Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm, Desperate Housewives
Two gay guys are about to shake up Wisteria Lane, but it's not their sexuality that's the issue — it's their bad taste in art! On October 21, Desperate Housewives (Sundays at 9 pm/ET, ABC) will introduce newbie neighbors Bob and Lee — played by Tuc Watkins (One Life to Live) and Kevin Rahm (Judging Amy) — and they'll quickly get tiffy with Susan (Teri Hatcher).
"Susan is so desperate to be nice, she puts her foot in her mouth and pisses them off," reveals creator Marc Cherry. "She

Get ready for some Desperate Housepartners. According to AfterElton.com, a gay couple will move to Wisteria Lane around Episode 5. "We're going to have the first male desperate housewives," show creator and head writer Marc Cherry told the website. "They will move into the old Applewhite house, and one of the gay men will just have a fractious, hateful relationship with Teri Hatcher."Cherry said he’ll draw from his own life for inspiration. “Susan (Hatcher) wants to be so politically correct and show how open-minded she is [that] she puts her foot in her mouth instantly and it goes downhill from there,” Cherry said. “I'm basing it a little bit on my relationship with my neighbors.” The only thing still up in the air is who will play the new characters. “We just started writing the episodes," Cherry said. "So I probably won't start casting for another few weeks." — Reporting by Ali Gazan

James Denton and Teri Hatcher by Ron Tom/ABC
The Wisteria Lane Welcome Wagon has moved way beyond a greeting and a coffee cake. In fact, for Desperate Housewife Teri Hatcher, her first scene with new cast member Nathan Fillion proved to be an unusually warm introduction."Often you'll hear actors say that there's the oddity of meeting someone and the next thing you know you're doing a kissing scene. Ours was, 'Hi, nice to meet you. My feet are going to be up in stirrups and you need to stick your head [between my legs]. Welcome to Desperate Housewives,' Hatcher told TV Guide at the ABC All-Star Party July 26 in Beverly Hills.Fillion, who joins the cast as a dashing young gynecologist, will be moving into Mike’s house with Dana Delany, who plays his wife, and according to James Denton, there is something dark and twisty about the new neighbors. “Something really dark happened in that house and that’s why they have to move back. We don’t know what it is, but I can’t wait to find out.”For Denton, the ...

Teri Hatcher by Ron Tom/ABC
You can have your chiffon this and Swarovski that: This is what I look for in a celebrity wedding. Teri Hatcher came off as Desperate for flashbulbs as she arrived for Eva Longoria's Saturday wedding to Tony Parker. As the celeb-filled shuttle bus pulled up to a walkway affording its passengers a private entrance into the Parisian church, "Felicity [Huffman] and Nicollette [Sheridan] walked in, hand in hand, but Teri took her daughter [to] the public area to pose for photos... for 10 minutes," one witness tells the New York Daily News. "It was so strange!" notes another spy. "Everyone else was so excited to be going into the church for the wedding, and all of a sudden, Teri broke away from the group to make sure she was seen and photographed."Perhaps shedding light on the spectacle, an ABC set-sider tells the News, "Teri never joins in the fun" with the other Housewives "and often runs late for scenes." Runs late? I guess we know one cast Isaiah won't be joining.

Well, they said the final scene would be a shocker, and they were right. I am speechless. You know how much I love my Edie. Would it be too much to ask to have Carlos heroically and miraculously walk in during the very first scene this fall and save her? I do not want this show to go on without Nicollette Sheridan. Yes, Edie is not one of the four main housewives, but the show would not be the same without her. Soap operas have had people hang themselves and be saved at the last minute. Until I get a confirmation, I'm going to spend this entire summer believing Edie is not dead. Just call me DID — "Dave In Denial."Except for that ending, I was very happy with this season's finale episode. I thought it had the perfect Desperate Housewives blend of drama and comedy. I expected to be satisfied after seeing that departing coexecutive producer Joe Keenan was one of the writers (along with talented fellow coexec producer Kevin Murphy). Besides having the same job title for all those ...

Admit it — you got a little teary-eyed like I did at the end when Lynette was told the bad news that she might have lymphoma. And what did it for me was Tom slowly grabbing Lynette's hand and holding it, after she had tried the same thing with him (before the news), and he had rejected her hand. That scene between Felicity Huffman and Doug Savant with Lynette and Tom fighting in bed, the one that led them to get Lynette to the hospital, was a prime example of two actors at their very best. Lynette finally admitting to Tom that she did indeed have feelings for Rick (but "nothing happened") was such a powerful scene by itself — then the cancer scare. I was a mess. You could tell how desperate Tom was getting earlier, sneaking in a marriage counselor (William Ragsdale) to talk with Lynette in a very "ambush therapy" kind of way. Lynette was not about to let Herman's Head get into her head.Speaking of messes, thankfully Susan and Mike cleaned up the possible mess of dueling we...

I just knew that Victor Lang (John Slattery) was going to turn out to be a bad guy. He seemed too perfect. But didn't you think his mean streak came out of nowhere? He acted as though Gabrielle had never done a stupid thing before with the way he yelled at her. Yes, Gaby jumped in his arms like a child when it looked as though he was going to win the mayoral race. Yes, Gaby can be a "high maintenance nightmare," as brilliantly described by Vern (Alec Mapa). And yes, Gaby got arrested for her shenanigans with the cop (Brendan Patrick Connor), ripping up the parking tickets since she thought it was acceptable behavior for the new "First Lady of Fairview." But did Victor have to yell at her like an abusive father to a daughter? You knew as soon as he saw the bruise on her wrist caused by the cop that Victor was going to have something done to the guy. Enter the two thugs, beating up the cop. But Gaby's going ahead with the wedding. Let's see if she indeed says "I do" in two weeks.Kudos...

Seems as though just about all of the housewives were having feelings for two men tonight. Susan had to choose between Ian and Mike; Gabrielle was dealing with her jealous feelings about Carlos while celebrating her engagement to Victor; and Lynette was further flirting innocently with Rick, much to the suspicions of Tom. For the first time ever, Edie was the only housewife devoting her attention to just one man. Nice change of pace for an episode that focused on the subject of gossip.First off, can we all agree that we're happy our dear Mrs. McCluskey was released from jail and finally told everyone what she secretly revealed to just Parker last week? I don't think any of us wanted her to be a murderer. Mrs. McC's explanation that she came home and found her husband dead on the couch with the remote still in his hand made perfect sense when she added that she discovered his pension plan had not been changed to make her the beneficiary (silly Gilbert forgot to switch it from his fir...

I love it when the DH writers give us those moments that involve a murder or a mystery and only one character is told the story behind the murder or the solution to the mystery, but we as viewers don't hear it and are left wondering. In this case, little Parker Scavo was told by Mrs. McCluskey exactly why her dead husband is inside her freezer, but he was sworn to secrecy. I assumed Ida Greenberg would be the one to first discover the secret (after seeing last week's coming attractions), but I didn't expect one of the Scavo boys to be the very first discoverer. Parker's look of utter shock was perfect (kudos to Zane Huett for being a super little actor). One of the funniest parts was at the hospital when Parker first told Mrs. McCluskey about his encounter while they were alone. Mrs. M: "Don't tell your brothers — you were always my favorite." Parker: "I saw the man in your freezer." Mrs. M (shouting): "Lynette! Can you go get me some green jello?" So when Ida was the second pe...
