HO boss has just said try will be taking Grace out off her criminal world and pairing her up with someone and will be showing a softer side to her character.

I think Grace has potential to be a really good character and it's obvious BL doesn't want to let Tamara go but with all the negative opinions around Grace he knows he has to change her or axe her.

Personally I like Grace how she is even though others don't and I think Tamara is a brilliant actress. I hope she still has a evil streak and they don't just make her a soft blond who will let people walk all over her. Hopefully she will be like how they've made Sienna likeable, she still does her bad stuff but can get away with it.

Also glad to see Tamara staying on as Grace!

I hate her. She's a terrible character played by a terrible actress and she has no place on the show.

I don't like her, but maybe getting away from the gangster stuff and showing a softer side she might become more likeable.

By no means a bad actress but I can't think who they'd pair her up with to humanise the character.

She's a brilliant actress. Tamara is a credit to the show and she does have a place on the show. Just because a handful of people on DS don't think so doesn't mean everyone else thinks so.

Who are you talking about? Me?

I don't like the character at all; could this change my mind? I'll have to see, she's just not very likable. At least Mercedes has her funny moments.

What's about her relationship with Trevor? He doesn't want to be gangster anymore either, maybe two ex-gangsters will be interesting?

Trevor is an interesting gangster though IMO

Why would someone say they hate an actress?

I think it's the character that they dislike.

I HATE when she's trying to be a gangster she can't pull it off at all but she's good at being a bitch and I want her and Mercedes to have that Warren and Brendan relationship. Friends close, enemies closer. Humanizing her has worked well so far.

Yes I completely agree with you.

I think her scenes with Nana were actually quite nice as well.

brilliant - I love Grace and I think Tamara is a fabulous actress - looking forward to seeing who BL will pair her up with - personally I love her and Trevor together but if they want to see a softer side to Grace that isnt ever going to happen with Trevor, whilst they clearly love each other they just tend to bring out the worst in each other

Would Grace and Dodger work........ Or Rick..... possibly

Maybe a new character will be brought in

OK, fair enough they want to tone her down now, but they should have made more of an effort to make her more fully rounded in the first place, otherwise its just going to be contrived. That and I still feel she's an half arsed last minute Clare replacement.

Not being able to conceive and a few light hearted scenes with Nana aren't going to cut it with me to give her sympathy. Not yet.

Hollyoaks is just a game of Sims being played by the producers.

Pretty sure she was. She was only meant to be around for about 3 months so there was no need to make her as fleshed out as now. She's still only been around for eight months it seems so much longer.

I agree. But it would have been better for Mercedes and Clare to have a relationship like that. It does seem like Gemma Bissix decided not to come back full time do Grace was a replacement. Oh well least there's one last link to Clare left.

Where did you get three months from?? It was never said she was there for 3 months. Gemma Bissix was meant to come back full time but is strongly applied she decided not to so they created Grace for SL's planned for her.

The actress is good, its just the writing for the character that is a letdown
