Gay couple debuting on “Desperate Housewives”
Never say that “Desperate Housewives” and producer Marc Cherry aren’t progressive thinkers! I’ve just heard news that we will see the first gay couple (non-teenaged, of course, for those who remember) on the show this fall. According to Cherry, “We’re going to have the first male desperate housewives. They will move into the old Applewhite house and one of the gay men will just have a fractious, hateful relationship with Teri Hatcher. We just started writing the episodes so I probably won’t start casting for another few weeks.” Apparently the idea for this storyline is somewhat autobiographical from Cherry’s own experiences in the suburbs so I will definitely be interested to see where they go with all this. This brings to mind a question though: Which one of the new couple will be the desperate housewife? Or will they both be? Neither? Inquiring minds want to know!
