[edit] Accuracy and bias

A reasonable attempt but this article needs fleshing out and the inaccuracies and biases removing. Alex, for example, is not bisexual and describing him as "the obligatory gay character" shows bias when Sasha could just as easily have been described as "the obligatory black character". There is far more to both characters than their sexuality and ethnicity. --81.151.252.33 14:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sooz's real name

I'm not convinced that Suzanne is Sooz's real name. There is much evidence to suggest that her real name is Susan. In a flashback showing a young Sooz jumping on her bed while playing loud music in series 1, episode 2 her father yells "Susan!" in exasperation. In series 4, episode 6 Sooz loses her artistic inspiration and questions herself and who she is. At one point she refers to herself as "Susan - grown up art student." Later in the same episode her classmate Fran calls her Susan, much to Sooz's disgust, "Yeuch! And when did I become 'Susan'? Who's 'Susan'? I don't like 'Susan'," which further suggests that Susan is indeed the name her parents gave her and against which she is rebelling. At the end of the same episode a much happier, more confident Sooz comments "So, I figured it out. I'm not a 'Susan', I'm Sooz. It's just that Sooz has moved on a bit... grown. But essentially I'm still the same." --81.151.252.33 15:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Thing is, IMDB claims it is Suzanne: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275821/fullcredits --advance512 14:35, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Character summaries

We should seperate the character summaries from any plot details, and create a 'season by season' plot-line section. --advance512 15:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
