Grant married Sharon in 1991 but soon after the magic begun to fade and he begun to treat her badly. He was out a lot of nights, leaving her lonely and when he was there to run the pub, he was very moody and nasty to her. He often was prone to terrible rages. In 1992, when he finds out Sharon is taking contraception, he smashes up the pub and flees. While Grant is away, Sharon seeks comfort in Grant's older and more gentle brother Phil. They even end up sleeping together. One minute they were looking at each other and the next they were ripping each others clothes off.
