Seinfeld: All Posthumous Susan Ross References

I’d actually love to see an alternative version where she signs the prenup, they get married, and George becomes the multi-billionaire he always pretended he’d become but he realizes he has to make the marriage work otherwise he’ll lose the fortune he was just handed, because let’s face it, the marriage would never have worked.

George could have sued the envelope company or their insurance and probably get filthy rich.

[@ChkthDeats]

I feel bad for all Susan put up with but I never felt bad for her parents. They were such a callous, loveless, rich couple cliche that George's antics mainly exposed their issues rather than caused them. He was like a wildfire burning through dead wood, and Susan was the only lush spot in the forest.

[@lordalessan]

I need a source on this lol Jason Alexander said in an interview that he didn't want to work with the actress anymore because their comedic timing didn't match. Julia LD agreed and was the one to give the idea of her death. Jason had to apologize on Twitter for his comments. My friend also met Heidi Swedberg and he was warned not to ask her about the show.

[@lonelyheroine]

@@lordalessan I don't have a written source---I saw that interview on TV. You are quite correct about what you said about Jason and Julia. She actually said to Larry, "Let's kill her." lol She just didn't fit in to their kind of comedy. But Heidi really liked the idea of her being snuffed.

[@DavidJameson89]

So, the main cast didn't think Heidi was a good fit and was happy she was leaving the show, and Heidi was happy that she was leaving the show. Seems like a win for all involved.

[@briansilva3765]

@@lordalessan They not having chemistry in a comedy show seems like a reasonable reason for not wanting to work together anymore. People really blow things out of proportion if he had to apologize for something like that.

[@pronkb000]

@@lordalessan But that just doesn't make any sense--Heidi and Jason had chemistry good enough that Susan was repeatedly brought back, more than any other girlfriend in the series, and that was *before* the engagement storyline came up. And I don't know how the engagement storyline ends in any other way. Heidi was never going to be a 5th regular or even a Newman-type regular and they weren't going to actually have George get married, yet it was also established over the course of the season that escape was impossible for George. Susan wasn't going to break off the wedding for any reason. Death was the only way out.

Did the Ross' actually have a legal means of forcing George to work for the foundation? Or is it just that if George declined it would be akin to admitting his relationship with the woman he killed was bogus and he just doesn't want to have to endure that awkward conversation?

Guess you don't know the real reason as to why they got rid of her? Jason didn't like the chemistry of her acting, and it wasn't until Jerry and Julia had to do scenes with her. Is when they all agreed that she wasn't a good fit for the show

[@stevielagan1948]

Jason Alexander has come out and actively refuted that story.

[@redacted2275]

​@@stevielagan1948"[Jason] Alexander stressed that he likes [Heidi] Swedberg personally, but that *he 'couldn’t figure out how to play off of her.* Her instincts for doing a scene, where the comedy was, and mine were always misfiring. And she would do something, and I would go, ‘OK, I see what she’s going to do - I’m going to adjust to her.’ And I’d adjust, and then it would change.' *So one day Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played Elaine, joked about killing Susan on the show.* And Larry David, the show’s creator, decided to do just that. Susan met her demise licking toxic wedding invitation envelopes." (Time, Jun 4 15)

Seinfeld really wrote themselves into a corner with Susan. It was the one storyline that never really found its footing. And it turned George from a selfish bafoon into a really nasty evil person. it was often hard to watch. some of it was still funny but damn.

[@nba_fanboy_0425]

He was made that way since the busboy episode in season two, unfortunately.

[@Minolla]

It's because the actor that was playing George said that he didn't have any comic chemistry with the actress, so Seinfeld did the logical thing and fired her. However, I wished they didn't kill her off like that and rather that they broke up(again).
