Wonder'
We are all of us, each in our own way, whether living on a farm, in a trailer or a palace, Desperate Housewives. This is the simplest explanation for the wonderful frothy phenomenon of ABC's hit series, which became an instant cultural touchstone when it premiered last October. There's vulnerable, open-hearted Susan Mayer... brittle, sorrowful Bree Van de Kamp, with her ruined dreams of perfection... that naughty, good-natured vamp Edie Britt—yes, we all find something that touches us, amuses us as we watch these ladies trying to find love and contentment while unraveling the mysteries of Wisteria Lane. No less than Laura Bush realized that she was a Desperate First Lady—at least that was her famous joke for a Washington press corps dinner last spring. She described a Sunday at home, with W out for the night by 9 p.m. and Lynne Cheney her only company in watching Housewives. "I mean, if those women on that show think they're desperate," she said, "they oughta be with George."
Well, it turned out that she hadn't seen the show, but some 24 million other Americans turned it into ritual viewing, and it's currently airing in more than 25 countries. (The show is so integral to the lineup, ABC even skipped its traditional Easter replay of The Ten Commandments, many of which are broken on Housewives anyway.) For once, to say we live in Desperate times is a good thing. Wives provided meaty roles for actresses who are mostly in their 40s, showed that a clever, innovative drama could work against the onslaught of reality TV, that audiences could "get" a show that was dramatic and funny and sad. In the end, we wouldn't choose to be Happy Husbands for all the green-carpeted lawns in the world. —Tom Gliatto

THE MAN BEHIND THE SCENES A Hollywood native with a Broadway background, production designer Thomas Walsh adds wow to Wisteria Lane
Reality was the furthest thing f rom Thomas Walsh's mind when
he set about imagining his fantasy neighborhood. Describing the
setting as "a pink state on the edge of denial." he says, "we're
trying to celebrate convent ion." A background in
theatrical and cinematic set design prepared him
for the task of creating homes for the show's
wild array of characters. His guiding principle?
"It's a clean, graphic, slightly glossy version
of the suburbs," he says. "We're rooted in
Eisenhower America. What could be so bad
that's so nice?" Then came the hard part.
Since a new show is never a guaranteed hit,
Walsh was given a tiny budget, and with it
cobbled together the sets using furnishings from
a back lot. Here, he talks about how the neighbors'
personalities inf luenced their home styles.
Bree: "She is the midwestern version of Martha
Stewart, far more practical and economical
and very tradit ional in her values."
Gabriel le and Carlos: "They are the most Mediterranean, but
they've moved into a traditional neighborhood, so they're
trying to be part of the community. My thought was always that
their interior decorator took them to the cleaners—
and they wanted to go."
Lynette: "She's that Scandinavian, hardworking,
ail-American stock, but she's the professional
who decided to embrace homemaking."
Susan: "She is the most artistic, so we went
wi th a more eclectic feel for her."
Mike: "He's the lone cowboy who rode into
town. He is the character in The Searchers."
Edie: "Last year we treated her as more the
street slut, so we were less tasteful wi th her
house. She really does have a pretty good heart,
so she's get t ing her dream house now.
We're being a litt le nicer to her in terms of
get t ing her all that insurance money to spend
with some direct ion."
Wisteria Lane trivia: The photo of Mrs. McCluskey's "dead son" on her mantel is really that of Walsh's very-
much-alive 12-year-old son Nico.
Photographs by LARSEN & TALBERT
Work starts wi th "•a scale model of
Wisteria Lane.
Walsh collects images on a "mood board" to serve as inspiration for each character.
"We're not k trying to be ^ L trendy,"
^ y s Walsh.

BURNING QUESTIONS The cliffhangers, the dead bodies piling up! As fans ponder plotlines, we offer a few hints . . .
Is Mike Zachs father? "I would prefer that Zach weren't my kid only because of the possibilities it leaves open for Mike being single and a little less t ied down," says James Denton. "But I honestly don't know what's happening this year."
Who killed Rex? Is he really dead? Will we see him in flashbacks? Sure, George was tamper ing with Rex's heart medicat ion, but was Bree in cahoots? Rex seems to have thought so just before he expired. He is indeed gone, but don't discount the flashback factor. After all, says producer Kevin Murphy, "we have the hardest-working dead people in show business."
What's in store for Andrew? Still mad at Mom for sending him to an obedience camp—even though she covered for his having hit Carlos's mother wi th his car, put t ing Mama Solis into a coma— Bree's t roubled, remorseless son Andrew will "mess
with his mom terribly this year," says creator Marc Cherry. He'll also clash with George as George and Bree grow closer.
Who is the father of Gabrielle s baby? Will the new arrival look like jai led husband Carlos or hunky gardener John? Or will there be a baby at all? Everyone's keeping mum.
Will George be back? What will happen with him and Bree? Roger Bart, who plays pharmacist George, has been upgraded to series regular f rom guest star, says creator Marc Cherry, so look for h im in "virtually every episode" this season as his and Bree's relationship develops.
Is Kelly Monaco joining the show? Anyth ing to the rumor that the General Hospital actress and winner of Dancing with the Stars would be joining the cast? Says show spokeswoman Janet Daily: "Definitely, TOO percent untrue." One mystery solved.

Ten HATCHER
Stardom is sweeter the second time around, thanks to a few hard knocks and a certain 7-year-old sidekick who keeps it all in perspective
Since single mom Teri Hatcher began playing single mom Susan Mayer, people have tended to assume that she and her character are on the same page. Not so. "I guess we're similar in terms of insecurity and low self-esteem," she admits. "But we're just totally different moms." Unlike Susan (whose lapses in judgment include asking her daughter Julie to fake being bulimic and having her break into Mrs. Huber's house to retrieve evidence), Hatcher, 40, is fiercely responsible when it comes to her 7-year-old daughter Emerson. "The one thing that I never feel insecure about is the way I parent," she said recently. Even during a painful 2003 divorce from actor Jon Tenney, which accompanied a dry spell in Hatcher's career, the actress made sure that "I was able to put food on the table and pay my mortgage," she
says. "I'm a very conservative person. I drive my cars for 10 years until they have 100,000 miles on them. To me, feeling comfortable means having way more than I need in the bank."
Thanks to Housewives, Hatcher is now well within her comfort zone. She's writing a book, Burnt Toast, about getting a second chance. "It's not a tell-all," she says, "but it's going to be about what's happened to me in the last year." She wants it to be a "book you can read in the bathtub and feel a little inspired by and humored by." During the summer, Hatcher packed up Emerson for a "life-changing" safari in Africa. "I don't spend my money on sports cars or new million-dollar houses," she says. "But being able to go on the trip of a lifetime is pretty special. Emerson is the greatest traveler on the planet."

