This is abit of fun. Not too be taken too seriously..
We know from the books what happened to Honey, Tatiana and Tracy. We also know, apart from Camille what happened to the Craig era girls when the adventure with James ended....but the others?
This is a tongue in cheek look at life for them when Bond goes back to work and life goes on for the girls he encountered. Be warned - it isnt all wine and roses.
Mrs Tiffany Horowitz 1942-
After the Blofeld business in 1971 Tiffany had to get out of town for a while and joined a cruiseline as a croupier in the onboard casinos. She did this for five years travelling from Acapulco to Alaska. There she made a profit and eventually married Lew Horowicz and moved to Palm Springs.
Lew helped her set an exclusive jewellers in Palm Springs. She wasn’t allowed to use ‘Tiffany’ so borrowed the moniker of ‘The Whyte House’ which has become a Palm Springs legend. Lew Horowicz died in 2001 and increasingly Tiffany lives alone with her yappy dogs, red wigs and bottles of bourbon.
Memories of Bond? Its the only house in Palm Springs without a swimming pool as she hates water. This is due to swallowing copious amounts of seawater after falling off an Oil Rig in high heels.
Simone Latrelle (aka Solitaire) 1953-
After the San Monique business she returned to New York and reverted to her Haitian name. What money she had she invested in a secretarial course and the very presentable Miss Latrelle got a job with a Fortune 500 company near Wall Street. There her efficiency and personable demeanor meant she soon became a secretary to the CEO. Her salary enabled her to buy a small apartment in Chelsea in the seventies where she still lives.
Due to Kanangas controlling influence in her meant she never felt the need for marriage but has kept a legion of lifelong friends both male and female. She was involved in the gentrification of Harlem scheme in the nineties and upon retirement lives a quiet life with occasional ‘snowbird’ trips to Pheonix, Arizona in the winter.
Memories of Bond? Time has made it hazy. She has put being part of a voodoo sacrifice out of her mind. Being part of Kanangas gangsters is much clearer and more painful.
Mary Goodnight 1950-
Both MI6 and Mary both came to the same conclusion – that Mary wasn’t cut out for spying – at about the same time. They let her go and she moved back with her mother to the Sussex village of Pease Pottage. There she became a secretary at a respectable solicitors. In her spare time she showed off her exuberant personality by becoming a ‘Brown Owl’ to a legion of ‘brownies’ and girl guides. She was often seen with her ‘gels’ tramping across the countryside singing merrily away. She spends her time nowadays between Sussex and her equally mad sisters place in Torremelinos where she is a fierce bingo player, karaoke singer and Cliff Richard fan. She never touches fried mushrooms
She is seen as eccentric and has got into troubles with parents after filling the young girls heads with her adventures of flying cars, insane midgets and escaping explosions in just a bikini.
Major Anya Amasova 1955-1981
Deceased. Killed in a mujahedeen mortar ambush on a Soviet convoy on a road outside Kabul in 1981
Dr Holly Goodhead 1959-
Upon her return to earth after the Moonraker business Holly became increasingly aggravated by what she had just been through. She couldn’t believe a private individual could produce a space programme with an orbiting space station and the capacity to destroy the world and the American government wouldn’t know nothing about it? It was inconceivable! Therefore she pushed on her quest for answers.
The American government’s response to this for thirty years was to move her around in a succession of jobs in Houston, Florida, Seattle, California and even New Zealand. Every time she tried to go public they would hit her with lawyers. Now that she has retired to rural Oregon she has been gathering incontrovertible evidence now that she doesn’t have to fear for her job she plans to go public on the great ‘space station cover up’ of 1979 when she finds a publisher brave enough to go with her.
Memories of Bond? She wracks her considerable brain every day for more evidence of American complicity with Drax Industries. After all she was employed by them both.
