Suzanne Ashworth (née Dick) was the estranged wife of Neville Ashworth, and mother of Rhys, Hannah and Josh Ashworth, and Frankie and JJ Osborne.
The Ashworth family moved to Hollyoaks from Manchester in September 2005, moving into the Hunter family's former home. Neville owned a chain of Price Slice stores in Chester, and Suzanne soon began working as a nurse at the local hospital. On top of dealing with the troubles her children kept getting themselves in, Suzanne also had to deal with Neville's father Bill repeatedly trying to leave the care home and move in with the Ashworths.
However, the Ashworths' peaceful family live was shattered by a series of family problems: Neville's dying brother Noel revealed that he was Rhys's biological father, Hannah suffered from anorexia and nearly died, Rhys discovered that his girlfriend Beth Clements was actually his half-sister, and Suzanne's nephew Fletch became addicted to heroin. Noel later died, Hannah recovered in hospital, Beth was killed in a crash, and Fletch disappeared, and the Ashworths ended up purchasing The Dog in the Pond.
Running the pub bonded the family together until Hannah left for pastures anew in February 2010. Later that month, Josh crashed his car and was arrested for drink-driving. As Neville turned on Josh and Suzanne tried to support him, the pair's marriage was placed under strain and Suzanne began an affair with Hannah's estranged husband Darren Osborne. Eventually, Suzanne and Neville reconciled and moved to Spain with Josh, discovering that Rhys had spiked his drink.
In January 2011, Suzanne returned heavily pregnant and revealed that Darren was the father of her twins. She gave birth to a boy and a girl during the grand opening of Look Sharpe, and Darren later named the twins Jack and Francine Junior. Suzanne later returned to Spain after being offered £200,000 by Cindy Cunningham, where she reconciled with Neville. She briefly returned for Rhys's funeral in December 2012.