Bree Van de Kamp
Marcia CROSS
A trained psychotherapist, she's as self-aware and easygoing as her character is repressed and primly determined
Before she began shooting the series' second season in July, Marcia Cross had hoped to get in some housekeeping. "I said I was going to clean out all my closets over the break, and that hasn't happened," she says. "I got a little done, but there are still piles everywhere." Cross's character, the tightly wound Bree Van de Kamp, would have gotten those closets organized. But the actress didn't have much free time between press trips to Europe to help promote the show and a whirlwind romance with wealth manager Tom Mahoney.
Before Housewives, the actress was at a career crossroads. She had long been interested in psychology and decided to go for a master's in the subject at Antioch University in Los Angeles. After earning her degree in 2002, she worked as a therapist. "I quite loved it," she says. "It's
a rewarding profession." Still, in 2003 the Juilliard-trained Cross signed up for a half-season stint on The WB's Ever-wood, and before long she found herself shooting the pilot for Housewives.
Is she the show's on-set shrink? "Everyone isn't running to me for therapy all day long," she says. "I certainly am very aware of feelings. But I go to them too. It's not a oneway street."
Along with the show's success, Cross, 43, has been savoring her recent engagement to Mahoney, 47—she loves his "integrity and humor." During her Melrose Place years, she says, "I wasn't a very happy person. I had a lover [actor Richard Jordan] who died. This is a much happier time. It's really special to have someone wonderful to share it with."

occasion, says Cross (l ike the M o n t e

She favors twin-sets in rich,

Gabrielle Solis
Eva LONGORIA
Might mom-to-be Gabrielle be turning domestic? If so, the actress brings plenty of firsthand expertise
A regular at the neighborhood grocery store, Eva Longoria swipes her Ralphs Club card at checkout on a hot summer day, stocking up for company. "I'm shopping for dinner," she says. "I've had guests all week, so I've been trying to keep them fed. Everybody comes over for my Mexican food. I love to cook." She doesn't mind cleaning either, but she hired a housekeeper recently after moving into a new three-bedroom home. "I've done my own housework my entire life," she says. "I had a two-bedroom and I was like, 'If I can't handle a two-bedroom, my mom didn't raise me right.' Now my house is so much bigger and my hours are just crazy." At 30, the youngest Housewife packs a lot into her life. In July she wrapped The Sentinel with Michael Doug
las and Kiefer Sutherland, then flew to China to spend time at NBA camp with her boyfriend, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs. Returning to the set in August, Longoria kicked off Season 2 with an unscripted bit of drama: A falling pole gave her a nasty blow to the head that sent her to the hospital. Though she bounced back quickly, Longoria suffered another shock when she saw that Gabrielle's house "has a kitchen," she says. "So it looks like she'll attempt to cook!" As for her character's unwelcome pregnancy, Longoria says a recent wardrobe fitting didn't include maternity clothes. But, she adds, viewers should "expect the unexpected." jjgfg

Felicity HUFFMAN The most serious actress of the bunch is having a blast enjoying
a taste of mass popularity: "It's like lightning in a bottle*' Looking for proof that the women really do get along off-set? Recently, says Felicity Huffman, "Marcia came over for dinner, and Marcia, Eva and I hooked up for tea." Huffman has also been to "Teri's unbelievable parties. She's just so amazing at throwing them."
Huffman, 42, the mother of Sofia Grace, 5, and Georgia, 3, with husband William H. Macy, 55, is particularly pleased with her part on the show. "I never found a role in television that reflected my experience with motherhood," she says. "They didn't touch upon the madness and the loss and the craziness and the pain of motherhood. I was happy to portray that since I under
stood it." She admits that she was "frightened of having children because of everything I've said—it takes over your whole life. But it's the exact thing that has given me a wonderful opportunity."
Soon, moviegoers will see Huffman in a different light. She stars in Transamerica as a man in the process of becoming a woman, a role for which she won best actress at April's Tribeca Film Festival. What can't she play? When she auditioned for Housewives, she says, the show's "characters were so well-written, I thought, 'I'd like to play any of them.' Except, of course, the Latina supermodel, although I was willing to give that a shot as well!"

Nicollette SHERIDAN What are her turn-ons? Housework, horses and a husband-to-be Nicollette Sheridan will soon join the ranks of housewives. Engaged to Swedish actor Niklas Soderblom since December, she says that she is looking forward to hunkering down on a "ranch so I can have my horses and my dogs and get my hands dirty every day. I love home. I cook. I have the house very clean. I'm actually much more like Bree."
In fact, Sheridan originally auditioned for the repressed Bree, not the sexpot she ended up playing. "I had this beautiful Chloe jacket over a backless vest with a plunging neckline," says the 41-year-old actress. When the director then asked her to read for Edie, "I whipped off my jacket and said, 'Let's go.' They were all laughing and falling off their chairs. Basically I left with the part." This season Edie takes up with Susan's ex, and Sheridan is ready. "It's like the two faces of Nicollette," she says. "By the time I finish with hair and makeup, I am Edie."

WOODARD Can't wait to learn what newcomer Betty Applewhite's dark side is all about? Neither can Woodard
As the newest Housewife on the block, acclaimed actress Alfre Woodard is relishing her role as a woman on the verge. "I think people might watch and say, 'Oh my God, did you see Alfre Woodard? What a bitch!' That's fun to do," says the Oscar-nominated actress (1983's Cross Creek), who also has four Emmys and a Golden Globe. A scene she shares with Bree (Marcia Cross) in this season's premiere "is one of the most outrageous moments ever on TV," Woodard, 52, adds. "I didn't know whether to giggle or be just horrified."
Unlike cold fish Betty Applewhite, who keeps people at arm's length, Woodard says that she's a warm, genial "total homemaker" who loves throwing huge dinner parties at the L.A. house she shares with writer-director husband Roderick Spencer, 47, and their two kids, Mavis, 14, and Duncan, 11. Still, for a self-described southern girl (from Oklahoma) who was "bred away from anything remotely like having my own real temperament," Woodard embraces alter ego Applewhite. "I get to act up and nobody gets hurt. Nobody says I'm ruthless or uncouth."

