Character history[]

Series 1[]

During series one, when not trying to organize her three children, Sue can be found trying to deal with her very demanding boss. Sue is a part time PA. It seems that Veronica (her boss) always phones or emails at the least suitable time but, for some reason, even when it is supposed to be her 'day off', Sue is too polite to tell her to go away. However, near the end of series one Sue resigns. also they are in debt

Series 2[]

Tyson is Sue's new boss in series two. When Sue becomes more and more complimentary of him, Pete becomes jealous. Sue finds out about Pete's 'Googling' and defends Tyson, ignoring the warnings that Pete gives her. This proves to be unwise when it is revealed Tyson is a fake business leader.

Series 3[]

We start to see a more manipulative Sue in this series. She plays mind games with her husband, pretending to forgive him around their children, only to throw his adultery back at him when the children have left the room, when he kissed another woman at the pub. But she eventually forgave him.

Series 4[]

In this series we find that Sue laughs as an affect of grief (as stated by Pete on the topic: "Grief affects people in different ways"), we see her struggle between telling the school about drugs or not, once told by Ben a boy in Jake's class has skunk (thought to be dope) to sell, we see Sue take a leading roll in disciplining Jake when she finds out he has a 19 year old girlfriend (later shown to actually be 16; see Victoria) and we see an affectionate side towards her sister, Angela, towards the end of this series, despite showing hostility earlier in the series. Series 5 Christmas Special 2016 Sue has now broken her leg.

Trivia[]

  • She once left one of her children behind on a Scottish island. This child was possibly Ben, given his reputation.
  • Pete's best man Clive once made a pass at Sue, during Pete's birthday.
  • When Angela and Sue were younger, they visited a Greek island. Apparently, Angela had a relationship with a local waiter, whose one-legged, overweight brother would follow Sue around the island.
