What became of the stars from the beloved series Desperate Housewives, whose final episode aired in 2012?
In 2004—17 years ago—Desperate Housewives burst onto screens worldwide. The gripping premise: After the suicide of one of their friends, four women in the upscale Fairview suburb see their lives upended.
Meet Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria), Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross), Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), and Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), along with their husbands, children, and many intriguing neighbors. The story unfolds through the voice of their late friend, Mary Alice Young. Though deceased, she appears in 17 episodes, including 6 without a single word.
They're joined by the bold, man-eating neighbor Edie Britt (Nicolette Sheridan), followed in season four by Katherine Mayfair (Dana Delany). The final addition to the desperate housewives roster: Renee Perry (Vanessa Williams).
For nearly a decade, fans were hooked on tales of love, friendship, sex, divorce, murder, disappearances, and scandal in this seemingly idyllic town. Wisteria Lane endured pedophiles, thieves, fires, a shooting, and even a tornado.
But 17 years after the series finale that defined a generation, where are the actors who brought these characters to life? Discover what happened to the Desperate Housewives cast.