How They Stay
IN SHAPE Exotic-dance classes, horseback riding,
ordering up turkey with pickles! The actresses have their own ways of keeping fit
TERI HATCHER DIET: Though celebrity bloggers like to question what—if anything—the whippet-thin actress eats, Hatcher insists she indulges in "a lot of fattening food," including wine, tequila and chocolate-in moderation. More often, however, she fuels up on plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. "I kind of eat what I want," she told Diane Sawyer. "Then I'll watch it for a couple of days. But I eat healthy."
FITNESS: How does a woman who hates the gym stay in shape? If you're Teri Hatcher, you join the S Factor, Sheila Kelley's sexy dance class in L.A. Sessions entail an hour of stretches followed by 30 minutes of pole dancing (think slinky stripper moves like the "cat crawl"). "Teri really took to what we're teaching women," says Kelley, "to get in touch with the natural curves of their bodies."
MARCIA CROSS
DIET: "If I feel like I'm putting on weight, I cut down on bread," says Cross, who mainly eats salads and protein but allows herself treats like frozen yogurt and animal crackers. "Nix the bread and you'll feel results." On-set, the caterers fix her turkey slices and pickles—"a little protein to keep me going." FITNESS: Cross likes to mix it up: walking, hiking, going to the gym and doing yoga. "I'm not a regimented person in general," she says. "But I think exercise is really important for the body and mind."

Please see additional information on the Following page.
Cosmetic Botulinum Toxin Type A
BOTOX" COSMETIC (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin Complex
INDICATIONS AND USAGE BOTOX* COSMETIC is indicated (or the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients < 66 years of age.
CONTRAINDICATIONS BOTOX' COSMETIC is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and m individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation.
WARNINGS BOTOX' and BOTOX' COSMETIC contain the same active ingredient in the same formulation. Therefore, adverse events observed with the use of BOTOX* also have the potential to be associated with the use of BOTOX' COSMETIC
Do not exceed the recommended dosage and frequency of administration of BOTOX' COSMETIC. Risks resulting from administration at higher dosages are not known.
Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been rarely reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, urticana, soft tissue edema, and dyspnea. One fatal case of anaphylaxis for another indication has been reported in which lidocaine was used as the diluent, and consequently the causal agent cannot be reliably determined. If such a reaction occurs further injection of BOTOX* should be discontinued and appropnate medical therapy immediately instituted.
Pre-Existing Neuromuscular Disorders Caution should be exercised when administenng BOTOX* COSMETIC to individuals with peripheral motor neuropathic diseases (e.g.. amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or motor neuropathy) or neuromuscular junctional disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome). Patients with neuromuscular disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant systemic effects including severe dysphagia and respiratory compromise from typical doses of BOTOX' COSMETIC Published medical literature has reported rare cases of administration of a botulinum toxin to patients with known or unrecognized neuromuscular disorders where the patients have shown extreme sensitivity to the systemic effects of typical clinical doses. In some of these cases, dysphagia has lasted several months and required placement of a gastric feeding tube.
Dysphagia Dysphagia is a commonly reported adverse event following treatment of cervical dystonia patients with all botulinum toxins. In these patients, there are reports of rare cases of dysphagia severe enough to warrant the insertion of a gastnc feeding tube. There is also a case report where a patient developed aspiration pneumonia and died subsequent to the finding of dysphagia.
Cardiovascular System There have also been rare reports following administration of BOTOX' of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had nsk factors including pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
Human Albumin This product contains albumin, a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries an extremely remote risk for transmission of viral diseases. A theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) also is considered extremely remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases or CJD have ever been identified for albumin.
PRECAUTIONS The safe and effective use of BOTOX' COSMETIC depends upon proper storage of the product, selection of the correct dose, and proper reconstitution and administration techniques. Physicians administenng BOTOX' COSMETIC must understand the relevant neuromuscular and/or orbital anatomy of the area involved, as well as any alterations to the anatomy due to prior surgical procedures and avoid injection into vulnerable anatomic areas. Caution should be used when BOTOX" COSMETIC treatment is used in the presence of inflammation at the proposed injection site(s) or when excessive weakness or atrophy is present in the target muscle(s).
Reduced blinking from BOTOX' COSMETIC injection of the orbicularis muscle can lead to corneal exposure, persistent epithelial defect and corneal ulceration, especially in patients with VII nerve disorders. In the use of BOTOX' for in the treatment of blepharospasm, one case of corneal perforation in an aphakic eye requinng corneal grafting has occurred because of this effect. Careful testing of corneal sensation in eyes previously operated upon, avoidance of injection into the lower lid area to avoid ectropion, and vigorous treatment of any epithelial defect should be employed. This may require protective drops, ointment, therapeutic soft contact lenses, or closure of the eye by patching or other means.
Inducing paralysis in one or more extraocular muscles may produce spatial disonentation, double vision or past pointing. Covering the affected eye may alleviate these symptoms.
Caution should be used when BOTOX* COSMETIC treatment is used in patients who have an inflammatory skin problem at the injection site, marked facial asymmetry, ptosis, excessive dermatochalasis, deep dermal scarring, thick sebaceous skin or the inability to substantially lessen glabellar lines by physically spreading them apart as these patients were excluded from the Phase 3 safety and efficacy trials.
Needle-related pain and/or anxiety may result in vasovagal responses, (including e.g., syncope, hypotension) which may require appropriate medical therapy.
Injection intervals of BOTOX' COSMETIC should be no more frequent than every three months and should be performed using the lowest effective dose (See Adverse Reactions, Immunogenicity).
Information for Patients Patients or caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical attention if swallowing, speech or respiratory disorders arise.
Drug Interactions Co-administration of BOTOX* COSMETIC and aminoglycosides' or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (e.g., curare-like nondepolarizing blockers, lincosamides, polymyxins, quinidine, magnesium sulfate, anticholinesterases, succinylcholine chloride ) should only be performed with caution as the effect of the toxin may be potentiated.
The effect of administenng different botulinum neurotoxin serotypes at the same time or within several months of each other is unknown. Excessive neuromuscular weakness may be exacerbated by administration of another botulinum toxin prior to the resolution of the effects of a previously administered botulinum toxin.
Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category C Administration of BOTOX* COSMETIC is not recommended dunng pregnancy. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of BOTOX* COSMETIC in pregnant women. When pregnant mice and rats were injected intramuscularly dunng the period of organogenesis, the developmental NOEL (No Observed Effect Level) of BOTOX* COSMETIC was 4 U/kg. Higher doses (8 or 16 U/kg) were associated with reductions in fetal body weights and/or delayed ossification.
In a range finding study in rabbits, daily injection of 0.125 U/kg/day (days 6 to 18 of gestation) and 2 U/kg (days 6 and 13 of gestation) produced severe maternal toxicity, abortions and/or fetal malformations. Higher doses resulted in death of the dams. The rabbit appears to be a very sensitive species to BOTOX* COSMETIC
If the patient becomes pregnant after the administration of this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential risks, including abortion or fetal malformations that have been observed in rabbits.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of fertility Long term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential of BOTOX' COSMETIC.
The reproductive NOEL following intramuscular injection of 0. 4. 8, and 16 U/kg was 4 U/kg in male rats and 8 U/kg in female rats. Higher doses were associated with dose-dependent reductions
in fertility in male rats (where limb weakness resulted in the inability to mate), and testicular atrophy or an altered estrous cycle in female rats. There were no adverse effects on the viability of the embryos.
Nursing mothers: It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when BOTOX* COSMETIC is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric use: Use of BOTOX' COSMETIC is not recommended in children.
Geriatric use The two clinical studies of BOTOX* COSMETIC did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. However, the responder rates appeared to be higher for patients younger than age 65 than for patients 65 years or older. (See: CLINICAL STUDIES)
There were too few patients (N=3) over the age of 75 to allow any meaningful comparisons.
ADVERSE REACTIONS General: BOTOX* and BOTOX* COSMETIC contain the same active ingredient in the same formulation. Therefore, adverse events observed with the use of BOTOX* also have the potential to be associated with the use of BOTOX' COSMETIC
The most serious adverse events reported after treatment with botulinum toxin include rare spontaneous reports of death, sometimes associated with anaphylaxis, dysphagia, pneumonia, and/or other significant debility. There have also been rare reports of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors including pre-existing cardiovascular disease. (See: WARNINGS). New onset or recurrent seizures have also been reported, typically in patients who are predisposed to experiencing these events. The exact relationship of these events to the botulinum toxin injection has not been established. Additionally, a report of acute angle closure glaucoma one day after receiving an injection of botulinum toxin for blepharospasm was received, with recovery four months later after laser iridotomy and trabeculectomy. Focal facial paralysis, syncope and exacerbation of myasthenia gravis have also been reported after treatment of blepharospasm.
In general, adverse events occur within the first week following injection of BOTOX" COSMETIC and while generally transient may have a duration of several months or longer. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, erythema and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection.
Glabellar Lines In clinical tnals of BOTOX* COSMETIC the most frequently reported adverse events following injection of BOTOX" COSMETIC were headache', respiratory infection-, flu syndrome", blepharoptosis and nausea. Less frequently occurring (<3%) adverse reactions included pain in the face, erythema at the injection site', paresthesia' and muscle weakness. While local weakness of the injected muscle(s) is representative of the expected pharmacological action of botulinum toxin, weakness of adjacent muscles may occur as a result of the spread of toxin. These events are thought to be associated with the injection and occurred within the first week. The events were generally transient but may last several months or longer.
(' incidence not different from Placebo)
The data descnbed in Table 4 reflect exposure to BOTOX" COSMETIC in 405 subjects aged 18 to 75 who were evaluated in the randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies to assess the use of BOTOX' COSMETIC in the improvement of the appearance of glabellar lines (See: CLINICAL STUDIES). Adverse events of any cause were reported for 44% of the BOTOX' COSMETIC treated subjects and 42% of the placebo treated subjects. The incidence of blepharoptosis was higher in the BOTOX* COSMETIC treated arm than in placebo (3% vs. 0). In the open-label, repeat injection study, blepharoptosis was reported for 2 % (8/373) of subjects in the first treatment cycle and 1 % (4/343) of subjects in the second treatment cycle. Adverse events of any type were reported for 49% (183/373) of subjects overall. The most frequently reported of these adverse events in the open-label study included respiratory infection, headache, flu syndrome, blepharoptosis, pain and nausea.
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical tnals of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not be predictive of rates observed in practice.

