Clarrie Grundy

Played by Rosalind Adams

Clarrie Grundy
  • Born: 12 May 1954
  • Status: Married to Eddie Grundy
  • Occupation: Occasional barmaid

Long suffering Clarrie maintains a fierce love for all the men in her life. They've each heaped upon her more than her share of trouble and heartache but she would still defend every one of them against all-comers.

Generous at heart, she's had to put aside her reservations about Emma Grundy and Nic Hanson, and accept that they make her sons Ed and Will (respectively) happy.

She used to work in the dairy at Bridge Farm but in the summer of 2011 she was mortified to be the unwitting carrier of E coli. This landed several people in hospital and brought her employer close to financial ruin.
