Grace TV vs the books: How was the twist different?
Master manipulator Ashley was supposed to marry Michael and then kill him off a few months later, inheriting all his wealth – but the coffin prank scuppered that plan, meaning that she had to improvise. She and her real partner (the blackmailer) have been systematically scamming wealthy men across the globe, and Michael was the latest in a long line. Mark is then killed by the mysterious blackmailer – and now all eyes turn to Ashley, who isn’t all that she seems. Sure enough, Mark is sent covert photos of him removing the breathing tube a demand for £5 million and, at the bottom of the envelope, a severed finger belonging to Michael. The police eventually find the coffin in a wooded area but to Mark’s horror, the coffin is empty, meaning someone else out there knows what he did – and that Michael could still be alive. And it turns out that Ashley (who at the start of the episode played the role of grieving bride-to-be perfectly) has been sleeping with Mark, and knew about his plan to steal the breathing tube. Mark’s motive? Ashley, Michael’s fiancée, whom Mark is besotted with. Mark not only doesn’t tell the police about the location, but he goes back to the wooded area and takes the breathing tube, leaving Michael in even further jeopardy. There is one groomsman who didn’t die in the car crash, and who also knows the location of the coffin: Michael’s best man and business partner, Mark.
