Ten years ago, our favorite housewives gave up their aprons. In 2012, after eight years of intrigue, sealed pacts and gossip in front of a mug of coffee, Bree, Suzanne, Gabrielle and Lynette bowed out to the great despair of their fans. If the most nostalgic can always find the adventures of the “Desperate Housewives” on streaming platforms, the most fervent will be able, this Monday, December 12, to see one of the most famous couples in the series reform on TF1 in a Christmas TV movie. event. The first channel broadcasts the TV movie “Love at first sight before Christmas” with Teri Hatcher and James Denton, alias Suzanne and Mike Delfino.
The flagship couple of the series created by Marc Cherry finds themselves playing Joyce and Ethan, a united wife and husband, parents of two adopted children. They met twenty years earlier, remaining stuck in the same elevator for hours on December 24… A fiction whose producer is James Denton himself. “The best thing I could do in this place was to cast Teri Hatcher! (laughs) We were lucky that she said “Yes” because she is fantastic. That was really the coolest part of this project, being able to recruit her. As an actor, you can have a small impact but you don’t have the power. As a producer, I was able to convince her to participate, choose the filming locations, the music… It was more “my” TV movie.”, confided the actor to Allociné.
If Teri Hatcher had the reputation of being on bad terms with the other actresses of “Desperate Housewives”, the relationship with her former husband in the fiction seems to be in good shape. “She and I have stayed in touch since Desperate Housewives ended in 2012, never getting to see each other again. We had always talked about doing something together again but we hadn’t found a project. So when I got this deal to do this TV movie and became a producer, I immediately called her to tell her I had found something. The channel then jumped at the chance because they knew it was lucky to have Teri!“, explained James Denton.
