‘Desperate Housewives’ rebuilds for the better after the tornado
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Just before “Desperate Housewives” went on strike hiatus in January, there was a housecleaning, literally. A tornado ripped through Wisteria Lane, leveling some homes, ruining others and taking a good deal of bad karma with it. The gruesome metal fountain sculpture that had become a flash point for conversations about conformity? Gone. The mayor, Victor Lang (John Slattery), new husband to Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria Parker), who was still dabbling with her ex, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira)? Dead. A rapprochement between prim perfectionist Bree (Marcia Cross) and ascendant neighborhood disrupter Katherine (Dana Delany)? A frightening possibility.