Immunogenicity Treatment with BOTOX" COSMETIC may result in the formation of neutralizing antibodies that may reduce the effectiveness of subsequent treatments with BOTOX" COSMETIC by inactivating the biological activity Of the toxin. The rate of formation of neutralizing antibodies in patients receiving BOTOX* COSMETIC has not been well studied. The critical factors for neutralizing antibody formation have not been well characterized. The results from some studies suggest that botulinum toxin injections at more frequent intervals or at higher doses may lead to greater incidence of antibody formation. The potential for antibody formation may be minimized by injecting the lowest effective dose given at the longest feasible intervals between injections.

The Sexy Plumber
JAMES DENTON
James Denton didn't realize just how high his profile had become until fans actually began showing up in his house. "We didn't have a gate or a fence," he says. "We needed a place where they couldn't walk up to the front door and walk right in." So earlier this year, Denton, 42, packed up his wife, Erin O'Brien, son Sheppard, 2, and daughter Malin, 6 months, and moved to a more secure address. "We like this house a lot better anyway," he says. A practiced handyman (and onetime landlord), Denton says, "I do all the carpentry and basic plumbing and stuff like that. I've built a deck at every house I bought in California."
Now that he's playing the neighborhood stud, though, he has to be careful around power tools. A favorite pastime, shooting baskets, can be just as risky. "I haven't been able to

play lately," he says, "because there's the fear of getting injured or scratched right before I have to work. Last time, I got elbowed in the face, and that can really screw up a day's work." His character's trademark facial scruff is meticulously safeguarded. "I was resistant to it because it had that Don Johnson/George Michael feel of being a little too kept up," he says.
"All it is is four days' worth of growth. So if I'm working on Tuesday, I don't shave after Friday."
After "a career of playing bad guys" on shows like The Pre
tender, Denton takes no credit for his sex-symbol status, attributing it all to Mike Delfino. "If you convince America that Teri Hatcher thinks somebody's hot, they look at him differently," he says. "If I were playing Paul Young, I don't believe the reaction would've been the same."
he Jealous Husband
RICARDO ANTONIO CHAVIRA (Carlos Solis)
"I get a lot of guys who say, 'Dude, thank you for being a guy,'" says Ricardo Chavira. "I guess to some degree my character is the only one that really acts like a guy on the show." He does not mean that as a compliment. "Here you have someone who's very macho, who thinks of himself as being very powerful, very passionate, yet those same things are his downfalls," says Chavira, 34, who admits he carries the macho gene himself. "I can be that guy, and I have been when I was younger,
To some degree my character is the only one that really acts like a guy on the show"
but my son has really toned me down." Son Tomas, 2, lives with his mother near Chavira's family in Texas, where the actor's frequent visits include trips to the beach. It's a marked contrast to the hot-tempered Carlos Solis, who,
as a father, "wouldn't be yelling at his kid at soccer games; he'd be trying to beat the crap out of the coach." But the biggest difference between Ricardo and
Carlos? "I'd never put up with someone like Gabrielle," he says. "I wouldn't even be attracted to her."

