Nathan Fillion and Dana Delany aren't the only new neighbors on ABC's "Desperate Housewives."

Look for a gay couple to move onto Wisteria Lane this season.

"Housewives" creator Marc Cherry, holding forth at an ABC party on The Very Last Night of the 2007 Summer Press Tour, sprinkled this tidbit like a few flakes of fish food on the surface of an aquarium, and several of us quickly rose to grab it.

Seems Teri Hatcher's character, Susan, while trying to bend over backward to be politically correct, is going to have problems with one of the new neighbors.

Hatcher, arriving a few minutes later, overheard me asking Cherry about the couple and expressed surprise.

Cherry hadn't yet told her. And no, she didn't seem to mind hearing it from us.

In fact, as he continued to talk -- and spill a few more plot points -- Hatcher looked as if she were enjoying herself, describing the experience of hearing Cherry crediting her with the original idea for last season's very small wedding as being like "therapy."
