Suzanne Shaw addressed her late father’s passing in 2012 on Vanessa Feltz’s 5 talk show this week about inheritance.
A former Emmerdale cast member has shared that they are estranged from some of their family following a “divide” over inheritance. The actor said this week that the apparent situation following the death of their father is “sad”.
Suzanne Shaw, now 43 – who played Eve Jenson on the ITV soap opera – lost her late father Vincent Crowshaw, who was 62, back in 2012. Vincent died just months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier that same year.
After ten years, Suzanne, who became famous as a member of the group Hear ‘Say, has claimed that she inherited “nothing” from him after his passing. She suggested that her step-mother received the majority of the inheritance.
Suzanne mentioned her late father whilst a guest on 5’s Vanessa yesterday afternoon. It came during a discussion, led by host Vanessa Feltz, 63, over whether children should receive the same inheritance in the case of a parent dying.
Vanessa explained to her audience throughout the segment that she knows of people who were “passed over” in a will. She claimed that it was because their siblings weren’t perceived as financially “set up for life,” but rather because they were.
Vanessa said, “It’s not that they really needed the money, but they did.” In a statement about those who didn’t receive the inheritance. Much more of the experience was that of being slapped in the face. a sense of being “given a blow from the grave,” in some ways.
Suzanne, who previously said that “communication is essential” and that “communication before it all happens” responded to host Vanessa by saying, “I went through it myself.” She continued, “My dad passed away very sadly.”
Then, she explained that her father had reconciled with Janet Kish, her mother, and that he had already died. A divided family, according to Suzanne. He got married again.
Suzanne continued, “My brother received some money, but his business was not what he received. The remainder was supposed to be distributed equally among my stepmum, but then she received all of it. She has since remarried. She has had no access to the family’s affairs. None of it helped me in any way. I am aware of how it feels.
Suzanne responded with a statement about how it feels. It’s like getting a slap in the face, she said. You seem to have been forgotten about in that circumstance. So, yes, I am aware of how it feels. It’s hard”.
Suzanne continued, “But what it causes is divide, and y’know we don’t no longer speak to those people who were a big part of our lives, and that’s sad. But it’s now estranged from some of her family.” That is already depressing. Therefore, I believe communication is essential in this circumstance.
Monday through Monday, from noon until midnight, Vanessa airs.
