The actors playing Stephanie, Jilly and Dennis were later brought back to film a hasty five-minute conclusion to the various unresolved storylines that was added to the end of the final episode in order to bring the series to a close. Dennis' abductor is revealed as Chris (Graham Harvey), his half-brother and Stephanie and Ahmal's long-lost son, who abandons his plan to hold Dennis for ransom when he is told he would stand to inherit millions.