The Hot Gardener
JESSE METCALFE
Ifs no picnic being a lust object. Just ask Jesse Metcalfe, who has been shedding his shirt on TV for as long as he can remember. "I've gotten used to it," he says of his bare-chested scenes, which he perfected on Passions for five years before Housewives. "People love the sexy stuff. It's par for the course."
Seems the indignities of being typecast as eye candy are nothing, however, compared with the fallout from sudden fame. "When the first negative pictures came out of me in the tabloids, I took it kind of hard," Metcalfe, 26, admits. "They printed some picture of me picking my nose. It's not like there's any human being on the planet that has never picked their nose. But you don't want it blown up in a magazine." There were also reports that he and actress Tara Reid were an item, which were
The most consistent th ing I hear f rom fans is, 'Oh my God , you're playing my husband!' '
"completely blown out of proportion," he says, adding he's currently unattached and spends most of his downtime playing guitar with his band RPM (Raw Power Moves). "It's a challenge getting to know someone when you might be photographed on the first date."
That said, Metcalfe is quick to note that media exposure also helped him score his first feature, John Tucker Must Die, shot this summer. "They wanted someone in the role that people are going to be excited to see," he says. So is a movie career in his future? Word is, yardman John departs Wisteria Lane in the third episode. Stay tuned.
TheH- ousehusband
DOUG SAVAIvLT ( T o m Scavo)
Amidst the swirl of infidelity and treachery on Wisteria Lane, Doug Savant has a unique function: normal guy. "The most consistent thing I hear from fans is, 'Oh my God, you're playing my husband!' " he says. "Felicity Huffman [his TV wife, Lynette] and I are the couple that most resembles what real people go through—struggling to maintain a marriage and support four kids. I'm not digging up the baby in the backyard."
Like his character, Savant, 41, is the father of four (ages 13,12, 4 and 3 months) but is a "much more strict parent in real life," he says. "My wife [former Melrose Place costar Laura Leighton] is always the levelheaded, easygoing one. I'm the one who stresses out." Having logged his days on house-husband duty during Leighton's acting jobs, Savant gives Tom's domestic
skills a thumbs-down so far. "He doesn't value the same tidiness as Lynette," he says. "He sets the bar a lot lower for himself than she did."
Over 22 years as an actor, Savant has sometimes had to scrape to support his family, working as a pizza delivery-man and in real estate during career slumps. Even his high-profile stint on Melrose Place as a gay social worker left him typecast for several years. That problem is gone now, thanks to scenes like Tom surprising Lynette wearing a leopard-print thong. "I tried to embrace Will Ferrell and go for the comedy, but you can never escape the vanity of wondering, 'Oh God, how bad do I look?' For me, being an actor has been nothing but an exercise in humility. It's all about finding new ways to humiliate Doug Savant."

The Evil Pharmacist
ROGER BART
"It's so savory to play the unsavory," says Roger Bart. "It's so delicious to play somebody so creepy and unctuous." Better known for Broadway roles like his Tony Award-winning Snoopy in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and his Tony-nominated Carmen Ghia in The Producers, he says his daughter Eller, 4, is unfazed by his newfound fame. "She thinks everybody's dad is on TV," he says. "I'm not sure when
(George Will iams) it dawns on them that it's special."
Bart, 42, who splits his time between New York City and LA, does know how special it is, and tunes in like any fan. "I was with my kid reading Dr. Seuss," he says, "and I was watching Rex die and Bree cry and I'm reading Hop on Pop and I'm thinking, Who could do that to him?" Well, George springs to mind. "Oh, pray for poor George!" he says, laughing. "I know I am!"
The Creepy Widower
MARK MOSES "The craziest thing that's happened recently," says Moses, "was at a restaurant in New Orleans. I was walking past a table of eight middle-aged guys drinking beer and eating lobster, and they all go, 'Hey, Paul Young. Come on over!' And they get on their phones and say, 'Here, talk to my wife!'What do you say? 'Hi, your husbands are here kicking up their heels and
(Paul Young)
I'm Paul Young on Desperate Housewives?' " The father of two, Moses, 47, coaches Little League and spends his Housewives salary on practical things like a new minivan for actress wife Annie LaRussa and uniforms for his kids'
baseball teams. "Paul Young is completely deviant," he says. "Every time I yell at my sons, I
Every t ime I yell at my sons, I throw a dollar in a pot for throws dollar hi a pot therapy later On" for therapy later on."
The Slimy Ex-Husband
RICHARD BURGI (Karl Mayer) He appeared in only three episodes last year as Susan's adulterous husband, dropping by to twist the knife in her already-broken heart. This season, expect to see a lot more of Burgi as Karl takes up with Susan's nemesis Edie— and remains as cluelessly Neanderthal as ever. "He realizes he's a bit of a buffoon," he says, "but yet goes through life blindly anyway and having a good time. I think they're getting a new car for me that is just as racy and just as screaming-a-midlife-crisis as before."
Burgi, 47, married for 10 years to Lori Kahn with sons Jack, 8, and Samuel, 5, has his own secret for avoiding those pitfalls. "Find some support system," he says. "I'm a big proponent of therapy—group therapy, single therapy— to get a sense of the big picture."
As for any steamy encounters with Edie, Burgi says he's ready for the extra exposure. "A little buttage?" he says, laughing. "If ifs for the sake of the scene, sure, I've got buns in the oven. Theyjust need to be taken out and cooled down."

Joy Lauren, 15 (Danielle Van de Kamp)
Sometimes I think about high school and wonder, What am I missing?" notes Lauren, whose
sudden visibility is still sinking in. But she's thrilled to be learning from actors she considers "at the top of their game" and giddy over perks like the on-set smoothie machine and free Juicy Tubes and shipments of Lip Venom Lite. "This is a dream place to work," she says.
Shawn Pyfrom, 19 (Andrew Van de Kamp)
I used to say I could never kiss another guy," Pyfrom says, recalling the challenge he faced
when his character had a make-out scene with Justin (Ryan Carnes). "My parents thought it was so funny." What of plans for Andrew to torture Bree? "It's exciting to play someone with that kind of depth," he says. "But it's hard to be mean to Marcia because she's so nice."
Cody Kasch, 18 (Zach Young) The glasses, comb-over and tucked-in polo just popped into my head at the audition," says
Kasch of his disturbed alter ego. Off-set, Kasch is earning a pilot's license and plays bass in a blues band with his two brothers and a pal. Coverage of his May arrest for allegedly smoking pot in N.Y.C. (Kasch maintains his innocence) gave him a taste of fame's downside. "I had no idea I was that much of a public figure," he says.
Andrea Bowen, 15 (Julie Mayer) When I go out to events, people say, 'Wow, you look a lot better in real life!'" says Bowen. Such
are the hazards of playing smart girl Julie Mayer. Bowen, who made her Broadway debut at age 6 in Les Miserables, appreciates that Julie's not "the stereotypical teenage girl." A serious student, she logs 25 hours a week with a tutor. "Sometimes," she says, "it's hard to go from being Julie to doing algebra."
Mehcad Brooks, 24 (Matthew Applewhite)
Even I am stupefied," observes Brooks of the dishy mystery surrounding his new role as the
secretive son of Betty Applewhite. Unlike the other Desperate teens, Brooks, a 6'3" former model, plays younger than his 24 years. But he likes older women. If he could write his own plotline, he'd "like to make the rounds of the Housewives," he says with a laugh. "Wisteria Lane needs a gigolo!"

