- exGF, 30: Lillian Marion Best---At 60, Larry has retreated into an heremitic life. He spends most of his days at Rosewood, carefully archiving family memorabilia. He only leaves the house to visit Rose's grave, and has passed the mantle of managing charitable trusts to Anne. She has become his confidante, as his surviving sons, busy with their own lives, visit less and less frequently.Anne has never remarried. She is fond of her solitary life. Larry has become a surrogate father to her. Most days, they are the only company the other can stand.Over time, cracks began to form on Julian and Evie's affection. Julian remains queer, withdrewn, paranoid. Evie has tried her best to help him, and to calm him, but he never let her in. Eventually, as her efforts remained fruitless, Evie broke off the engagement.

-Dbf: (24) Jasper Reuben DrakefordRachel and Allen had two baby girls. Jeremy got married from someone he met at college, they got married and recently had a son. Meg started dating a co-worker.Meanwhile, Anthony and two of Grace’s sisters went to court. After a lengthy trial, all were sentenced to prison, but for different lengths. Grace’s sister who kidnapped and stole from Anthony. Was sentenced for seventy years, so basically the rest of her life unless she lived to 135 years old. Grace’s other sister was sentenced to two years. Lastly, Anthony’s punishment. Grace’s death was considered self-defense in the court and that Anthony didn’t know she would die from her illness. He was sentenced to eighteen months. His time in prison didn’t affect the children as they all moved out.

Anthony met someone else after he got out of prison, her name was Lucille. She was someone that he could trust and believe. They got married eventually and moved into a large house together. Anthony hopes to retire early in five years and move to Florida with Lucille. The weather in Connecticut is not ideal. The all live happy lives in the end (besides for Grace and her sisters, but they deserved it) Jeremy became very succesful like his father, and Rachel raised a happy family. After several ups and downs throughout their journey. They all made it out alright

- SO [22] Celia Genevieve DrakefordRebecca was bitten by a deadly snake soon after she moved to New Mexico, unbeknownst to the Buckleys. Phoebe simply assumed Rebecca had stopped contact with her.Marion had another daughter, Louisa. This one was a mirror of her mother, with the exception of blue eyes. Blue eyes just like Charlie. But also just like the late Lydia Grace. Marisol knows, or has a strong sense, the child is Charlie's, but doesn't tell Julian, of course.Back to Phoebe, though. The young spinster has really made a name for herself in the Maryland music industry as a singer. She frequents a few local clubs for gigs, some in the not so nice parts of town. It was on a dreary December night that she and Lori were coming home from a Christmas shopping trip that some of Phoebe's not-so-nice not-quite-friends brutally murdered both the singer and her niece, only seven at the time. It was this same dreary December night that frail little Edna was caught in the chilly rain. She succumbed to pnuemonia the night after Christmas.It was almost too much for Nathaniel's old heart. He received a pay cut, the second one in as many months on a few nights before New Year's. Things were not looking good for him.Jessie, through all this, has been hard at work, creating a landscaping business. All in all, he's been quite successful, mowing a lawn here, trimming a hedge there. The little bits add up. Through this, he's started seeing Celia Drakeford, a girl working her way through college at a local diner. The two have been going steady for about two years now, and want to get in more stable positions in life before getting married.

Emma and David met in school and were high school sweethearts.David has an affair with a young intern in the bank's admin department. David decided to leave his old family behind and start a new life with Isabelle, leaving Emma a newly single mother of three._It's been five years since Emma or the kids had contact with David. Well, besides Jeremy, who showed up on his father's doorstep after an argument with his mother when he was 16. Isabelle argued on his behalf to let him stay, but David would not have it. Jeremy went home and held a new appreciation for his dear mother, whom he knew would never abandon him, despite the hard time that had befallen his family.
