I think Susan was cursed with being over-shadowed by other more interesting arcs that kickstarted the show including the slow burn romance between her brother Bill and Missy, plus her cousin Pat's angst.
While her original arc was grieving the death of her father, feeling alienated from her over-bearing mother, and at a crossroads.. it made sense that the only solution for her character was to take a job in a different state and start her life over a few months into the show.
Coming back to the show in 1969, wasn't she coming back just as Bill/Missy had finally gotten together and were about to leave town? If so, it sounded like she was going to take the place as the latest Matthews child to clash with Liz.
