In the show, Grace is the daughter of a wealthy English family; she falls in love with central character Phil Archer, the son of a farmer, and they are married in episodes broadcast in April 1955. In the episode broadcast on September 22, a fire breaks out at the stables while the residents of the village are at a dinner in the church hall. Grace runs into the burning barn to try to save her friend's horse and, as she searches, a burning beam breaks and crashs onto her, trapping her. Phil and the others at the party learn that Grace is trapped in the shed; they pull her from the wreckage and she is rushed to hospital, but is pronounced dead on arrival.
