Fourteen years later, and Adam has more hair - an item that is dealt with early on. Although he's about to get married to a woman in Singapore, Karen David, he's having trouble with his son Ceallach Spellman, who's having an existential crisis. Poor old Pete is suffering from depression, though is also a carer for feisty James Bolan. Karen is being romanced by Art Malik and David is in legal trouble, and ends up in prison. Then he ends up getting involved with Siobhan Finneran and her violent husband Robert Glenister.
So it's all very smoothly and believably been revived.
Also new are Pete and Jenny's kids Jack Harper and Madeleine Edmondson (not Adrian's daughter - that's Freya) and Karen's daughters Daisy Edgar-Jones and Ella Hunt. And Adam's landlady, Leanne Best. And, irregularly, Callum Woodhouse as Josh.
There are other writers here and there.
Paul Ritter is a rather grumpy publishing partner who reveals he's a romantic fiction writer. Ivanno Jeremiah is Jen's cancer buddy. Eve Myles briefly dates Adam, but he's in love with Karen. Gemma Jones is the new Karen's mum.
Great twist has Pete on jury service and the defendant is only the little girl that Adam and Rachel were going to adopt, played by Sacha Parkinson (though strangely her story then completely peters out). David's brief acquaintanceship with homelessness is dealt with well (he's rescued by both ex wives!)
