For those who can’t live without Capn Ross-spoiler alert, so look away now if you don’t want to know how the story goes on (in the books)
Ross and Demelza are with us to the end, as is George, though he’s made a disastrous business decision and been robbed by Ross’s son, Jeremy. George also remarries – a noblewoman, though she’s only in it for the money. Drake and Morwenna end up running a shipbuilding business in Looe. Geoffrey Charles returns from war with a Spanish bride and reopens Trenwith. Dwight Enys becomes physician to mad King George III, and he and his wife, Caroline, who lost their baby daughter to a heart defect in series four, go on to have two more children. George’s son, Valentine (actually fathered by Ross) turns into a bit of a cad, then dies. Jeremy also meets his maker, but honourably at the Battle of Waterloo. Their youngest daughter, Bella, the one Demelza tells Ross she is carrying at the end of last night’s episode, goes on to be a talented singer and actress on the London stage.
So there.
