I think she's fine as Susan, but I never had that much investment in Susan.  I always thought Susan was borderline obnoxious with both ED and SH.  Is Susan disturbed, slow, mentally incompetent, or just a little wacky?  Who knows?  We will just trot Susan out, much like Hattie, for comic relief and plot points.  I guess I just don't see the point of making SH Kristen when she basically plays random Dimera sibling #10.  It would have the same effect since they don't play on 99% of Kristen's history on the show.  But if they wanted to make Susan an actual character I would have no problem with SH playing her.

Again, exactly how I feel. You say it so much better! I'm still working on my coffee hahaha 

 

I agree Susan can be annoying. I do think SH could play her as an actual character. She does a good job, right on par with Eileen. Her Kristen is just too different.

Lol!  No worries!  I am a morning person.

 

I think there might actually be more story to tell with Susan that SH could play.  There is a darkness to Susan that was never truly explored (her kidnapping Marlena/Kristen, her sudden John obsession in 97, the Will/EJ stuff).  But everyone in town sorta eye rolls her ridiculousness and moves on.  I think at this point Kristen is so played out I would "kill" her off and keep Susan and bring Kristen back if ED ever wants to return and just keep both actresses. 

But I don't need Susan at all if she going to have a few episodes where she says "Dr. Marlena Evans is my bestest friend or Kristen is mean, mean, mean."  That nonsense was tired in 1998.

The issue with SH as Kristen is she’s so damn shrill when she’s emotional. I don’t mind her in family scenes with the DiMera’s and I thought she was very likeable in the time jump flashbacks. But they have her so emotional all of the time it gets old. There’s not a lot of layers to her Kristen. And as someone mentioned, her entire history has seemingly been swept under the rug now.
