Your place for all things Wisteria Lane, and of course its 2.5 gay characters (one might still be a bisexual, the rest of the season will tell)...

Okay, I'm gonna out myself as a fan. I like the show. I miss evil!Andrew. I do expect that he will keep being around. Isn't he the head writer's alter-ego?
I'm not that bugged with the gay couple not getting more to do. I think it was kinda to be expected. It's called Desperate Housewives after all, so, it makes sense to me that they can't really give too much screentime to male characters, particularly when they aren't directly involved with the housewives. The only alternative would be to make them evil (the other way to get screentime), obviously another thing they don't want to do.
I still hope that they'll keep them around rather than just writing them off because they can't come up with a storyline for them.

I have to say, I've never watched this show and everytime I think about doing it, I see a photo of Eva Longoria Parker and I am turned off.

I don't mind them not having heavy screentime, but I was hoping they would be more than just generic catty, unpleasant queens.
I don't think any of the gay characters on this show have been especially worth praise. Andrew is nothing more than a plot device, and even worse, his sexuality is a plot device. They only play up his being gay when he torments Bree, or when Bree needs him for something. There was also too much of an implication for me that her being a bad mother somehow made him gay, or that his being gay was part of his being evil.
Marc Cherry said he wanted to have Andrew in a story with a woman, because that would show what some gay men do to themselves, or whatever. He said that last spring. It hasn't happened yet, but I wouldn't be surprised. The Steven Carrington route is all that seems to be left for Andrew.
It doesn't help that Shawn Pyfrom has made his unhappy feelings about playing a gay character known to the press a number of times.

I don't know if there are any QAF (US) fans here but I just had to share this: Gale Harold will be on Desperate Housewives!I'm a huge fan of him but unfortunately I've only watched DH up to the beginning of S2. Seems like I have a lot of catching-up to do until May 18. ;D |

People's mention that Shawn Pyfrom (Andrew) is going from full-time to guest appearance status in the coming season of Desperate Housewives: tvwatch.people.com/2009/07/28/shawn-pyfrom-leaving-desperate-housewives/(It didn't seem to me like I saw him on-screen enough for him to still be full-time. I assumed he was already on guest appearances status last season). |

I was hoping yummy Ryan Carnes might come back eventually, but I guess that wasn't likely.

I stopped watching this series early in season two. Now that I've seen and liked Tuc Watkins on OLTL, I might be tempted to give it another shot, except that it sounds like he doesn't get enough airtime to make it worthwhile.
More importantly, it sounds like the main characters have gone off in directions I wouldn't care for. One of the things I liked about first season was they avoided the cliche of the women fighting each other over men (except Edie, who was orginally a minor character who existed as a spoiler), but it sounds like they've been man-hopping the last couple of years. Whatev.

So I LOVE this show!!! But I did wish in a way that the story was cover more like, well obviously not in ever season as that's just not Desperate Housewives, but it would have been nice to have more of Bob and Lee. and Definitely WAY more of Andrew and his husband. Like that affair for example!!! or maybe actually see how his marriage failed. But I really like how Bree came to terms with him. And he will be on next week!!! I haven't missed one single show since the beginning of the series, and I like it even more when either of the gay characters are on. Now with GCB being like a second "Desperate Housewives" I could definitely look forward to this as Blake is one of the main characters.

This may not be true. It's from a spoiler site. It's about Andrew's return to the show. I hope it's wrong or fake because if it's true my heart might break :-(
8-18 "Any Moment" March 25
Highlight below to read
Andrew's engaged to be married, but Bree is unsure about her son's future spouse, especially since he's marrying . . . a woman named Mary Beth (Ashley Morris)!

Yes, that sadly is very true HQ75.
I saw the promo for it right after the episode ended on TV since I watch the series every sunday and here it is.
DON'T WATCH IF YOU THINK PROMOS ARE SPOILERS