Dr Melina Koukas 1957-
After what we know as FYEO Melina sold ‘The Triana’ after holding too many bad memories and used the profits by continuing her studies. She met fellow student Yiannes Koukas and went to work for the division of national monuments in Athens. Her doctorate meant she rose up the ranks to its director in 1998. She married Yiannes in 1986 and made up for losing her family by having a large one with Yiannes in the Athens suburbs. Her life for 25 years was children, the preservation of Greek monuments and being stuck in Athens traffic jams.
In 2008 the Greek economy collapsed and found herself jobless before retirement as did her husband. They manage to get along often relying on the grown up sons and savings.
Memories of Bond? Generally buried and never revisited.
Octopussy 1946-1998
Despite being on the good guys side life was fraught for Octopussy after the Faberge egg business. American, German, Russian and Indian authorities all turned their gimlet eyes on her business interests. She barely escaped prosecution but the resultant bad publicity was bad for business and over the rest of the eighties she lost the shipping, carnival and lucrative circus side.
She moved to Hong Kong for a while as her beloved island home was converted into a luxury hotel. It opened with much fanfare and applause from the Indian government who promoted it as a ‘heritage hotel’ of the old Maharajah Udai Singh. Octopussy was back in favour again.
Sadly, in 1994 she developed cervix cancer and despite fighting it for four years succumbed in 1998. She is buried beside Lake Pichola. I like to think Rog Bond visited her in those final years at least once.
Stacey Muldoon (nee Sutton) aka Susie Bryson
After the business involving Main Strike Mine Stacey felt she deserved a new life so moved away from northern California. With what little money she had left she moved to Santa Monica, Los Angeles at the end of 1985. She’d always be told she was photogenic so thought she would try he hand at acting.
While no Meryl Streep she was moderately successful getting walk on parts and occasionally speaking roles. Her personal life wasn’t so successful getting married to a man who eventually came out as gay and having an out-of-wedlock daughter with a black man. Also, as she got older she began to pile on the pounds. The ‘glamour girl’ roles began to dry up and to her humiliation she started to het offered ‘mom’ roles. She declined for years then necessity meant she took a ‘mom’ role in an ABC sitcom. It proved enormously successful and ran for ten years. To her amazement she could retire at 46.
Memories of Bond? Nowadays she usually found walking her dog along the boardwalk at Santa Monica in scarf and dark glasses. She has forgotten most of the Zorin business. Her memory is sparked by the Goodyear airship flying over or the smell of quiche.
Kara Wasserman 1965-
After the business with Koskov/Whitaker the defector Kara Milovy was signed with New York promoters Klein and Wasserman and she toured all over the world. She produced three top selling CDs of her music and could be counted as a success. The wall coming down and the worldwide fascination with anything Czech certainly helped.
But due to her experiences she became increasingly distrustful of men controlling her, he became brittle and stand offish but fell for the son of her promotion firm boss Sol Wasserman and moved to the Long island suburbs. She has no children.
While working in Barcelona last year she got off the train at Estacio Sants and swore she saw Georgi Koskov in the crowd. She hurried after him but he was swallowed by the crowds. She had to be calmed down by people surrounding her.
Memories of Bond? She separates her life in Czechkloslovakia before the defection to the one she has now. Sometimes on aeroplanes she has dream that she is flying the plane. In her dream she pulls on the controls and the plane starts to climb by its nose. The back of the plane is open and the whole of the passengers slide into space. She tries not to sleep on planes.

Fun idea!
Be my guest.
In my mind Jinx was attacked by chimps at a Cumbrian zoo and sadly didn't survive.
Wai Lin died in action after a daring escape involving a cool stunt went wrong.
It looked like her career was taking off at the end of TLD. He would have stayed in touch for a while.
After her mission with British intelligence, she was promised her own mission however at the thought of that her Boss Damion Falco committed suicide and made it look like she killed him using the Dr. Kaufman method. So in desperation, She went back to Cuba, got gene therapy surgery and went on to do a crappy re-adaptation of her only mission. After she found out they didn't use her voice she tried blowing up Activision but mysteriously got killed by Cat Woman.
yes, they both had reasonably happy endings. Melina is the only one I can having a family to make up for losing her own. Maybe Stacey.
