When last we left the Legecci family, Goopy was tired of hiding his Ramcing ways from his wife, Anna Maria, and they now had two daughters, Bianca Rose & Belinda Grace.

Goopy continues to play around on his wife, but now he risks inviting his conquests home during times he knows she’ll be there.

He seems to *want* to get caught.

You might have thought that getting caught would be easier, now that Anna Maria had taken maternity leave from her job as an RN at the Legacy Bay Memorial Hospital, but … much to Goopy’s chagrin, Anna Maria is much too busy rearing little Belinda to notice what he’s been up to.

She grows from a precocious toddler into an active, playful little girl.

Bianca Rose soon becomes a teenager (rolling Romance, just like her father.)

Although always a pretty girl, she seems to delight in looking at herself in the mirror, often primping and preening before school.

Right away, she hits on the paper boy, Alon Livingston, never realizing that since there in no University in their reality, Alon will never grow up and will remain a teenager forever.

But that’s alright, because Bianca isn’t sure she wants to settle down with just one man anyway. But Alon sure is cute, isn’t he?

One minor annoyance for the family… everyone seems to be parking their vehicles in the front lawn. I mean, everyone… the repair people, the nanny, the gardener…

(a note from simmer – I had to install a fix for the missing service carpool and I apparently flubbed up the placement. It fixed the problem and my serviced NPCs have returned, but now they drive through the lawn Ooops!)

Anna Maria reached retirement age, but felt as though her family needed the money more than she needed to retire, so she accepted the job as General Practitioner. She loved the hours — it meant she was home more often now and was free to spend time with her family.

It is only then that she realizes what’s been going behind (or not so much) her back all this time.

Yes… Goopy & Jan STILL. The two of them are perfectly matched, because even though Goopy has been with every other woman in Legacy Bay, Jan is still willing to make out with him in front of his wife.

Anna Maria is outraged and slaps Goopy in front of Jan.

“How could you?” she asked, angrily.

‘Frankly, my dear,” said Goopy, “it was easy. You’ve always been too busy to notice.”

Anna Maria is devastated by this revelation.

Goopy is regulated to the couch now. Both Bianca and Belinda worry that
their mother might throw him and they run to her, crying, with their
concerns.

In truth, she had been thinking about it, but when her daughters begged her, she relented and told Goopy that he could stay — sleeping on the couch — until the girls were older.

So, Anna Maria, Goopy and their daughters continue living, working and attending school in much the same fashion.

The girls get into private school.

Goopy and Anna Maria achieve a few more promotions.

Finally, Belinda Grace becomes a teenager. She rolls knowledge.

But the family barely gets to celebrate her sweet sixteen when tragedy strikes…

Goopy dies of a heart attack. It’s Bianca’s new friend, Orlando, who finds him out by the swimming pool, collapsed.

Sadly, Orlando is not family and cannot plead when The Grim comes for Goopy, and he is spirited away to the afterlife.

R.I.P. Goopy Gilscarbo-Legecci.
