Summary:
On a sunny day, in the heart of America, the loveliest of suburbs, housewife Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) kills herself. Now she takes us into the lives of her friends, family and neighbors... Her circle of girlfriends on Wisteria Lane includes Bree Hodge (Marcia Cross), Martha Stewart on steroids, who battles the demons of alcoholism and vengeful children...and now a new husband with a mysterious past to go with it all; Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), who struggles with balancing the complications of work and family issues; Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), the divorcee and single mom who will go to extraordinary lengths for love; Gabrielle Solis, the divorced ex-model with a big house...and doesn't know what to do now; 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, Gabrielle's estranged husband, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira), Mary Alice¡¯s widowed husband, Paul (Mark Moses), who is in prison for the murder of a neighbor. Joining the group are Bree's new husband, Orson Hodge (Kyle MacLachlan) who ran Mike over and put him in a coma and Austin Britt (Josh Henderson), Edie's barely legal 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. ¡°Desperate Housewives¡± stars Marcia Cross as Bree Van De Kamp, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Eva Longoria as Gabrielle Solis, Nicollette Sheridan as Edie Britt, Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young, Ricardo Antonio Chavira as Carlos Solis, James Denton as Mike Delfino, Doug Savant as Tom Scavo, Mark Moses as Paul Young, Steven |
