Who is Susan Wright in Broadchurch?

The woman in the caravan the town wants gone · The Town

Susan Wright (The woman in the caravan the town wants gone) is a character in Broadchurch, part of The Town. Susan Wright lives in the caravan park with a dog and a hostility the town returns with interest — the suspect everyone is comfortable suspecting, because she's poor, blunt and new. What Susan actually carries is the series' bleakest backstory: a husband's crimes, a family destroyed by them, a name changed to survive the headlines, and a son she watches from a distance. Broadchurch uses her as its mirror for the mob: the town's kindness has a postcode.