Martha Cherry, who raised Marc and two daughters in Oklahoma and Orange County, California, was the inspiration for Desperate Housewives. PEOPLE correspondent Michael Fleeman spoke with mother and son about how the show reflects their family.
How do you like the spotl ight, Mrs. Cherry?
Mrs. Cherry: I told Marc I'm kind of overwhelmed with the publicity. I've always led kind of a quiet life, and all of sudden being in the l imelight, I don ' t know how to react. For his sake, it's wonderful. That 's the main thing. What does it feel like to see events on the show that come from your life? Mrs. Cherry: Oh, I'm amused. A child looks at th ings di f ferent ly t h a n an adult. Don't you find that t rue, Marc? Marc: The thing that makes me laugh is t ha t I j u s t don ' t t h ink you realize somet imes how much I've borrowed. Mrs. Cherry: Just watch yourself. Marc: Okay.
Any favorite moments in the show? Mrs. Cherry: There are so many things tha t are j u s t wonder fu l . The th ing with the lawn mower—with the gal in the evening dress mowing. I went into hysterics.
Marc, how do you adapt your life to television?
Marc: So much of what I do is just take a kernel of truth from my life. It's never exactly as it happened. I think the closest incident, which my m o m told me

Yep, she really kicked her son out of the car and left him by the side of the road. A conversation with the show's creator,
Marc Cherry, and his mom, Martha, the Mother of Desperation Pho tog raph by EMILY SHUR
Cherry says writing for The Golden Girls in the early '90s helped him figure out the dynamic among the Housewives. "It kind of set the rules," he says. "You've got four different women with an entirely different take on the same subject." On Housewives, "I wanted to make sure that my women were complicated. I wanted to give them all contradictions."
about, was when Lynette left her kids off on the side of the road. Do you remember doing that, Mrs. Cherry? Mrs. Cherry: Oh, absolutely. And I rem e m b e r feeling so bad because I watched him in the rearview mir ror as I pulled away. I was concerned he might run after the car. He stood there with his little head down. It just broke my heart .
Marc: But I behaved when I got back in the car. Mrs. Cherry: Well, you did. Wha t you didn ' t realize is tha t we were within sight of the house. You just didn't know it. We were very, very close. But you were getting into the food, you were bothering your sisters. You were being a pill.
Marc: Yeah, I probably was. Mrs. Cherry: And what has been interesting" about that is I have met so many parents that said, "I did that," and they would proceed to tell me an incident that would be just a little bit different. One woman, whose chi ldren were a little older than mine, said she would take her children to a detention center and threaten to leave them. Of course, we didn't have one of those around. Anything else from your past that we'll see this season? Marc: You find as a writer stuff comes
up all the t ime. Somet imes it's not a whole story. Sometimes it's a moment or a phrase. I've had Bree say, "Let's not be unpleasant." My mom used to say that a lot. Sometimes it's just little gestures or little moments, and I'll write it. Especially for Bree's character, I try to use the flavor of stuff I've observed.
I don't have a cynical view
of suburban life or family life . . . I had a wonderful childhood"
—Marc Cherry
Mrs. Cher ry , do you see y o u r s e l f in
Bree?
Mrs. Cherry: Absolutely not. I thought: My goodness] I didn' t relate to that at all. What I related to was the woman with all the children. Marc: I don' t think my mom was ever quite the iiber housekeeper, cleaner, cook, seamstress that Bree is. But what it was with my mom was the effort to keep things pleasant, keep things nice. Did you always sense that Marc would go into show business? Mrs. Cherry: Well, I don' t know about
show business. But when he was 8'/a months old he was in a walker, and he was talking. I had never been around chi ldren. So I d idn ' t know tha t they didn' t s tar t talking until later. When he was 18 months old, he lay down on the floor and said he wanted some ice cream before dinner. And I said, "No, you could have some, but you will have to wait until we have dinner." And he th rew his stuff on the floor and had a t an t rum. And I called my husband. I said, "Come here , I do believe he's th rowing a t a n t r u m . " And we s tood there in the doorway and watched him. He s topped . He gave us a mos t disgusted look. And he got up and jus t walked away. And I said to T r u m a n , "Do you think we've failed?" Marc: That was my first performance and they didn't click into it the way I had hoped. It was my first audience and I did not get rave reviews. Mrs. Cherry, I have to say, when you told that anecdote I heard the Bree cadence in your voice. Mrs. Cherry: Oh, dear. I jus t thought maybe it was the fact that she has red hair and I do too.
Have you ever told Marc that there are some things he can't write about? Mrs. Cherry: Oh, no, never. Marc: I think my mom knows that I'm the keeper of the flame and s o m e A

Mrs. Cherry: I jus t felt tha t parts of it had. Like he said, he takes a little bit and then enlarges upon it. And what I really told him basically was, "You have no idea how much I love you." Marc: I don't have a cynical view of suburbia or suburban life or family life. As much as we had some crazy stuff happen in our household, it was a wonderful childhood—a lot of love and a lot of happiness. But even if I try to do something that's a little dark or wicked, I think you're left with a feeling of hope or optimism. I think that 's very much a t r ibute to how I was raised. As much as I observed some wicked stuff happening, I really loved my life in Orange County growing up. Mrs. Cherry, were you ever a despera te housewife?
Mrs. Cherry: Oh, I have a funny story to tell you. I took the children fishing.

