Babe was a beautiful representation of a sassy woman who lived life to the fullest right to the end. She threw a wonderfully elaborate party with all her friends and went out exactly the way she wanted to. One of the main storylines in the series, which shed light on aging women never really seen in shows before, was when she decided to throw a death party and asked Frankie to euthanize her before she became too sick to enjoy life. 4 BabeĪfter moving into the Beach House together and finding their rhythm, Grace and Frankie also found wonderful times with their old friend Babe. It was later revealed that Phil had passed away years later, leaving Grace no chance to ever have something meaningful with him. Phil was not only married but caring for his wife who was suffering from Alzheimer’s. Sadly, even though they dated for a while after reconnecting, the timing was not right. She later regretted that decision, especially after realizing her husband was gay. After working on her home when she was married to Robert, Grace declined the chance to have an affair with him. 5 Philįans felt like Phil was the one that got away and was meant to be Grace’s true soulmate. Even though Jack seemed all wrong for Frankie, he did what he could to win her heart, even bidding on Jerry Garcia’s shoes and giving one to her after winning. When she finally realized what it was – that he had spent time in a mental institution following a breakdown after a nasty divorce – she was able to deal with the truth. The funniest story with him was when he whispered a huge secret to Frankie and she didn’t want to admit she never heard it because of her hearing issues.
Jack is one of the best guest stars on Grace and Frankie. While he’s a funny character in and of himself, what fans love about Oliver is that they picture Robert and Sol having been in his same position so many decades before. His wife then Jo broke things off with him. After returning to the show in later seasons, it is revealed that Oliver is indeed gay and had come out by then. They try to warn his wife-to-be but she doesn’t seem to suspect anything is off about Oliver. 7 Oliverįans enjoy how Oliver was originally like looking in a mirror for Sol and Robert, who instantly believed the young man, who was engaged to a woman, was gay. While she couldn’t do the secretarial work anymore, working to help Grace and Frankie build something helps keep her young.
Sol’s former secretary, she decided to continue working with Grace and Frankie and their business ventures to keep herself busy. She’s in the golden years of her life, after all, and has become fearless. Whether it’s something illegal or that crosses a line, Joan-Margaret is all for it. Joan-Margaret is a hilarious character who adds a lot more fun to the show with her funny one-liners, no-care attitude, and subtle references to a questionable past. Nonetheless, he added something interesting to the story, becoming the third wheel in the relationship between her and Frankie instead of the other way around. While he seemed to dote on his new wife, however, she was never as interested in him as he is in her. It was one of the most romantic scenes on Grace and Frankie. Fans loved how persistently Nick pursued Grace, despite her reluctance due to their almost 30-year age difference. Nick is the first character to capture Grace’s heart, so much so that she agreed to elope and marry him, even moving into his lavish home. Her neuroses are often the subject of rolled eyes amongst family members, but Bud always dotes on his wife and now mother to her child. Now a mother, her strangeness is interesting next to Frankie’s own unique style as well. The family, however, eventually warmed to her and all her unusual behavior. At first, Allison – one of the least ibviously intelligent characters on Grace and Frankie – came across as fairly needy, shedding light on numerous ailments from which she suffered. Bud is a quirky character so it would make sense that he would marry an equally quirky character.
