to be in love with Tom Scavo?

I've recently been watching Desperate Housewives on Prime - and I'm in love with Tom. He's beyond sexy. But all my friends who've seen DH prefer Mike!!
Got me wondering: Tom or Mike?
And, which TV characters is everyone else in love with?

Tom is sexy, but can’t beat Mike Delfino I’m afraid!

LoseLooseLucy · 16/10/2020 14:55

Would’ve been Mike out of those two, but the gardener for a roll in the hay.

Gertie75 · 16/10/2020 14:55

Definitely Mike, he has a German shepherd too which makes him even more perfect.

My favourite character (and future husband) is Dean Winchester from Supernatural.

Really though?! Tom plays two instruments, he's professionally successful, he's aggressively loyal, he's handsome and smart and he's funny. He's an incredible dad. I'd do heftily inappropriate things to him.

I watched DH when it was out originally but I've just watched the final two seasons again, and Tom gets better I swear! In the last season he is so hot!

I love Mike though. Why would they kill him Sad

Lightningrain · 16/10/2020 14:57

Mike for me but wouldn’t say no to Tom.

I now want to watch Desperate Housewives again. It’s years since I’ve seen it.

Oh no! 😬 is it your first time watching?!

Yeah. I'm on season 6. Just don't tell me HOW he dies and I'll be ok. Haha

Funnily enough, I'm in the process of rewatching Desperate Housewives and, OP, you are totally correct about Tom Scavo. Mike is hot, but he does have neanderthal moments which don't do it for me.

Yeah, exactly that. All of Mike's masculine moments are him storming off somewhere. Tom's masculine moments are sexxxxyyyy.

I wouldn't complain about spoilers from a show that ended 10 years ago - the risk of posting on a public forum Grin I always refuse to google anything about a show until i'm up to date/finished it

I know, it's my own stupid fault. Although, it's a bit of a teaser spoiler because now I have to keep watching to see it happen.

Yeah. Tom Scavo all the way.

dawnc27 · 16/10/2020 15:18

season 6 you say, have you watched ep3? i love how he hides lynettes secret and him trying to say the dog breed name
i like mike but deffo tom for me

markzuckerbergsgreytshirt · 16/10/2020 15:19

Well you can all keep Tom and Mike and I will have Carlos Smile

I can't decide about Carlos. There are times he's great and loyal and loving and then there are other times when he just does unforgivable things (like forcing Gabi to sign the post-nup before he goes to prison)

I’m currently on season 6, episode 2.

Love Tom Scavo, never got the Mike thing, even Orson is hotter than Mike!

3rd time around for me, still love it!

Orson gives me the ick.

YANBU, he's lovely!

SassenachWitch · 16/10/2020 15:33

I also loved Carl, such a sleaze, but so charming 😂

Graphista · 16/10/2020 16:11

When I was younger it would have been Mike, now I'm older and value different qualities it would be Tom.

But my fictional fantasy husband would actually be Leo wyatt from charmed (sorry piper!)

Carlos is an abusive creep! Have you forgotten the times he physically hurt Gabriella? He pretty much always treats her like shit except when he's blind (and even then he had his shit moments!)

ThistleWitch · 16/10/2020 17:39

Yeah, I want a man that undermines my, gives up a well paying job to open a business that loses money. Wont take a job reporting to his wife, wont help her when she needs it (she's just as bad, Lynette is a controlling nightmare)

Orsen is totally the ick

Mike is the best, honest, no 'side' to him

smalalalalalala · 16/10/2020 17:39

I used to love Tom, but now I find him a bit helpless if Lynette is not behind him.

Never understood the thing with Mike nor Susan, she's so helpless !
