I really don't know what it is. I like the actress and I suppose that's part of what it is. I don't normally like characters who are angry all the time but there is something endearing about her being 'evil' lol I just find her really enjoyable and amusing! Plus I really like her feud with Merci. Something about it is hilarious.

Am I alone here or does any one else love Grace? Can you not quite put your finger on why, like me? Or do you hate Grace? Let me know guys

I prefer this SL with Mercedes as it's more exciting. She was utterly boring and annoying during her first few weeks on the show. She's more of an exciting character at the moment. I just hope they keep her away from the stupid gangster plots in the future.

Awful actor and awful character, then again that can be said for 3/4 of the 2013 additions.

I much prefer her as she is now. She was utterly boring and annoying during her first few weeks on the show. She's more of an exciting character at the moment. I just hope they keep her away from the stupid gangster plots she was getting dragged down in before.
I didn't catch much of her first few weeks. But I've been watching bits and bobs more regularly now. Yeah I find her quite exciting as well (storyline with Merci) I quite like some of her gangster stuff that I'm seeing the now, but I don't know how overdone it was earlier.

Well that was very nasty.

I hate the character. Awful. Wish they'd kept Clare on instead.

I Like Grace but the character dose need developing along with a variation of plot/story lines.

Yeah she definitely needs developing to go on in the show otherwise if she is kept as she is for too long with no development, it could get quite stale. She just needs to be given more layers as time goes on.

Can't stand the irritating, pointless retcon.

Well all there really was was lots of whispering in the club between her, Trevor and Fraser. It was bloody annoying.

Absolutely no need for the comment on her appearance.

Unfortunately I am not a fan of Grace.

I dislike the character. I think the actress is OK but the problem is Grace is very underdeveloped as a character so you just don't care. If we knew a bit more, understood why she is so grumpy all the time. The writing is awful and hard to follow too. I watch every episode and I'm still not sure why she wants to kill Mercedes. Maybe it was so dull I tuned out?

Mercedes mouthed off implying she pushed Claire in front of Brownings car. I only remember because Grace figuring it out seemed pretty contrived.

The actress is good, and I like the character. She's a lot more convinving as a "gangster" and villain than Claire was, in her most recent stint anyway.

I like Trevor but not a fan of Grace or Fraser. After Brendan no wannabe gangster will ever come close.

She's absolutely awful. The worst character in the show by a mile. And worse, she's dragged decent characters like Freddie, Mercedes and Trevor down with her.

No I do not love her. I really feel when I watch her that she is a cartoon character. All she wants to do is kill people and f*** Trevor.

And so much for being more "level-headed" than Clare. She's even more nuts. At least original Clare was safe and had more tact and had a reason for what she was doing. Grace seems to enjoy killing people and causing grief.

And the "killing in the name of Clare" drives me nuts. We know from Clare's background that she hated her family, and she clearly went to lengths to isolate herself from them if she changed her surname, so I can't stand watching Grace seemingly give a damn now.

I really wish they hadn't brought Clare back to kill her off. It was a petty, insulting exit and Grace hasn't been worth it. She is clearly just a Clare replacement, they've given her both the relationship with Trevor that is forbidden by Fraser and the rivalry with Mercedes. Clare needed family to stabilise and give her lifespan in the village, not to replace her.

I don't appreciate the insults the actress gets about her looks though. I don't care if she's not your type, leave it out.

I do think they'd have potential with the actress but everything about her has been ridiculous so far.
