Dark Secrets The Cast Of Desperate Housewives Tried To Hide

When it premiered in 2004, Desperate Housewives was one of the most dramatic and controversial shows on network television. The primetime soap opera chronicled the seemingly-perfect lives of the housewives on Wisteria Lane, where everyone had dark secrets buried beneath the surface. However, it turns out that it wasn’t just the characters who were keeping secrets, as plenty of the show’s cast members found themselves at the center of some pretty intense scandals and controversies.

From the dramatic end of Eva Longoria’s marriage, to the infamous college admissions scandal that Felicity Huffman was involved in, here are some dark secrets the cast of Desperate Housewives tried to hide.

Which of these secrets shocked you the most?

[omar_omark]

Real life Lynette Scavo would do anything for her kids I guess...

[ash]

How could you forget the writers killing Sheridan off because she reported the writer for hitting her?! There's a reason she wasn't in the series finale...

Previously on desperate housewives - This still gives me goosebumps

[nightmarification]

I've watched this show 20 times and IM STILL EXCITED WHEN I PLAY THAT S1 E1!!! Best show. Btw im Gaby

Did you guys go out of your way to find the most unflattering picture of Teri Hatcher?

[faith]

Teri Hatcher is annoying on and off screen. Susan was the worst character

[LiamLewisofficial]

Remember in season one when Lynnette had to sell Tom's boat to pay 15k to get her kids into a private sometimes imitates life.

Wow Marcia Cross was clean no dark secrets except when she had cancer went into remission. Im happy she doing ALOT better. How ironic considering the character she played probably held more dark secrets then the rest of the ladies. LOL 😁

Nicki Swift's definition of "dark secrets" = Lukewarm tea at best

[TheNaughtyFrench]

Desperate Housewives is one of the most spectacular and impressive show I've ever seen. A real masterpiece


I have never been disappointed from the show, since the beginning until the end I was always excited and really happy to watch episodes.


Mark Cherry did an incredible work and I can't believe this show is based on the stories of his mother.
Lynette Scavo and Bree Van de camp are definitely my mom in real life I swear god it's insane haha




I knew about Nicolette's behavior on the set, we don't see behind the stage but yeah it happens a lot. I guess it was really complicated for the other housewives.

[scouserify]

I adore this show I wish they’d bring it back

[MFTiX]

So... except for Felicity Huffman, there's no dark secrets.

[missfit]

Vaness never tried to hide that...it was really public...like everyone already knows about it

[zoglulahmed]

Teri hatcher's character susan was actually always potrayed as the main character.

[emilykathleenn]

I think the victor storyline and killing off edie because she fell out with marc cherry were both mistakes and far fetched. Loved desperate housewives more than any other show though so can't be too critical

[PRClimbStudio]

You forgot to mention that some of the actors alleged that Marc Cherry ( show creator) was disrespectful towards some of them, Nicolette even sued Marc....

[NikkiBWithTheAdHd]

Doesn’t matter how many times you’ve watched DHW it’s just absolutely glorious 🤷‍♀️😂 I just recently restarted the series. Currently on season 3 🍎♥️

[ContenidoNeto]

This song was everything! Bring back our housewives Netflix 😝

[cjdeguzman]

The most shocking is your pronunciation of "Marcia."
