Suzanne seems to have struck out in all her marriages.

Warning: Spoilers
Before Gerald McCraney was cast as Suzanne's favorite ex-husband Dash Goff, Gregg Henry appeared in a single episode as another ex husband, Jack Dent. He has a single appearance as an Atlanta Braves baseball player who has written a tell-all that reveals all of his affairs during his marriage to Suzanne. As the book has not yet been published, Suzanne, getting an advanced copy, is humiliated and shows up at the Braves locker room to confront him, resulting in a very funny scene where she embarrasses him in front of his fellow players. But Jack has got a few surprises for her, showing that while the marriage was far from perfect, there was romance and passion.

Never seen but heard several times, an unidentified actress provides the voice of Suzanne's housekeeper Consuela. It's too bad that the voice didn't become a recurring gag like the neighbor on "Home Improvement" as these bits are very funny, and obviously inspired housekeeper Rosario on "Will & Grace", ironic since Karen Walker was obviously inspired by Suzanne. The single appearance by Henry gives a little insight into the character qualities that Suzanne hides behind her insecure egomania, especially when she learns what inspired him to write the book which actually does give a romantic finale to the episode.
