DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
The series began with Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) leaving her perfect
house, in the loveliest of suburbs, and ending it all. Now she takes us into
the lives of her family, friends and neighbors, commenting from her elevated
P.O.V.
Her circle of girlfriends on Wisteria Lane
includes Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher),
the divorcee and single mom who will go to extraordinary lengths for love;
Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman),
who struggles with balancing the complications of work and family issues; Bree
Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross) -- Martha
Stewart on steroids -- who battles the demons of widowhood, alcoholism and
vengeful children; Gabrielle Solis (Eva
Longoria), the ex-model with everything she has ever wanted - a rich
husband, a big house -- everything that is, but a good marriage; and serial
divorcee Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan),
the free spirited real estate maven whose love life has everyone buzzing.
Then there are the men: Mike Delfino (James Denton), a plumber who is the
on-again/off- again love of Susan's life; Lynette's adorable husband, Tom (Doug Savant), who, it's turning out,
has his own share of secrets, and Gabrielle's estranged husband, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira). Joining the
group is Bree's husband, Orson Hodge (Kyle
MacLachlan); the charming Ian Kavanaugh (Dougray Scott), a new love interest for Susan; and Austin Britt
(Josh Henderson), Edie's 17-year-old nephew, who shares his aunt's knack for
stirring up trouble.
From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees
more now than she ever did alive, and she's planning to share all the delicious
secrets that hide behind every neighbor's closed door in this seemingly perfect
American suburb.
