Desperate for screen return
It’s been desperate times indeed for those Desperate Housewives since a tornado tore through Wisteria Lane.
Viewers were agog to know who lived and who died. But then a writers’ strike hit Hollywood and work on the series was suspended for three months.[>
[>
But with the strike now settled the girls went back to work yesterday – and they are so keen to get the new series on TV screens by April they are preparing to film flat out six days a week.[>
[>
If recent pictures are anything to go by, working must be good for the soul with Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman clearly happy to be back on the set.[>
[>
Certainly Ms Huffman, 44, who won an Emmy for her role as feisty mother Lynette Scavo, is in a good mood since calling a halt to her life-long battle with weight issues.[>
[>
“I understand the pain of waking up in agony in your own skin. I have had that, ‘just can’t be thin enough’ feeling of hating my body,” she said recently.[>
[>
“But when I turned 40 I looked at myself in the mirror and said: ‘You’re not bad’.” [>
[>
As for Marcia, 45, who plays uptight Bree De Kemp, her main worry is pregnancy. She was nearly axed when she unexpectedly became pregnant with twins in 2006.[>
[>
She has promised producers no more babies. But can she keep that promise? [>
[>
“I looked at my girls this morning and said ‘where are your brothers?’” said Marcia. [>
[>
“I think in twos, of course, so there has to be two boys.”[>
