The series was co-written by scriptwriters John T. Chapman, Eric Merriman, Christopher Bond, John Kane and Jon Watkins.
After Happy Ever After ended, Scott and Whitfield later starred in Terry and June from October 1979 to August 1987, a sitcom that was similar to Happy Ever After, (minus Aunt Lucy), with Terry and June's surname changed from "Fletcher" to "Medford", and the characters shifted to Purley.

Plot
Terry and June Fletcher are a middle-aged, middle-class couple who find themselves alone when their grown-up children, daughters Susan and Debbie, leave home. However, they are not alone for long as Aunt Lucy comes to live with them, along with her talking mynah bird.
Terry frequently hits upon an idea, which due to his foolhardy and obsessive manner he then continues with whatever the consequences, while June remains patient and tolerant.
