Which sister do you prefer in Hollyoaks? Grace or Clare?

Bryan Kirkwood said they are similiar characters but Grace is a lot worse than Clare according to him. In October 2013, he quoted "the real mastermind of that clan is still yet to make her appearance. That is something I'm very excited about - we're going to meet a new mega-bitch!" http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/news/a521819/hollyoaks-boss-reveals-new-character-theresa-future-bullying-plot.htm

What are your thoughts?

    she clearly isn't a mastermind with all the mistakes she has made and Faser has had to cover up

    Thing is the actress who played Clare could act the one who plays Grace can't. It didn't help that she looked way older than Fraser.

    Something i've always wanted to know is it Claire OR Clare?

    Either way she's better than Grace.

    They're both awful. Gemma Bissix is a dreadful, hammy actress.

    Agreed. I think the person who plays Grace is a much better actress but hasnt been as lucky as Gemma with her storyline. (Clare's previous stint with Max was a gift and didnt require much from the actress to make it work

    Exactly. Max and OB were the most popular characters at that time. If she'd been involved with anyone else, it would not have been nearly so successful.

    As much as I love Grace I have to say Clare. She was the original HO bitch! I can never forgive them for killing her off. :(

    Pity there isn't a 'neither' option. Both rubbish characters in my opinion, although Tamara Wall is a much better actress than Gemma Bissix

    That's my position exactly, so I didn't vote.

    From Hollyoaks sources, it's usually spelled "Clare".

    I agree, I enjoyed Clare much more than I've enjoyed Grace.

    Thank you. That's been the problem for me. I'm sure it's been spelled both ways. I'll go with Clare from now on.

    Clare's original stint >>>>>>

    But Clare's 2nd and 3rd stints and Grace's current stint are as bad as each other.

    I prefer Grace, which just shows how BAD I thought Clare was (as I'm not Grace's biggest fan...)

    To be fair though, I didn't watch Hollyoaks back when she was on it at first (with Max, etc). So I can only judge her based on her second stint last year, when she kidnapped Mercedes, etc.

    I think I would have enjoyed the Frazer stuff much better if it was Clare not Grace who was part of it.

    Neither. I'm truly fed up of 'gangster' Grace. Hope she hurries up and leaves soon.

    100% Clare.
    I actually began to quite like the character before she died, so was disappointed when it happened because I thought there was still stuff they could do with her.

    The Fraser stuff would have been a better storyline had it been Clare instead of Grace.

    I can't stand Grace. I can't wait for her to leave.

    Grace is a much better actress but the character isn't as great.

    Clare was a class act during her first stint, they ruined it by bringing her back as an unhinged panto villain. Grace is just crap.

    Well my vote goes to Clare Devine. Hollyoaks best bad girl. She won Villain of the year and although on some of her returns she didn't quite make the impact she did say 2006/2007 she was still good. Had story lines been better than maybe.

    One thing that annoys me is they released Clare from prison. Got her off, introduced her father who she mentioned a few times before and kill her off in the most stupid way possible. I still cant believe it. Clare Devine has long forever been my favourite soap character and she could've continued on the show a lot longer or at least till Christmas last year and get a decent farewell.

    As for Grace i actually like her character. Although some of the writing they seem to have messed up a little. She's mentioned Clare a few times so it's nice to know more about Clare and yet it's still odd as to why the killed her off. They made Grace a mess and Fraser cleaning up her act. I'm guessing she hasn't worked out so far. She has been OK though. I wouldn't want her to be killed off or leave. They could improve the character and if anyone should be killed off it's Mercedes.

    I'd be very annoyed if they killed Grace off as she is the closet thing to Clare on the show and i want her to get justice for Clare's death. Such a shame they had no scenes together though.

    Grace needs better story lines. Bryan Kirkwood has made a huge mistake killing of the legendary Clare Devine though and now it's backfired. So i hope he doesn't just kill Grace off. Try and save the mess you started.

    Another thing though Grace is bad yes but how is she worse than Clare? I don't see it. Clare showed a little human traits while she was in prison and when Trevor tried to stop her with the bombs (how she was saying her father made her this) and Grace has showed more and wanted her fathers love. So I'd say Clare is the ultimate Villain there!!
