Interviews

Desperate Housewives spoiler alert!

For those that have yet to watch last night's season six premiere, stop reading now... unless you wish to learn who Mike chose to marry.

Following a summer of questions, the series immediately answered one of its biggest fifth season cliffhangers this week: Mike married Susan. But this was actually not creator Marc Cherry's first plan.

“I originally was going to have Mike marry Katherine, but as I went out into the world on vacation and just started talking to people they were so determined that Mike and Susan should get together; they were so insistent on it," he told Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, adding:

"So I started to think, ‘What if I went that way.’ And it occurred to me that it might be a more effective way to go as opposed to frustrating the fans for another year by keeping Mike and Susan apart. The fans demanded it in a voice so loud I kind of was scared to go against them.”

As for how this decision will affect the show, Cherry talked about both Katherine and the newly weds.

Attention, Desperate Housewives viewers:

Jesse Metcalfe is coming back to the show this season, and his character will pick up right where he left off.

Despite having been gone from Wisteria Lane for close to a decade (according to show time), Metcalfe told TV Guide Magazine that fans can expect more flirting between his character of John Rowland and Gabrielle Solis.

“I think there’s always a possibility for that to transpire. It’s a flame that has been dying hard,” he said.

During his two-episode stint - which begins in mid-October - Gabby won't be the only member of the Solid household with whom John gets involved.

“There’s a new little love triangle brewing, and Gabby’s niece is involved in said love triangle,” he said, adding: “It’s not as lecherous as it might sound. You just have to tune in and see where it goes.”

Not to worry, Jesse: we will.

Earlier today, Desperate Housewives fans met the Bolens. Led by Drea de Matteo, this family moves into Wisertia Lane on the sixth season premiere.

Now, viewers can get to know Maiara Walsh, the gorgeous young actress that has been named a new series regular. She plays Carlos and Gaby's troubled niece, Ana Solis.

"She is a bit of a wild child. She and Gaby butt heads and will continue to butt heads," Walsh said of her character in a new interview. "She's been bounced around from relative to relative. Her mom is in prison and she hasn't seen her dad since she was 3, so she definitely has some issues. She's decided that she is going to make things happen for herself and she'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. I think one of the reasons she and Gaby butt heads so much is because they're so similar."

As for how Ana fits into season six storylines, the actress said:

"Ana is going to continue testing Gaby's patience by acting up and misbehaving. In the first episode she has this really funny scene with Gaby in a club and she does something she's never done before... I can't tell you what it is, but it's really funny. She's a young girl who likes boys, so I think there will be some love mysteries and triangles."

New episodes of Desperate Housewives start back up on September 27.

When recently asked about her new Desperate Housewives role, Drea de Matteo didn't have a lot to say.

But co-star Dana Delany (Katherine) spilled a bit about the character of Angie Bolen during an interview with E! News. The actress said of de Matteo's new persona:

"She's such a mystery; we don't really know who she is yet. She started out very friendly and is starting to show her strength."

Will these housewives welcome a new neighbor with open arms this fall? Tune in. Find out.

As Desperate Housewives know, Andrea Bowen is coming back to Wisteria Lane this fall.

The 19-year old actress, who portrays Susan's daughter Julie, spoke to TV Guide Magazine about her exciting return to the show that made her famous. Here are a few excerpts from the interview:

On character changes: "I’m not the same character who left. I come back a different person. Julie has gone through a lot and comes back... different. She’s not the same girl everyone watched grow up."

On Julie's upcoming storyline: "I have a lot of interaction with [Drea de Matteo's] Italian family.

On Julie's older boyfriend: "I don’t believe he’s back. She’s alone. I come back with a story line completely independent of that. And I think it’s independent of Susan. She’ll still have a prominent relationship with her mother, but this year I get a lot of my own storylines that are just strictly for Julie."
