And Yet More Worse

Now Fiorella will tackle the pater and mater familias of For Better or for Worse, John and Elly.

Retired dentist John, a model train enthusiast, will seem to be settling down into grandfatherhood, but actually he's been coupling on the side rail for while with another type model, one with big headlights and a cute caboose, for whom he will leave his wife. Elly, lonely and desperate, will take up cartooning. The full circle--what else?

A few other characters also need to be given more interesting futures. It will turn out that Gordon's business empire was terribly overextended and he will flee across the border and, ever the entrepreneur, set up a series of chop shops to finance a life of licentious luxury. Lawrence and his partner will break up and duke it out in court over their gardening business and the three Chinese children they have adopted. And April's old friend, Rebecca, becomes part of the Paris-Britney-Lindsey crowd and gets her shaved crotch featured on the Internet.

And you didn't know Canada could be that interesting!
