All My Children
All My Children ran for four decades before it was cancelled by the network in 2011. In 2019, Susan told Yahoo! Entertainment that "there was a lot of anger" over the decision at the time.
"It was really a period of mourning because we went through all of those stages – the anger, the denial, the sadness, the missing of each other," she explained.

In June 2024, the star opened up to HELLO! About her favourite beauty rituals. She shared: "I start the day with coffee, and drink hot water and lemon afterwards all day through! My diet is basically the Mediterranean diet, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and fish! Lastly, I do a Pilates workout almost every morning!"
