<p id=”par-1_61″>The Garvey sisters lost one of their own early in <em>Bad Sisters</em> Season 2, their beloved sister Grace. She’d found love again after killing her husband, John Paul (Claes Bang), in the previous season. Instead of mourning her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ncis-actor-unhappy-killed-off-creators-said.html/”>character’s death</a> and her own exit from the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/apple-tv-plus/”>Apple TV+ original series</a>, actor Anne-Marie Duff saw killing off Grace as a “brilliant idea.” </p>

<p id=”par-2_28″>Speaking to <a href=”https://variety.com/2024/tv/global/bad-sisters-grace-death-season-2-premiere-1236207837/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Variety</a> about the “soap opera surprise” of Grace’s death in the second episode of <em>Bad Sisters</em> Season 2, Duff shared how she reacted to the twist. </p>
<p id=”par-3_30″>“I think it’s a brilliant idea,” she told the outlet. “Because it shakes things up, and it changes the landscape, and suddenly there’s a huge amount of freedom in that.” </p>
<p id=”par-4_24″>“And also, it was such a repeated question, ‘What happens to Grace in Season 2?’ And it removes that from the conversation,” she added. </p>
<p id=”par-5_64″>Eva Birthistle, who plays Garvey sister, Ursula, saw it as a way to make the show even better for viewers. “I think what happens with the audience, then, is they think, ‘Well, if <em>that’s</em> possible, if <em>that’s</em> going to happen, then it could be anything that [can] happen.’ And it really keeps everybody on the back foot, and that makes for very enjoyable watching.”</p>

<p id=”par-6_58″>Speaking to <a href=”https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/bad-sisters-cast-explains-that-devastating-season-2-death-twist/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Daily Beast Obsessed</a>, <em>Bad Sisters</em> Season 2 showrunner and star Sharon Horgan (Eva) shared that she didn’t write Grace’s death into the story without changing her mind. “I was nervous about it, and I went back and forth; she was dead, and then I was like, ‘No, we’re not going to do that,” she said.</p>
<p id=”par-7_57″>Ultimately, Horgan felt it was right for the narrative. “Then it was honestly the only way I could see us moving forward with the story,” she explained. “Where the sisters felt like they had a purpose, where the show felt different, where it felt like <em>Bad Sisters</em> in its DNA, but it was doing something entirely different.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_54″>“I felt as awful as it was [Grace’s death], Season 1 ends on a really high note, and she’s [Grace] triumphantly jumping into the water. Well, for me, that’s a beautiful ending, but it’s not life.” The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/bad-sisters-star-sharon-horgan-wanted-season-2-happen-fairy-tale-season-1.html/”>fairy tale-esque ending</a> to <em>Bad Sisters</em> Season 1 is why Horgan wanted to do a second season. </p>
