Grandma Glad

Character Analysis

For someone whose name includes the word glad, Grandma Glad is not someone who is ever happy at all. She's a dour old woman who has never fully accepted Bev or Evie into her life; in her eyes, Joe made a huge mistake by marrying someone that she views as "damaged goods." She has always seen Bev as a tramp that can't be trusted, and the whole Peter Coleridge debacle just confirms to her that Bev and Evie are good-for-nothings. We've got a feeling that a lady as miserable as Grandma Glad really enjoys being validated too.
