William Grundy
played by Philip Molloy
Description
The fact that Will used to hide under the table to gain attention when his brother Edward was a baby was perhaps a portent. Initially as mischievous but always more constant than Ed, Will is the more stolid of the two Grundy boys, and the one some might say would make the better husband. Emma Carter didn't agree, and strayed from the confines of her new (and as she saw it slightly boring) marriage towards the more risky brother. There followed utter devastation as the deceit was uncovered and Emma (erroneously) claimed her baby was Ed's. The brothers struggled to get past the huge rift as Emma finally settled on her true love Ed. Will coped by leaving Ambridge for a while, and returned a calmer man, trying if not entirely able to move on. He came into some money and met new love Nic Hanson. He sees his son regularly and has bought a property. But the memory of that bleak time will be with him always.
