Actors confirmed for 'Housewives' gay couple
Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm have signed up to play a gay couple on the new season of Desperate Housewives.

Watkins, known for his roles on Showtime series Beggars and Choosers and ABC soap opera One Life To Live, and Rahm, who starred alongside Jude Law in Alfie, will join Wisteria Lane as new residents in season four.

Show creator Marc Cherry announced his plans to introduce a gay couple earlier this month, adding that one of the men would have a "hateful" relationship with Susan Mayer.

Desperate Housewives returns to US screens on September 30.
