Desperate Housewives’ First Gay Couple

One Life to Live actor Tuc Watkins and ex-Judging Amy star Kevin Rahm have been cast as Desperate Housewives first gay couple!

According to TVGuide, “Watkins will play Bob, described as a country mouse who leaves the big city for greener (and quieter) pastures. Rahm is his bitchy partner, Lee. Both roles are of the recurring variety. The characters’ names are a tribute to ABC News’ Bob Woodruff and his wife Lee, whom series creator Marc Cherry befriended last spring.”

The Desperate Housewives season premiere airs Sunday, Sept. 30@ 9PM ET/PT on ABC.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Wisteria Lane’s first gay neighbors?

I have watched every show. It is pitiful that the gay agenda has to leak into everything. I for one will no longer watch the show if that is were it is headed.

Whatever… where is the Andrew story line? HE needs to have a fulltime, every episode boyfriend. Bring back Andrew and Justin…

Well to tell you the truth,

They’re both ugly!

They need hotter guys. =D I mean after all, it is Wisteria Lane =D.

Dante’s Cove guys would’ve been hotter.

I can’t watch DH anymore - I’ve tolerated all the other imoral stuff because I like the cast and think they are funny but is there absolutely nothing for moral people to watch? Why do gay people have to be accepted in everything. They will be welcomed enough in hell.

Bailey,

oh yes. the adultery, the suicide, the out of wedlock forication which leads to NOT a marriage, the hitman hiring, people bearing false witness left and right, using God’s name in vain, children that disrespect their mothers and fathers…

You can tolerate all this…but not the gays.

you’re one of those christians we normal people would like to take a chainsaw and shove it through your stomach. You are NOT my brother/sister in Christ, who loves everybody regardless of who they are.

NOW **** off you imbecile and go with your immoral ways.
