When was she too much of a crybaby? And why is it a cliché, exactly, I don't understand?

And if anything, the story around Mike's death and its repercussions has been seldom balanced, considering how Susan has been behaving rather composedly. She never truly broke into an outburst of tears following his death. Her pain and frustration have been properly handled by both the writing team and the amazingly natural-acting Teri Hatcher, not being too extravagant, and not being too tame either. Considering how melodramatic the character has always been, this whole ordeal reveals a completely new side to her. For the first time in her life the drama that's fell on her is so overwhelmingly painful she can't be a crybaby about it. It hurts too much to even breathe. And that's what she's letting on.

Mike the boyfriend in a coma doesn't compare to Mike the husband shot and killed before her.
