Exclusive: A 'Desperate Housewives' baddie returns!

Desperate Housewives is adding a new villain to Wisteria Lane. The twist? It’s an old villain!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Mark Moses is slated to reprise his role as Mary Alice’s creepy widower, Paul, on a full-time basis next season.

The character was last seen in season 3 when Mike paid him a visit in jail, where he’s serving time for murdering poor Martha Huber. After leaving Housewives, Moses joined the cast of Mad Men as Herman “Duck” Phillips.

Earlier this year, Housewives creator Marc Cherry hinted to me that he was thinking of bringing on a new vixen to succeed Nicollette Sheridan. “We hope to add a troublemaker,” he clarified, “but I’m not so sure it’ll be a woman.” Sneaky!

Thoughts? Anxious to see what trouble Paul will stir up this time around? Sound off below!

This show lost its appeal years ago.

that's cause you havent been watching

this season has been amazing

we have a teenage murderer living right in the house of one of the wives and she doesnt even know it.

he's been running around stangling girls and no one has any clue he's doing it.


i dont like Paul but i wonder what he will do now when he returns.

I guess I should start watching again, that sounds interesting.

Yes vix this season has been AMAZING!!! I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT!!!

Thus far best season everz. No one can replace Nicole Sheridan and with Kathrine gone i'm sad.....she finally got interesting again. But her contract was up

I miss Edie...she was my fave next to Gabby
