Susan Mayer
Susan Delfino (née Bremmer, formerly Mayer) is a fictional character played by Teri Hatcher on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) television series ''Desperate Housewives''. The character was created by television producer and screenwriter Marc Cherry. She first appeared in the pilot episode of the series on October 3, 2004,〔(''Desperate Housewives'' Episode: "Pilot Episode" ). ''TV Guide''. Retrieved December 24, 2009.〕 and appeared in every episode until the series finale on May 13, 2012.〔(''Desperate Housewives'' Episode: "Finishing the Hat" ). ''TV Guide''. Retrieved June 24, 2012.〕 Susan resides on the fictional Wisteria Lane in Fairview, Eagle State, the primary setting of the show. One of four lead characters, Susan is characterized as being a "notoriously clumsy" romantic with a "magnetic charm."〔("Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher): Official Character Biography" ). ABC. Retrieved May 15, 2010.〕 Her storylines tend to focus on her romantic relationships, most notably with Mike Delfino (James Denton), whom she marries twice in the series.
Cherry originally created Susan as a girl next door archetype and intended for the character to provide an emotional anchor for the series. When developing the character, Cherry drew upon his personal experiences as well as those of single women in his life. The role was originally written for Mary-Louise Parker, who turned it down; as a result, Hatcher was cast in early 2004. Hatcher's portrayal of the character is both comedic and vulnerable. During the series' debut season, both the character and Hatcher's performance received positive critical reception; however, as the series has progressed, the character has been received less favorably by critics and fans. Hatcher has received both a Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance in the series.
==Development and casting==
While developing the series, ''Desperate Housewives'' creator Marc Cherry envisioned Susan as a girl next door and chose her to convey this image.〔(ABC.com's "Ask ''Desperate Housewives'': Season 5, Part 3" ). YouTube. February 21, 2009. Retrieved December 21, 2009.〕 In the original pilot, the character's surname was spelled "Meyer" but had to be changed to "Mayer" for clearance purposes.〔Touchstone Television, p. 175〕 Cherry commented, "I knew Susan was going to be my anchor character, and I didn't really know my take on her at first. And then it occurred to me that one of these women should be divorced ... I thought there was something so real about a woman saying, 'I don't have much time left,' and when this available hunky guy moves onto the street, something in her saying 'Let me at him'".〔Touchstone Television, p. 15〕 The character is a compendium of single mothers in Cherry's life "desperate to land a man".〔("''Desperate Housewives'' Creator Marc Cherry's Inspirations" ). TV.com. Retrieved December 21, 2009.〕 He also drew upon his own personal experiences while creating the character.〔Lyford, Kathy (September 28, 2008).

Julia Louis-Dreyfus expressed interest in the role, but ABC executives felt she was not right for the part.〔Sassone, Bob (May 4, 2006). ("Desperate Networks is a must-read for TV fans" ).

After a second audition, Hatcher read for the role in front of network executives. Cherry praised her performance, saying "it was the best audition I've ever seen in network".〔 Hatcher later commented, "I don't think they were hot to hire me for Susan ... I was maybe on a B-list, certainly not an A-list".〔("Teri Hatcher wants to grow old with ''Desperate Housewives''" ). ''Herald Sun''. March 24, 2010.