Honey, Tatiana and Tracy we all know about. So we still have to do Domino, Kissy, Natalya, Wai Lin, Christmas Jones (which should be funny), Jinx and Camille.
Holly Goodhead- after the space incident, Holly found herself too often propositioned by CIA higher-ups and after karate chopping one too many superiors, was fired and then became a pioneer case for corporate sexual harassment. Needing money to pay all the lawyers she hired, she enrolled in the "Linda Lovelace School Of Fellatio" and became a stunt double.
Just kidding around for laughs, of course ;)
So this is what the much desired DAD after creds scene looked like. ;-) Good one, @Murdock! :-)
Natalya
Bond discovered that she's not actually a Russian computer programmer but a Swedish actress. Only trouble was, the Swedish language lessons had been overbooked already so he decided to brush up on some Danish instead. ;-) Too bad for Natalya, who would patiently await the awakening of London based Dragons and fight them via helicopter in their reign of fire...
And no @DarthDimi, It was the plot of the Jinx spinoff. =))
Wrote one for her in my other post.
Oh i am sure we can do multiple stories for each girl.
Do we know about Tatiana in the novels? I thought we only had info about Honey, Tracy, Gala Brand, Tiffany Case and Vivienne, if I am not mistaken.
After her one time in Turkey, Christmas wrote a book of her exploits with 007 though changing the names for privacy reasons. It was a successful Teen novel that spanned a sequel called Beyond The Ice to Die Another Day. Which featured Charlie Sheen going to Iceland to fight a Korean turned British man bent on destroying the world's coke supply. The sequel was deemed a critical failure and Christmas was forced by the US government to never write again. She went back to disarming Nuclear Reactors. But because she only wore a tank top and shorts. She got heavily radiated and became She Hulk and is currently waiting on a Motion picture deal with Disney.
Memories of Bond? She only thought you could Bond once a year. :))
From what i remember she was relocated to Canada after interrogation by mi6
Bond left her shortly after the events of GE, and she came running to me. :)
I quite like that!
Seriously, this is a really interesting thread, great idea. I, too, have wondered what happens after the film ends.
Lovely stuff.
PS - How did you decide it was Octopussy who got cancer? I like it that they dont all live happy ever after but did you just put all the names in a hat or do you just not like her?
After the Carver affair, Wai Lin was retired from the Chinese Secret Service and was instructed never to talk of General Chang again. After a brief stint as a private investigator in Malaysia, Ms. Lin moved to Canada, where she teaches Wing Chun in Quebec's Chinatown.
Memories of Bond? Lin and Bond's yearly week-long rendezvous in Key West Florida have kept them like new.
Oh I love Octopussy. She might be my second favourite Bond girl. But the events were thirty years ago and if she was then 37....well, you do the maths.
One or two of them we were going to lose to illness. There was something noble about Octopussy. She was a very likeable international criminal. If there was anyone who would battle against a prolonged disease it would be her.
It was a numbers game. We were going to lose one or two by 2013.
Following the Graves affair, Jinx was canned by the NSA, despite a good review of her work by James Bond, MI6 (She probably shouldn't have told the President that he could kiss her a*s to his face). She moved to a large northern American city and began a new life as a cat burglar of sorts but had to retire that idea when she suffered severe frostbite one chilly December mourning (She probably should have been wearing more than a black bikini & a mask). She has since founded Jinx's Whips-N-More, a speciality catering establishment.
bot
Kara- agrees to provide a cello-only score for LTK, but withdraws after discovering the film sucks
Do you actually think you are funny? News flash- you're not.
Come on SirHenry you're an old hand here - dont engage. This tosser is a classic case of IFM old son.
So I've been informed through a recent PM. Can't happen soon enough for me :)
