Susie Essman hoping for 'Curb' affair

Susie Essman has revealed that she wants her Curb Your Enthusiasm character to have an affair.

The actress told Zap2It that she would love her character Susie to get back at Jeff (Jeff Garlin) and joked that she could begin a relationship with someone who is into "S&M".

"You know how last season Jeff was cheating on me?" she said. "I think it's time for Susie to have an affair.

"I think it's time for Susie to be cheating on Jeff... I think it's time for Susie to spread her wings and give it back a little."

Essman added that fans often ask her to swear at them, explaining: "I had a way for people to contact me [on my website] and I got all these real sicko emails from, like, sado-masochistic guys who just wanted me to scream and yell at them. It got creepy, and I took off any kind of contact, because it was getting creepy.

"I'm acting. That's not how I act in real life. And I'm at the produce section buying, you know, cantaloupe, and they ask me to tell them to go f**k themselves."

Curb Your Enthusiasm was recently renewed for an eighth season.
