From lawsuits, to bullying, theDesperate Housewivesset was nothing short of messy.

But what should have been an exciting achievement didnt exactly go as planned.

Secrets and truths unfold through the lives of female friends in one suburban neighborhood after the mysterious suicide of a neighbor.

But there was one mandatory rule that really caught the eye of the Vanity Fair team.

That woman is Teri Hatcher, who plays Susan on the show.

Cross reportedly went to the publicity coordinator and berated him for allowing such a thing to happen.

Unintentionally, of course, but nonetheless a stir.

The shoot was so bad in fact that ABC released a statement in regard to it.

This one isolated incident does not define these women or their relationship.

It’s so long ago, the actual incident, and I wasn’t on set when it happened.

Something happened on set regarding them doing a scene.

She was doing a scene, and … he was showing her how to do a scene.

Honestly, I wish I knew what happened.

During that time too, I didn’t work with Nicollette’s character.

Thank you for a magical 8 years.

Felicity was the first one to take me under her wing.

Her gentle character and kind heart immediately opened up to me.

She approached me, introduced herself and said, Dont be scared, we will get through this together.

There was a time when I was being bullied at work by a co-worker.

I dreaded the days I had to work with that person because it was pure torture.

Until one day, Felicity told the bully enough and it all stopped.

I know I would not have survived those 10 years if it wasnt for the friendship of Felicity.

She was a big star with some big behavioral problems.

Cherry said of the unnamed star.

Everyone tried their darndest to get along with this woman over the course of the show.

And things went from bad to worse.

I found out about this and asked Felicity about it.

“Id be the first one to sign up.

Id probably be the only one.

“I always tell Marc, So, you wouldnt do a reboot?

He just thinks we have fully mined those characters.

He doesnt know what else there is to say about those characters.”
