In response to a question from a fan of the show regarding Grace’s death, Knight answered by saying, “The point with Grace is that if she had lived, Tommy would have been happy. He wasn't meant to be happy.”
Grace is shown to make appearances in season five after Thomas Shelby begins hallucinating an apparition of Grace multiple times. However, in season 5, she tries to convince Shelby to take his own life. The creator of the show, Steven Knight wrote about the same on Peaky Blinders website.
