Susan Mayer is the name of a fictional character on the ABC television series Desperate Housewives. The character is played by actress Teri Hatcher.

History

Susan is a divorcée and single mother who is an illustrator for children's books. Susan was in a relationship with Mike Delfino, neighborhood plumber for a brief period of time. However, they have still remained friends. After a difficult break-up with Karl Mayer, her ex-husband, she suffers from depression for a long time and is essentially cared for by her daughter, Julie. She sees Mike as an opportunity to find a better life than the one she is living.

Susan is naturally inquisitive and is perhaps the driving force behind the housewives' efforts to discover the truth about Mary Alice Young. She is particularly suspicious of Paul Young. She dislikes Zach Young and worries about the threat he poses to her daughter, describing him as "rampage crazy" (whilst admitting that she herself is "adorable crazy"). Susan is also a neighborhood gossip and busy-body as she hires a private investigator to uncover the dark secrets of the Youngs and Mike Delfino. She also has a long-running competitiveness with Edie Britt. She discovers that she is the result of her mother's one night stand with the owner of a feed store. When she attempts to make contact with him and tell him who she is, he has a heart attack but survives. She temporarily lived in Bree Van De Kamp's House after her house burned down. However, she is now living in a temporary trailer.