And lo and behold , s o m e o n e caught a fish. And I didn' t know what to do with it. And I didn' t know quite what to tell the children. So I said to them: "Oh, my goodness, it's a mama fish, and we're going to have to let it go because it needs to lay its eggs." So we stood on the bank and waved goodbye to this fish. This man was seated not too far from us, and he had the most disgusted look on his face. Marc: We bought it. Mrs. Cherry: They bought it. Marc: Now answer the question, Mama. Did you ever have a m o m e n t w h e r e you felt desperate? Mrs. Cherry: Probably when we were living in I r an and your father had a heart attack.
Marc: We lived overseas because my dad was in the oil business. Dad had a mass ive h e a r t a t t ack and M o m was
kind of t h e r e t r a p p e d . We were 13,12 and 11.

If you have a problem, you need to resolve it. We

And I thought: My goodness, I must r emember this. Thank you both very much. Good night. Marc: And Mom, I j u s t heated up my dinner, and I'm going to eat my dinner now.

Episode GUIDE In the words of Housewives' ghostly narrator, "Each new morning in
suburbia brings with it a new set of lies." But old mistruths are what truly haunt the families of Wisteria Lane. Read this to catch up on Season 1
By PEOPLE TV critic Tom Gliatto
1 PILOT
Mary Alice puts an end to
her seemingly perfect
suburban life with a bullet
to the head. Her friends, in
the true spirit of soul sisters
and Nancy Drew, ask: Why?
Then they find a blackmail
note, and we're off! Susan,
jealous that Edie may already
have scored with Mike the
plumber, accidentally
burns down Edie's house.. . .
Gabrielle, meanwhile,
cheats on Carlos with John
the gardener.... Rex asks
Bree for a divorce.
2 AH, BUT UNDERNEATH Mrs. Huber finds Susan's
measuring cup in the ruins
of Edie's house. . . . Paul
disposes of a filthy-looking
old toy chest in a local
lake. . . . Bree and Rex try
counsel ing.. . . How come
Mike has a gun and cash and
a map of the community
hidden in his house? Because
he's on a secret mission!. . .
Says Mary Alice: "Every family has its secrets— You need to think carefully before digging them up."
3 PRETTY LITTLE PICTURE
Bree finds a tape of Mary
Alice's therapy session at
the marriage counselor's
and pilfers it.
4 WHO'S THAT WOMAN?
On the tape, Mary Alice
calls herself Angela. The
girls are understandably
per turbed. . . . Mrs. Huber
blackmails Susan into
paying her bills, until Julie
steals back the c u p . . . .
The girls tell Paul about the
threatening note. He says
Mary Alice wrote it to
herself (thus begins his long,
devious spin campaign).
5 COME IN, STRANGER
Carlos's mama, Juanita,
arrives at his request to spy
on Gabrielle.
6 RUNNING TO STAND STILL
Paul puts Zach, who's starting
to mull over the past a little
too much, in a c l in ic . . . .
Exhausted Lynette gets
hooked on the energy buzz
she gets from taking her
kids' A.D.D. medic ine. . . .
Says Mary Alice: "As children we're taught that the power of good triumphs. But as we get older we realize... traces of evil always remain."
7 ANYTHING YOU CAN DO Susan has finally arranged
a proper date with Mike,
but he cancels because of
a mysterious houseguest,
Kendra (we'll later learn
she's the sister of Deirdre,
missing for years and the
object of Mike's undercover
search mission).. . . Juanita
takes a photo of Gabrielle
and John making love, runs
out into Wisteria Lane and—
bang!—is left in a coma after
a hit-and-run collision with
a car driven by Bree's rebel
son Andrew.... Susan, going
through more of Mary Alice's
things, discovers the Rose
bud of the show: a baby
blanket with the name Dana.
8 GUILTY
After a detective traces the
blackmailer's notepaper to
Mrs. Huber, Paul strangles
her, first bashing her in the
head with a blender that
(yummy irony!) Mrs. Huber
borrowed from Mary Alice.
9 SUSPICIOUS MINDS Paul buries Mrs. Huber in
the woods . . . . Zach runs
away from the clinic and
hides in Julie's room. Tells
her he killed Dana, his baby
sister, and that his parents
buried her in secret . . . .
The FBI arrests Carlos for
international sweat labor
practices.... Police find
that toy chest. Uh-oh!
10 COME BACK TO ME
Rex, who hasn't told Bree
about his S&M fetish,
sneaks off for some domi
nance and submission with
neighbor Maisy Gibbons.
He has a heart at tack. . . .
Says Mary Alice: "We never
know who we can trust In
the end, most people decide to trust only themselves."
11 MOVE ON
Mrs. Huber's sister Felicia
comes to Wisteria Lane,
already certain the missing

