When asked about her favourite part of the show, Bray said:
“My favorite episode of Sue Thomas is the pilot (the first episode) because many of the scenes shot were from the real Sue Thomas’s life and really happened:
“The dog jumping in the bathtub to let Sue know someone is knocking on the door; Being lost in class while the teacher teaches and the kids making fun of her.
“Her ice-skating experience [and the death of her friend], Her journey working with the FBI from a tedious fingerprinting job to becoming part of the surveillance team.
