Ask questions about one topic per thread, and use a descriptive subject. "NotImplemented error in script.rpy" is a good subject, "Tom's problems" is not. Remember to include all of traceback.txt or error.txt when reporting a problem, as well as the relevant lines of script. Use the [code] tag to format scripts.

I've read this: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displaying_images.html but I still don't really understand, how come my character isn't displaying with the following code:

show su1 p1
show su1 eyebrows normal
show su1 eyes normal
show su1 mouth happy
show su1 blush bath

show blink full

Do I need to edit config.layers? If so how do I do this? Sry I'm a total noob, learning as I go along, so help is very much appreciated :)

it's because the first word in the name of all your images is the same

the show statement checks for pics with the same tag (first word) so that the user doesn't have to explicitly hide images when just changing a character's facial expression

My suggestion is that you put an underscore between the first two words in your images' names. that way renpy will know that they aren't supposed to disappear unless you tell it to show the same facial feature twice.

Perfect, thanks for explaining it to me! :)
Is there a command to hide all images (excluding the scene)?
What transition would u recommend for switching between poses/expressions?

*EDIT* Also, is there a way to temporarily suspend the blink animation everytime supper-happy eyes are used?
