So where are they all now? Sean and his brother Eddie have quit their day jobs and opened a pub (Eddie thought is was so they could burn it down for the insurance, but turns out Sean actually wants to make it work).

Claudia has decided that she's put her life on hold for the family for long enough now. Lily is as boy-crazy as ever. Jimmy is entering his teens.

And Henry? Well, Henry is still getting away with just about everything...
