推 POYUANG:but poor Julie...Julie's boyfriends seem all weird... 08/09 10:08
It's all about Julie...(not that Julie/or Lady Heather
in the O.C./or CSI)
Bad Boy, Bad Boy, What's Susan Gonna Do? Sure, the show's called Desperate
Housewives, but where would the women of Wisteria Lane really be without
their male counterparts? Think about it. At the end of season one, producers
killed off Bree's hubby, Rex (Steven Culp), and gave Jesse Metcalfe, well,
plenty of time off to pursue his movie career. What was the result? A
somewhat disappointing season two that critics called a "creative slump."
Okay, so maybe those leading men exits aren't completely to blame for the
sophomore sag, but showrunner Marc Cherry isn't taking any chances, bringing
Mr. Metcalfe back into the fold and recruiting the sexy Josh Henderson to
play Edie Britt's nephew Austin.
Josh, who honed his acting chops on FX's short-lived but critically acclaimed
Over There last season, tells me he couldn't be more thrilled to score the
gig--and not just because, thanks to that first Desperate paycheck, he called
me from the Hummer dealership where he was contemplating the purchase of his
long-coveted dream car. "This is a role I can have fun with," he tells me. "I
can relax and just enjoy creating this character. Over There was so
hard-core. I really had to take myself to a different place, because of how
intense the show was."
And, as is usually the case on Wisteria Lane, Josh's character is not what he
seems. "[Austin] is kind of a bad boy, this darker kind of drinker, smoker,"
Josh says. "But he's also fun and smart and funny. And there's also a little
bit of mystery about him. They're not telling me much right now. It's, like,
every week, I learn something new about Austin."
One thing we do know? Susan might not be so thrilled with the new bad boy in
town, because there will be, apparently, a little romance between Austin and
Julie, Andrea Bowen's character. "I believe I'm going to be having a pretty
good storyline with her," Josh tells me. And despite James Denton's former
edict that "no one with a penis is safe," Josh seems to be in the clear. "I
come in on episode two, and I think I'm guaranteed to be around for at least
15," he says. "After that, I don't know what will happen, but Austin is
definitely a character they're really excited about, and I know he's going to
be stirring a lot of things up with everyone on Wisteria Lane."
