Round 24 Outtakes

Is it just me, or is Finn kind of rocking the kilt? Or, at least, rocking it better than Brandon Lillard does?

Custom concern

Round 24: Spring 2020
Narrated by Mina Lachance

When I heard about Maria's death, I decided to invite my brother Emil around, together with some other family members. Maria and I never really recovered our relationship after Abigail's graduation party and my relationship with Emil suffered as a result.

(Gordon is 24, Lia is 23, Maia is 18 and Rebecca is 11)

Magdalena and I are both missing having Lia and Maia living at home with us but I have to admit, it's been kind of nice as well.

Suedehead

Round 24: Spring 2020
last update/next update

Arianna Weaver is 65, Liam is 57, Jonas Lachance is 42, Tatiana is 37, Dominic is 10, Audrey is 8 and Edward is 5.
(Jacob and Claudia are both 19)

Narrated by Jonas Lachance

Tatiana is now the principal of Sullivan Primary School, which the whole family is really proud of, no one more than Tatiana herself. Her grandmother was the principal of the high school, back when Tatiana and I were there, and I think it's always been a goal of hers to get to that level one day.

Mirror kissers

Round 24: Spring 2020

Principal Tatiana Lachance is 37, Pamela Gray is 35 and Joanna Gottlieb is 25.
Students: Tessa Novak and Rebecca Kirby are both 11, Dominic Lachance, Susannah Carmody, Nathan Collins and Malcolm Novak are all 10, Hope Collins and Julia Gray are both 9, Jack and Charlie Benton and Audrey Lachance are all 8, Sophie Gottlieb, Connor Novak and Camilla and Lila Sitko are all 7, Josh Royce-Nihill and Elspeth Romilly are both 6, Christopher Draper, Lucy Gray and Edward Lachance are all 5 and Oliver and Sebastian Gentry are both 4.


Oliver and Sebastian are the first kids into the school. They had a few months at pre-school in the old building but they're keen to check out the new school, where the pre-schoolers now have an entire room to themselves. Seeing Oliver and Sebastian are the only 4 year-olds at SPS this year, they have their pick of the toys.

You say it's your birthday, Spring 2020

Just three more months until Finn and Victoria's little accident arrives! They're both trying to stay on top of their course work while they still can - it'll just be that much harder when the baby arrives!

(Jace is 63, Magdalena is 56, Evan is 31, Steve is 25 and Gordon is 24).

Narrated by Lia Novak

Right up until I graduated, I really had no idea what I wanted to do for a living. The only thing I really want to do is raise a family. But I needed a job until then, so I started working at the library in Exeter.

last update/next update
Joanna Gottlieb and Rose Draper are both 25.
(Adam is 65, Athena is 60, Amelia is 31, Wade is 30, Sophie is 7, Noah is 2 and Emma is 2 weeks old)

Narrated by Joanna Gottlieb

I couldn't really believe it myself but I actually won $60,000 in the lottery! It's meant that Rose and I have been able to start our lives together a lot more comfortably than we might have been able to otherwise - our own house, two cars and some money to put away for a rainy day too.

Narrated by Aaron Novak

Grandma got in a car accident the other week and she's on doctor's orders to rest up. She's got a cast on her arm and has a lot of bruising, so she's supposed to be taking it easy but Grandpa keeps catching her trying to take the garbage out, or exercise. Anything she's not supposed to do.

Narrated by Araminta Romilly

Once Finn went off to college and it was just Henry, Elspeth and me in the house, I thought things would be much quieter around here but it really hasn't worked out that way at all.

How to live alone

Round 24: Autumn 2020
Last update: Maia/Josie/Patience
Next update
Maia Novak, Josie Benton and Patience Draper are all 18.
(Jacob, Finn and Claudia are all 19)

Maia is settling into Novak Hall and in contrast to how she spent her time in high school, she's already got cracking on her course work. Academics are still not her strong point but she doesn't want her parents to feel like they've wasted their money in paying for her tuition - to her family, the tuition is a lot of money.
