Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is preparing to introduce a gay couple to Wisteria Lane.

“They will move into the old Applewhite house and one of the gay men will just have a fractious, hateful relationship with (Susan). And Susan wants to be so politically correct and show how open-minded she is and she puts her foot in her mouth instantly and it goes downhill from there. I’m basing it a little bit on my relationship with my neighbors.”

Couple casting will begin in the next few weeks.
