Biography[]
Grace Black first came to Hollyoaks in November 2013. She arrived after the death of her half-sisterClare Devine and joins their fatherFraser Black in their quest to avenge her death by finding the killer. During that time, she settles herself in the village and helps Fraser run the family's criminal empire. Soon enough Grace and Fraser begin to fall out when she starts dating his right-hand manTrevor Royle, who eventually falls in love with Grace and the two start a relationship against Fraser's objections.
It is then Grace becomes sworn enemies with local resident Mercedes McQueen, which was first instigated when Grace finds out that Mercedes was the cause of Clare's death and seeks revenge on her as a New Year 2014 resolution. Grace uses her stepbrother Freddie Roscoe to kill Mercedes. When he refuses, Grace kidnaps his brother Joe and ties him up in the council flats which are demolished. Fraser and his henchmen recover Joe's body and he remains in a coma for several months.
When Joe recovers from his coma months later, he returns to the village and exposes Grace and Fraser for who they are. A few weeks later, Fraser is murdered by a mystery killer and Grace blames Joe and has him set up for it. He is later found innocent when Freddie the real killer plants evidence in possession of the deceased Sam Lomax.
Later in the year, Grace is accidentally shot by Mercedes and rendered unable to carry her own child. Esther Bloom soon offers to be her surrogate after being involved in a near death experience with them.
Soon after Mercedes reveals to Grace, Freddie as the real killer of her dad, and she vows to get revenge on him. When Mercedes plans to leave the village, Grace arrives at her house and non-fatally stabs her to create a crime scene. She sends Mercedes to live in her villa in Nice, while they both work together to bring down Freddie.
On Grace and Trevor's wedding day, Trevor and Grace start panicking. In The Loft, Trevor speaks to a picture of his son, Dylan Royle (who had died previously). As he leaves, Ben (Ben Richards) arrives, having been told by Sienna Bradley (Anna Passey) that they had been having an affair for months. Ben is furious, and the two fight. Trevor pushes Ben to the ground, Ben trips him up, a fight is unseen, Trevor leaves the club, and walks past Nico Blake (Persephone Swales-Dawson), Ben comes out, Nico asks what happened, he tells her. As Trevor arrives at the church, Nico arrives, wishing Trevor good luck, she goes to hug him, which Trevor hesitantly accepts. Nico stabs Trevor, weakening him. Trevor decides to ignore the wound when he thinks of Grace to not let her down, and walks inside. The two get to 'I do', Trevor collapses and dies in Grace's arms.
In 2025, Grace is killed-off during the show's 30th anniversary special week of episodes. She had a confrontation with her sister Clare, who had recently come back from the dead, in which the latter shot her in front of their half-brotherRex Gallaghar and their paternal grandfatherFroggy Black during the scuffle. Grace was rushed to hospital where she reconciled with Rex, who had earlier been revealed to actually be Grace's long-lost son and not her brother; however, she later flatlines and Grace dies in front of her devastated loved ones.
