Desperate Housewives Gay Couple is Cast

Wisteria Lane’s gay couple is set to move in.

TV Guide reports:

“Desperate Housewives has tapped One Life to Live‘s Tuc Watkins and ex-Judging Amy actor Kevin Rahm to play Wisteria Lane’s first gay couple. Watkins will play Bob, described as a country mouse who leaves the big city for greener (and quieter) pastures. Rahm is his bitchy partner, Lee. Both roles are of the recurring variety. Interestingly, the characters’ names are a tribute to ABC News’ Bob Woodruff and his wife Lee, whom series creator Marc Cherry befriended last spring.”

So much for pipe dream stunt casting!
