Constance Grady is a fictional character from the ABC series Ugly Betty. She is played by actress Octavia Spencer.

[edit] Background

Constance is an investigator for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, determining if Ignacio Suarez is eligible to remain in the United States. Initially she is hostile to Ignacio, but after he gives her a gift (a mug with the words "World's Best Immigration Caseworker" painted on it) she softens toward him. She begins to act inappropriately, showing up unannounced to cook meals for Ignacio. Her former boyfriend (a taxi driver who is also an immigrant), in response to Ignacio's calling him, tells Ignacio that Constance has a history of seducing her clients, using her power over them to make them comply with her desires.

However, her constant obsession with Ignacio would reach the boiling point when she suspected Claire Meade of trying to steal Ignacio, even after learning from Hilda that he was a ladies' man. After the two fight it out, Ignacio set the record straight that he wasn't in love with neither Claire or Constance. Constance in turn responds by placing a ankle bracelet on him so she can monitor Ignacio's every move until his hearing.
