[edit] Character History

Bill is the father of Neville Ashworth and lives with his sons’ family.

At 79, Grampa Bill remains a livewire among the Ashworth family. He is a retired bus-driver and army vetran but despite his leaning towards military precision in all things, he never loses his sense of fun. With an eye for the ladies, he's not ready to settle into the cosy world of old age. Gramps is a gambler and will run a book on any subject. He lived at a old people’s home and often visited his family during Christmas holidays. However, when his best friend died at the Old people’s home, Grampa Bill felt lonely and wanted to move in with his family. It was left up to young Josh and Fletch who helped Grampa out of Old people’s home and moved him into the Ashworth household. With much dispute between Suzanne and Neville, they decided to let Grampa Bill stay after the kids received a pay off from Grampa in convincing their parents to let him stay. He has a penchant for gambling. He is a widower. Often Grampa made a mess around the house, which left Suzanne frustrated but Grampa decided to give something back to the family in exchange for letting him stay. When Neville was sacked from work, Grampa gave him his inheritance which helped Neville to but Drive and Buy. Also, the children received their inheritance as well, which is tied up into the family business.
