Ed Grundy

played by Barry Farrimond

Description

A major contributor to his mother's grey hair count, the younger of the two Grundy boys has always been a bit of a rebel. Being led into the seamier side of life by his friend Jazzer McCreary laid the foundations for his later slide into drink and drugs when girlfriend Emma left with baby George. The bitter feud over them with brother Will left him in what seemed like an irretrievable mess. His salvation has been Oliver Sterling, who entrusted him with Grange Farm's Guernseys, and eventually the whole farm.
