James Denton Returning to Desperate Housewives — But Single

July 5, 2008

If this season’s flash-forward finale of Desperate Housewives left fans in a fog as to whether Susan and Mike were still together, James Denton has both good and bad news.

“Mike and Susan have definitely split up,” Denton tells PEOPLE. But fear not, he says he will definitely be reporting for duty on the set. “I’m not sure exactly in what capacity. [Series creator] Marc Cherry is being a little cagey,” he says. “It’s going to be interesting to see what happens. But I will certainly be on the show. It’s a relief to me, trust me.”

During the show’s summer hiatus, Denton, 45, is enjoying a favorite pastime—baseball. He will be playing in the Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game on Sunday, July 13.

A veteran of the annual event, this year he will be joining the rest of the players at Yankee Stadium. And don’t be surprised if he and the pro baseball players talk about Desperate Housewives in the dugout.

“It’s unbelievable the number of ball players that actually watch the show,” Denton says. “Jeff Kent of the Los Angeles Dodgers came up to me and just volunteered that he never misses the show, watches it all the time.” –Jesse North

After all the time that it took for Mike and Susan to get together, they are split up. This is wrong!

Elizabeth July 5th, 2008

I agree. This is one unhappy Mike & Susan fan. The flash forward last year was a mess. It was a great finale and Marc Cherry ruined it.

Stephanie July 5th, 2008

Un-freakin-believable. Why can’t Mike and Susan just be together? I hate you Marc Cherry.

Christie July 5th, 2008

After seeing the finale to last season, Desperate Housewives has jumped the shark. So sad!!

Kelly July 5th, 2008

I am not mad over this quite yet. We still have no idea what split them up so I guess I will just have to watch and decide then.

Lisa July 5th, 2008

OMGGGGGG are you serious????? I am NOT HAPPY ABC!!!!!

lily July 5th, 2008

I totally agree! After all the time spent getting them together and now they’re done?! So annoying!!

Susie July 5th, 2008

I have a feeling we will spend next season with Mike and Susan finding their way back to one another AGAIN and I think it’s a big mistake. It is just another version of the story we have been watching the last 2 plus years. “Mike and Susan figuring it out and working through bad decisions, bad timing etc.” Enought already. Leave them alone and find another creative storyline for the pair to work through!

i used to love the show. it was so funny in first season.now it’s just another soap opera.

Pat July 5th, 2008

For heavens sake just for once couldn’t you have a married couple work things out and stay together. It took them along time to get together so let them stay together. If it ain’t broke don’t throw it away. In this case their marriage.
