Johnny Briggs disproved of the storyline that saw his character (Mike Baldwin) marry Susan as he thought it would tie his character down. He also did not get on with Walker and was pleased when the relationship broke up. The Daily Mirror's Charlie Catchpole described Susan as the "hapless" wife and daughter of Mike and Ken. He commented on her 2001 recast saying "I don't know why either of them believed a word she said, since Susan had been blonde and blue-eyed, and this impostor had black hair and brown eyes." Catchpole added that Susan's off screen death was one of the soap world's cruelest exits.
