Suggested correction: It's not uncommon for TV shows to do this, especially with kids. In this exact show they had a baby Nicky who the following season suddenly was like 5 or 6 years old. Other shows like Family Ties and Growing Pains did the same thing. Shows are not always shown in real time when it comes to episodes. They can each take place days, weeks, months or years from previous episodes.

This isn't a valid correction. Just because shows do it or it's common doesn't invalidate the mistake. And while shows don't always have to be shown "in real time", all the other characters would have to make the same jump in age, otherwise it's a mistake.

As Bishop73 said, it's a legitimate mistake because the other characters did not age by four years. There was no time jump. Changing her age does not make sense within the "world" of the show.

Answer: No, it's not Whoopi Goldberg herself, just like that's not Prince or Ray Charles. The limo is filled with celebrity impersonators, but they're all uncredited and I could find out who played them.
