The problem with Grace Stone: A 'Manifest' fan shares why it's easy to loathe one of TV's most controversial characters

Grace has the right to move on during the five years the plane went missing and rebuild her life, but she is not upfront about it. That's why it’s hard to 'Manifest' love for her

From episode one of 'Manifest', Grace Stone is set up as a character to hate, and only gets easier to hate as the season progresses. Now, only nine episodes into season one and she is easily the most hated character on the show.

"I've spent every day of the last five years blaming you, not only for taking that later flight, but for making Cal so desperate for your attention that he wanted to stay with you." This one line in the pilot was the moment I knew I was not going to like Grace Stone.

Ben Stone had just recently found out that he’d gotten on a plane and didn’t get off until five and a half years later. He finds out his mother is dead, his 10-year-old daughter is now a teenager, and he no longer has a job. Now he has to hear that his own wife did not grieve him.
