Editing Suddenly Susan (section)

==Synopsis==
Susan Keane ([[Brooke Shields]]) has always been taken care of by someone else. She worked as a copy editor at ''The Gate'', a fictional [[San Francisco]] magazine. On her wedding day, she realizes that she and her wealthy, vain fiancé, Kip, are not meant for each other and that there is more to life than just being known as the "s" in "The Kip Richmonds." She abruptly leaves him at the altar. Now, she's suddenly just Susan. Susan's parents (guest stars [[Swoosie Kurtz]] and [[Ray Baker (actor)|Ray Baker]]) were less than ecstatic about their daughter deciding to end her engagement to Kip, though her grandmother and confidant, Nana ([[Barbara Barrie]]), stands as a pillar of support for Susan.

The day after the wedding, Susan goes to her boss, Jack Richmond ([[Judd Nelson]]), the rebellious brother of Susan's former fiancé, Kip, begging for her job back. Instead, Jack assigns Susan to write a regular column about being suddenly single. Susan's coworkers include photographer Luis Rivera ([[Néstor Carbonell]]), boyish rock music reporter Todd Stites ([[David Strickland]]), restaurant critic Vicki Groener ([[Kathy Griffin]]), and, in later episodes, investigative reporter and Susan's old enemy Maddy Piper ([[Andrea Bendewald|Andréa Bendewald]]).

In the show's final season, ''The Gate'' is taken over by Ian Maxtone-Graham ([[Eric Idle]]) and overhauled into a men's magazine that is run out of an old warehouse in [[Chinatown, San Francisco|Chinatown]]. Along with this, Ian brings his own team of workers, including executive assistant and [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy]] veteran Miranda Charles ([[Sherri Shepherd]]), sportswriter Nate Knaborski ([[Currie Graham]]), and [[freelancer]] photographer Oliver Browne ([[Rob Estes]]). Susan is faced with a new set of problems and has to prove herself all over again.

Besides the task of putting together a magazine and focusing on the lead character's life, ''Suddenly Susan'' also focuses on the private lives of many employees in the show.
