Susanna Dawson

Susanna Dawson is a British actress who portrayed Gill Fowler in EastEnders from 1991 to 1992.

Susanna was only in EastEnders for a year, but in that time she made her mark in the public eye, playing AIDS patient Gill Fowler. Following the screening of the episode of Gill's death which was watched by 20 million people, Sue inundated with letters from fans. She was so stunned by the reaction that she decided to use her notoriety as Gill to promote AIDS awareness, hoping to reach the ignorant people who had mixed fact and fiction and had abused her in the street when she was on screen. Susanna wrote a book, specifically for kids, called Gill and Mark, EastEnders' Great Love Story, and produced the accompanying video.
