to be in love with Tom Scavo?

[CallmeMrsScavo]

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?

Wasnt he a cheater?

I always thought that Tom was a nasty manipulative creep! Loads of passive aggressive wining and emotional blackmail... yuk. The plumber was totally hot though!

Omg Yes to this thread.

Ok, I don’t actually like Mike at all. I find him moody and grumpy and boring and meh. I preferred that posh English bloke Susan got off with while mike was in a coma. Remember how much of a dick Mike was to Susan when he woke up and was shagging Edie right in front of her face? Wanker.

I love Carlos. He’s so lovely.

Brew is my fave though, she gets a raw deal in my opinion

I always liked Tom but we were watching Lucifer the other day and the actor was in it looking older (obviously) and my dh commented that he looked like my dad - funnily enough gone off him now 🤢

Noooo Mike all the way! He could come and sort out my plumbing any day of the week.

OMG I'm so sorry!!! Haha but yes very old (but wonderful) series.

defo mike

This is weird, I’m currently rewatching DH too and just watched ep 3 of season 6 today! 😂

To be honest I wouldn’t kick any of the leading men out of bed (even Orson has a kind of charm about him in the earlier seasons), though I think Mike would be top of my list, love the Southern accent! When I watched it first time around I was in my early 20’s so it would have been John Rowland for me then 🤤

It’s been ages since I watched it so I may be wrong, but I think you’ll be rethinking your assessment of his loyalty soon!

Haha I think I liked Mike when I originally watched it years ago, but watching it now as a mother/wife (am currently rewatching) I appreciate Tom much more!

I always thought Tom was a bit annoying. Maybe I should re-watch with these reviews. Mike is very watchable...

We need a DH revival thread! Remember when Carlos hooked up the blonde one and she became obsessed with him?

Just wait until you get introduced to Keith.. 🥵

Tom was a moaning loser! Everything was about him and then he took off and had an affair. Mike is way hotter and a nice guy.

@Gertie75

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.

You'll have to fight me for Mr Winchester although I wouldn't mind his dad either

@ThistleWitch

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

This! YABU, Tom is a petulant child.

I'm watching it now. I'm on season 6...

It's Mike for me.

I don't get the Tom Sacco attraction but I just watched an episode where they hinted at Tom being hot

Mike was lovely but I truly never understood why he was with Susan. She was a hapless, whining pain in the arse.

I'll have Mike and Tom at the same time

One of the Scavo twins (grown up version) was in Ratchet. He's good-looking too.

Want Tom a cheater? Or am I remembering wrong?

i had to look it up, but he hooked up with Renee when he and Lynette were engaged, and also had a daughter Kayla with Nora (*who got shot by Rosannes Sister/Sheldons Mum)

Mike. Spoiler but tom is a bit of a pig a bit later on if i remember rightly

Tom is a giant man baby! He looks good but that’s about it. Mike all the way.

Tom by a long shot!

YAB very U, he's a useless, whiny fool with the occasional small moment of redemption.

I'm on season 8 now of my epic lockdown Despo rewatch and he's as insufferable as ever. The most annoying character in a show that gave us Susan Mayer, quite the achievement.

Bree is obviously the MVP, but if I had to pick a man, it'd be Mike. Though I quite enjoyed Karl this time around, so perhaps there's something wrong with me...
