#31: Emma Caulfield as Susan Keats
When Emma Caulfield showed up as Susan Keats, she didn’t play a typical 90210 love interest. Smart, ambitious, and unapologetically independent, Susan wasn’t there to chase attention — she challenged Brandon, often outsmarting him, and gave their relationship an edge the show hadn’t seen before.

Caulfield played Susan with a quiet confidence that made her instantly believable as a driven journalist. She didn’t just exist in Brandon’s orbit — she had her own goals, her own mind. For a show that often revolved around glamour, Susan brought a touch of grounded realism.
