Grace Bennett (née Standish) is a fictional character on the NBC/DirecTV soap opera Passions, portrayed by Dana Sparks from the series premiere on July 5, 1999, until January 22, 2007. Unknowingly gifted with supernatural powers, Grace is presented early on as the ideal wife, mother, and homemaker; however, Grace's perfect family life begins to noticeably fall apart in 2001, when her husband, Sam, is revealed to have fathered a son with another woman and a mysterious man arrives in Harmony, claiming to be her husband from her pre-amnesia days. Grace's Roman Catholic faith leads Grace to chose a life with David instead of Sam, and Sam and their children, hurt, turn their backs on her. Grace moves to Italy with David in mid-2004 and is not seen on-screen again until late in 2006, when her daughter Kay admits that Sam's ex, Ivy, had hired David to pretend to be Grace's husband in a ploy to win Sam for herself. While in London awaiting a flight back to the United States on January 4, 2007, Grace is killed in a bus explosion engineered by Vincent Clarkson. |
