My hope is it's a universe, and people drift out and sometimes they drift back in again. Just because someone leaves doesn't mean they can't show up in some other way.

I can't tell you about that. It was so controversial, people would write about it if it was brought up. Maybe when season six rolls around and [ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson] has been promoted to running Disney, he won't notice and I'll slip it in on him.

I love the idea of a beautiful neighborhood that represents the very best of American values, but also as a fun backdrop to some darker, deliciously sneaky things going on in people's lives.

Desperate Housewives

Certain actresses really don't like to wear bras. And we try to accommodate them as much as humanly possible.... So we've done a lot of blurring.

My dream is to get someone like Carol Burnett on the show.
