The actress said to Inside Soap: "I'm so excited! The character has been in Holby for a long time, but she has never been the main attention of the stories.
"There is something coming up where you will see her at the centre of the drama, though. Mary-Claire fans won't be disappointed."
Speaking about Mary-Claire's casual fling with doctor Harry Tressler, McGrady added: "She has always had a weak spot for him.
"If he were to turn around and offer her commitment she would take it, but she isn't sure how he feels and is trying to protect herself. There is definitely potential there."
