To appreciate the "sexy Susan" era at Target, we must first understand the disaster that preceded it. Susan Mayer was never the richest resident on the lane—that was Bree or Gabrielle—but she was comfortable. She was a children’s book illustrator living in a cute house.
Susan Mayer is often criticized for being “boy-crazy” or “immature,” but her romantic storylines are the most honest depiction of a romantic idealist on television. She falls fast, she falls hard, and she makes terrible decisions—but she never stops believing in the fairy tale.
If Karl is the storm, Mike Delfino (James Denton) is the calm. The plumber with a secret past arrives on Wisteria Lane as a mysterious, brooding love interest. Their relationship is the show’s central “will-they-won’t-they” arc, spanning multiple seasons, a coma, amnesia, a divorce, and a remarriage.
Fun, flirty, and forgettable
A detour on the way to destiny
