Greg is devoid of personality. He travels up and down the country with his receding hairline doing z list ads and staying in premier inns. He should have remained a bit more exclusive and tied to his sport so he could capitalise on the well paying sports work but both him and Susan were desperate to be on tv at all costs. Remember that weird show they did where they went to France and took the kids out of school for a week to go look at a lake?
Can’t forget that. She made a huge song and dance about taking the kid out of school for cultural experiences and would not be a slave to the archaic education system, she knew best for her child, blah blah blah...
And it was for a job. A cheap TV job that they only actually appeared in 6 shots for. And because she wouldn’t do anything on her own with the boys, they seemingly spent 3 days knocking around the hotel.
I’ve always found this weird difference between the online character she portrayed, ‘confident mummy blogger with aspirational lifestyle’, juxtaposed with the reality that was in fact a young woman, lacking in life experiences, independence and any actual social life.
‘Small town Susie Verrill the racist’, isn’t a personality she left behind, it’s one that’s been hidden by the online persona she cultivated.
