Episode Recap: "If There's Anything I Can't Stand"The biggest news of the episode was not the arrival of Bob and Lee — life partners (no, Susan, not business partners) who moved into the Applewhites' home. No, it was the deepening Mayfair mystery. Aunt Lily wasn't long for this world once she moved back in with them. We witnessed Katherine's quickly dissolved bedside manner when Aunt Lily expressed a deep desire to tell Dylan what "happened in this room." So, it appears Aunt Lily conspired with Katherine Mayfair to do something in that bedroom (with the gash in the wood floor) that at her life's end she deemed a mistake that shouldn't have been covered up and kept from Dylan. Sadly, Lily didn't get the chance to tell Dylan why she doesn't remember living on Wisteria Lane — or did she? Lily's final desperate act was great drama (and Bach helped): In her final wheezing moments, she scribbled something on a piece of paper at her bedside, folded it several times, and as she to...

by Michael LoganTwo 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)...read more

What's the meaning of that gash in the floor of the locked room in the Mayfair house? Perhaps we'll find out this week, but the full Mayfair mystery looks like it's going to be an all-season tease. On the other hand, Danielle Van De Kamp is eight-and-a-half months pregnant, so Bree's charade could end by November sweeps, as could the Edie-Carlos “engagement,” if what Carlos told Gaby is true. But the big story this episode is a new arrival: Wisteria Lane's first gay couple (Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm). They're moving into the Applewhites' old house and, we're told their taste in art will make waves. — Paul Droesch

Question: For a long time, I have been boycotting Desperate Housewives. I find the whole premise of the show annoying and I'm just not intrigued by any of the characters. Yet after learning that the very talented Tuc Watkins and Nathan Fillion will be regulars this season, I am considering tuning in. I've enjoyed Tuc for years on One Life to Live as David Vickers. I always treasured the hilarious scenes he had with Robin Strasser as Dorian. Same with Nathan Fillion. He was also on One Life to Live years ago as Joey Buchanan, a role he recently reprised for the show's 10,000th episode, and I loved him on Joss Whedon's Firefly and in his guest appearance on Lost. And let's not forget his role in Waitress, one of my favorite films this summer. It's obvious Housewives is trying to bring in new audiences — Fillion still has a huge following from Firefly and Tuc Watkins from OLTL. I was wondering if you think fans might be receptive or turned off by their new roles?
Answer: First off, you're