Martha is d e a d . . . . To spite
Rex, recuperating at home,
Bree goes out with George,
the creepy pharmacist who
happens to be doling out his
heart medicine.... A jogger
finds Mrs. Huber's corpse—
Says Mary Alice: "We're all searching for someone, and if we can't find them, we can only pray that they find us."
12 EVERY DAY A LITTLE DEATH
While rowing on a lake to
dispose of Mrs. Huber's
ashes, Susan confesses to
Edie that she burned down
her house. Edie throws Mrs.
Huber in her face.
13 YOUR FAULT
After Rex warns him off Bree,
George begins mucking
around with Rex's pills.
14 LOVE IS IN THE AIR
Mike gets shot breaking
into a house in his search
for clues, then tells
Susan it was a self-inflicted
accident. . . . Felicia figures
out that Mary Alice was
someone she knew back in
Utah named Angelal
15 IMPOSSIBLE
Lynette opens up to the
wife of Tom's boss and
derails Tom's promotion,
implying he shouldn't be
kept away from his k ids . . . .
The cops, who think Mike
may have something to do
with Mrs. Huber's murder,
show Susan his rap sheet:
manslaughter, drugs.
16 THE LADIES WHO LUNCH
A sewage overflow shuts
down Gabrielle's plumbing;
with their money tied up
by Carlos's legal woes, she
steals a Port-A-Potty
Says Mary Alice: "Throughout even the most respectable of neighborhoods you can hear the sound of scandal."
17 THERE WONT BE
TRUMPETS
Juanita awakens from her
coma in the hospital, only
to fall down some steps
and die. Is Gabrielle's secret
safe?... Mike gives Susan a
letter explaining everything,
but Susan can't make up
her mind whether to read it.
18 CHILDREN WILL LISTEN
Felicia sits down with Zach
and helps him remember
his real name i s . . . Dana!
. . . Gabrielle sleeps with
John, unaware that Carlos
has been tampering with
her birth control pills so
they can have a child. She
gets pregnant—but by
whom? . . . Says Mary
Alice: "Children change everything, especially when they're not invited."
19 LIVE ALONE AND LIKE IT
Police determine that
the body in the trunk
is the missing
Deirdre. . . . Looking
into the police file,
Mike figures out that
Paul owned the toy
chest that became
her coffin.
20 FEAR NO MORE
Lynette is steamed
when she learns that
Annabel, Tom's old
flame, has been hired
by his o f f i ce . . . . Susan
puts the kibosh on
Zach ever dating Julie
again. Soon after, her
kitchen catches fire.
21 SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
Felicia tells Paul she knows
he killed Martha, and more:
She knows Zach's sordid
backstory. She orders Paul
to flee and leave Zach with
her . . . . Kendra explains to
Susan that Mike is a good
person, no really: He and
Deirdre were lovers, and he
tried to save her from
drugs. Susan finally allows
herself to fall totally in love.
22 GOODBYE FOR NOW
The chickens all come
home to roost There are
new neighbors: the only
black residents of Wisteria
Lane, named Applewhite.
. . . Bree breaks off her
platonic friendship with
pathetic-mean George.
He gets into her house,
finds sex toys, and lies to
Bree that Rex has gossiped
about their S & M . . . .
Lynette sneakily tries to get
Annabel hired by another
firm; Annabel's boss
counteroffers and promotes
her over Tom. Tom quits—
and learns about Lynette's
prior meddling
Bree and Rex fight, he has
a heart attack, and she
perversely delays taking
him to the ER. . . . Felicia
and Mike seem to agree:
Paul should be killed for his
cr imes.. . . Says Mary Alice:
"The time comes when we all must say goodbye to the world we knew."
23 ONE WONDERFUL DAY
And one amazing cliff-
hanger! Zach flashback:
born Dana, son of drug-
addicted Deirdre, stolen by
rehab nurse Angela (Mary
Alice) and Paul, who move
to Wisteria Lane. Years later:
Deirdre shows up, wants
baby, gets knifed and
stuffed in that toy chest
Tom tells Lynette he'll stay
home—she has to go back
to work . . . . Rex dies—but
did he think Bree and
George conspired to kill
him? . . . Zach, who has
learned from Felicia that
Mike is going to do a hit
job on Paul, holds Susan
hostage with a gun while
awaiting his re turn. . . . Paul,
expecting a bullet from
Mike, explains that Deirdre
had a son—whoa! Zach is
Mike's son? Mike spares
Paul and heads home,
where Zach awaits Says
Mary Alice: "I cheer them on, these amazing women. I hope so much they'll find what they're looking for.... Sadly, that's just not the way life works. Not everyone gets a happy ending."

EPISODE 23 John lets Carlos in on his big secret: He was the one sleeping w i th Gabrielle.
Neighbors and Mary Alice returns—in spirit, anyway—but what other memorable characters are coming back for more?
Brenda STRONG Her neighbors attended her funeral in the first episode, so while other characters maybe dispatched this season, "the good news is that they can't kill me!" says Brenda Strong, 45. Although she doesn't log much screen time, playing the show's omniscient narrator has its perks. "Marc Cherry said to me, 'You have more lines than anybody else on the show,'" she
says. "I make a nice living playing dead." Strong also has a bona fide backup career, just in case. She and husband Tom Henri, the parents of a 10-year-old son, own a yoga studio in LA "I've entertained the idea of having a private yoga party with all the girls," says Strong, "but I haven't yet because all our schedules have been so insane."

JOELY FISHER (Nina Fletcher) "There's a new bitch in town," announces Joely Fisher, describing her role as Nina Fletcher, Lynette's tightly wound boss. But Nina's not "a straight-out bitch without any crack in the exterior. She's funny and flawed like the rest of them." Though Fisher, 37, has starred in Lifetime's Wild Card, people act as if Housewives is her big break. "I was in the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf the other morning and a guy tapped me on the arm to congratulate me," she says. "It's a phenomenon." While hoping the writers give her something "evil" to do, Fisher, whose daughter Skylar is 4, is also plotting a return to Broadway in a revival of Funny Girl. "I'm not really scared of anything," she says. "I bark at a challenge."

JULIA SWEENEY (writer) Best known for her portrayal of gender-challenged Pat on Saturday Night Live, comedian Julia Sweeney thought it was a joke when she got the offer to write for Housewives. "I thought it was a ruse by my agent," she says. Apparently it wasn't. Turns out Housewives creator Marc Cherry had seen her 1996 one-woman show God Said, "/fa/" and had always wanted to hire her. "I love it when we talk about how mean these women will be and how far they'll go to get their goals met," says Sweeney, 45, "but I don't naturally think of those things. Sad and funny is my area, I guess." Sweeney, a cervical cancer survivor who adopted daughter Mulan, 5, is also writing a book, My Beautiful Loss of Faith Story. "I've become sort of a mean-

ingjunkie," she says. "I don't like anything that doesn't have a lot of meaning for me. And yet life is filled with things that are basically meaningless that you have to do."
SHIRLEY K N I G H T (Phyllis Van deKamp)
Arriving just in time to battle Bree over her son's funeral, Rex's mom, Phyllis Van de Kamp, played by Oscar-nominated actress Shirley Knight, promises to be the cul-de-sac's latest fly in the ointment. "I come to Wisteria Lane and stir things up a lot," says Knight. "I have a great entrance and a great exit."

John the qardene Preppy striped shirts are meant to keep John looking boyish.
His look is classic: button-front Levi's and well-cut T-shirts.
Out of his orange prison jumpsuit, high roller Carlos prefers tailored suits by Ted Baker and expensive pink and avender
shirts. "My character spends a lot of money on clothes," says actor Ricardo Chavira.
"When you put a guy like Doug Savant in worn jeans and an old T-shirt, he looks hot," says costume designer Cate Adair, who has big plans for

Secrets of Their Style
British-born costume designer Cate Adair shares her Housewives shopping strategies
Where do you buy the clothes for the show? "Everywhere and anywhere. Swap meets, secondhand shops, boutiques, little shops, big shops, some designer labels. We'll buy stuff at the Gap. Susan wore a pale yellow Banana Republic scarf we found on sale. The inside-out jacket Bree wore when Rex had his heart attack was vintage."
Do you shop according to the script? "We can anticipate that at some point Bree is going to go to church again or Lynette is going to have another feud with a mom at school. I go out with the characters in mind."
What look are you going for? "I try to go back to a mid-century feel. We have these wonderful traditional pieces mixed with modern."
Are you influenced by clothes you are sent by designers? "I'm trying very hard not to be. This is a suburban world, and if the clothes became very high-end, we'd lose something for the audience. It's sweet when we get mail saying, 'I've had five babies, and it was nice to realize that I too could wear a cute pair of jeans and a T-shirt to drop off my kids at school instead of an old tracksuit that is 10 sizes too big. '"
