Nothing Gay on "Wisteria Lane"?

LOS ANGELES -- Next season of "Desperate Housewives" will offer more surprises, twists and turns, but the kiss between "Andrew" (Shawn Pyfrom) and "Justin" (Ryan Carnes) is not likely to develop into anything more.

That is some of information that was revealed when the show's creator, Marc Cherry, sat down at a panel discussion at The 23rd Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.

Cherry, who is gay, commented on the show's huge fan base, "I think anytime you get four or five really strong women doing desperate, dastardly things, gay men get a big kick out of it."

Marcia Cross, who plays Bree Van de Camp in the series, said, "It's written by primarily gay men and, I think, a few gay women. So, in that sense, you've got to wonder what is that connection that they have written these women so well - men have written these females extraordinarily well."

The cast and crew was naturally ecstatic over the 15 Emmy nominations for the show, "Thrilled, thrilled, thrilled!" said Cherry. "I can't even think of another word. I was just really, really happy."

Shawn Pyfrom, who plays Bree's son Andrew, commented on the prospect of some more man-to-man lip action from his character, "(Andrew) is a very narcissistic character. So basically anything he wants to do, anything that feels good, he does. I think that's more what he is. I don't think he's gay or straight. I think he's just Andrew."
