it's so funny to me seeing people being continually surprised about the whole "carole ann ford wanted susan to have a crush on ian" factoid because she brings it up constantly. it's because she had a crush on william russell. which she also never stops bringing up completely unprompted all the time. like nobody is asking but she just feels compelled to go "well i thought he was just the most gorgeous guy" any time his name is ever mentioned, which i find hilarious
