I say let Andrew Van de Kamp choose his own dates! The next episode of "Desperate Housewives" does not air until Jan. 6 (its last original episode of the season unless the strike is resolved) and it will be a post-tornado one.

Bree's home was demolished in the Wisteria Lane tornado and she's trying to get a gay contractor who is much in-demand to move her house to the head of the line. So what does she do? She uses her cute gay son Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom) as bait!

I don't know how things go but the contractor (played by J.C. Mackenzie) seems a bit too old for Andrew. However, he is not too old for me!
