12 years ago, the world saw the last episode of ABC’s iconic dramedy series, the mysterious Desperate Housewives, which concluded after 8 seasons and made big stars of its actors. The main show’s housewife was obviously Susan Mayer, the notoriously clumsy “girl next door”, always ending up in trouble and, of course, in love.
However, since 2012 there has been little news regarding the Susan actress, Teri Hatcher, who has really laid low since the finale of Desperate Housewives. In fact, Hatcher did participate in a number of the titles that truly deserve our attention.
Not Just Desperate Housewives
Her first recurring live-action role since Dh was the one in the sitcom The Odd Couple (2015 - 2017), where she played Charlotte, a love interest of Matthew Perry’s Oscar. This series continued the trend of her career, as her character, a single mother in her 40s, was really reminiscent of Susan Mayer there.

Desperate Housewives delivered no shortage of drama, both on and off the screen. The soapy ABC series was known both for its juicy plotlines and feuds among the cast. The on-set tension even extended to those who weren’t in front of the camera, according to writer Patty Lin, who worked on the show in its first season.

Lin was a seasoned television writer who’d previously worked on Freaks and Geeks and Friends when she landed a job on the “darkly funny” Desperate Housewives in the spring of 2004. Hollywood was buzzing about the show, which had been created by Marc Cherry. Lin accepted the gig without a second thought, despite some early “warning signs,” she recalls in her new memoir, End Credits: How I Broke Up With Hollywood.

Happy sigh. Familiar faces, long walks on the beach, drinks with umbrellas, poetry, a death-defying game show. Fantasy Island Season 2 Episode 3 is a romantic, funny, and satisfying do-over for our Susan Mayer and Mike Delfino.
Of course, they aren't Susan and Mike here. But that doesn't stop our collective hearts from conflating the two relationships and giving the tragic Wisteria Lane couple a happily ever after, after all.
Meanwhile, the tables get turned -- hell, they're totally upended -- when Ruby tries to connect with Helene as a twenty-something only to have Helene call her on her seventy-five-year-old sensibilities. Also: Mermaid Sighting.
Nostalgia is such a quirky thing. Hatcher and Denton portrayed a couple who lived, loved, committed crimes, and married each other twice in the span of eight seasons, only to end in murder and mourning.
The Paymers, in contrast, married at eighteen after a whirlwind courtship and raised...

It will be a Desperate Housewives reunion on Hallmark Channel. Two former stars of the ABC drama, James Denton and Teri Hatcher, will headline A Kiss Before Christmas, a holiday movie that will premiere during the cable channel’s annual Countdown to Christmas programming event.
It is the first time the pair has worked together since Desperate Housewives ended in 2012. Their characters had an on-again, off-again relationship in that series.
Marilu Henner co-stars, and Denton also executive produces.
In A Kiss Before Christmas, real estate development executive Ethan Holt (Denton) is a married father with two teens. On Christmas Eve, he is disappointed to learn he’s losing out on a promotion and laments that his “nice guy” way of doing business has held him back in his career.

Was it a comedy? Was it a drama? Was it a soap opera? Let’s celebrate the 15th anniversary of the classic TV series “Desperate Housewives”!
In the Fall of 2004, creator Marc Cherry introduced us to the residents of Wisteria Lane. “Dh” begins with the mysterious suicide of resident Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong), and her group of friends wondering how they could not know their close friend was so desperate.

Through flashbacks and a five-year flash forward between seasons four and five, we follow the nearly 20-year friendship and adventures of Mary Alice’s poker buddies: klutzy divorcee with a heart of gold Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher) and her pursuit of the perfect mate; control-freak, frazzled wife and mother of four (later five) Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) and her efforts to...

Eva Longoria still believes “Desperate Housewives” may have been TV’s “perfect pilot.”
“It has everything, it sets up everything,” Longoria told Variety‘s “My Favorite Podcast.” “It’s super balanced in its storytelling. It was beautiful, it was stylized, it was stylistic and was so unique.”
Longoria credits creator Marc Cherry, who spent years developing and pitching “Desperate Housewives,” and pilot director Charles McDougall for creating a show that made a splash right out of the gate. For her, the “Desperate Housewives” pilot was a masterclass in how to create and launch a TV show, and she says she still uses what she learned from that experience as a producer launching her own shows.
“I always reference back to the ‘Desperate Housewives’ pilot for many things when I’m directing,” Longoria said. “There are so many iconic things that happened in the pilot.”

It's been years since Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, and Felicity Huffman co-starred on Desperate Housewives together, but the trio is still super close friends today. In a new interview, Eva — who is pregnant with her first baby — gushed Marcia and Felicity have already given her invaluable mom advice. "Oh, my gosh, Marcia and Felicity have given me advice. We talk a lot. They’re always supportive and amazing moms," the 42-year-old actress recently told Us Weekly. Eva is thankful for her friends' tips, especially since she's admitted she's "not an expert" about her impending motherhood. Though Eva is preparing to be a first-time mother, Marcia, 55, is a mom to 11-year-old twins Eden and Savannah Mahoney with her husband Tom Mahoney and Felicity, also 55, has two daughters, Sofia, 17, and Georgia, 15, with her husband, William H.

She's ready to head down Wisteria Lane again! In a new interview, Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher opened up about doing a reboot of the hit show — and revealed she's on board for it. "I’d be the first person [to return]," she told ITV's Loose Women. "I never wanted it to be over. I love those characters." Teri played Susan Mayer on the series from 2004 until 2012. She co-starred alongside Eva Longoria (Gabrielle Solis), Felicity Huffman (Lynette Scavo), Marcia Cross (Bre Van de Camp), and Nicollette Sheridan (Edie Britt). (Photo Credit: Getty Images) However, she noted that the chances of a revival are "not very good." She explained, "Just because of the creators. It's not the women. I think the women would probably all do it." There were rumors in the past that Teri was feuding with her cast members, so she took this interview as an opportunity to address the talk.
