Fans of the ITV series 'Grace' were disheartened by the announcement that actor Craig Parkinson, who played DS Norman Potting, will not return for the next series, marking the end of his character’s journey. Craig expressed gratitude for his time on the show and shared his decision on social media after the series four finale aired on September 22. The same episode featured a major plot twist as DS Roy Grace, played by John Simm, discovered that his wife Sandy, who had been presumed dead since 2021, is alive, leading to mixed reactions from viewers. While some fans were excited about Sandy's return and the potential resolution to her mysterious disappearance, others criticized the show for straying from the original novels by Peter James. The reunion between Roy and Sandy was fraught with tension, as Roy was shocked by Sandy's condition and her anger towards him. This dramatic development has left fans divided over the direction of the series and its fidelity to the source material.
