I've cleared my calendar next Sunday night, ready for the one-two punch of "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers & Sisters." Both have major gay storyline developments and it's all so much for me that I have to do this in separate posts or I'll faint.
(OK, a little dramatic but it IS exciting!)
OK ladies of Wisteria Lane, there's a coupla new hotties in town to rival Mike (James Denton) in the studsvile department - particularly tall, dark and handsome Tuc Watkins. He and Kevin Rahm play Bob and Lee and they move into the Applewhite house between Susan and Gabby.
"They've escaped the big city at Bob's insistence so it's kind of a 'Green Acres' thing," Watkins says in the new TV Guide. "Bob loves the suburbs, Lee's a bitch and hates it."
Things get off to a bumpy start as the couple squares off against Susan (Teri Hatcher) over the fountain they've put on their front lawn. All the neighbors hate it and it also leads to a power struggle between Lynette (Felicity Huffman) and Katherine (Dana Delaney) over who will run the homeowner's association.

To try and make friends with their neighbors, Bob and Lee throw a Halloween party but, Watkins explains, it backfires: "We invite some of our friends from the city, and not only do they humiliate us, they incriminate us." TV Guide writes that there is buzz that one of the men may have been involved in...(gasp!)...pornography! Imagine Bree's reaction?
"C'mon, this is 'Desperate Housewives.' I don't think you're allowed on the show unless you're hiding something," Rahm says.
While Watkins is best known as David Vickers on "One Life to Live" and played a gay television executive for two seasons on Showtimes late, great series "Beggars and Choosers," Rahm is best known for his work on "Judging Amy."
Says Rahm: "Rumor is, they were wooing David Beckham and Robbie Williams, and that made a lot of actors want these roles."
