Jesse Metcalfe Gets Desperate

For all of you Desperate Housewives fans out there, I have some great news for you! Jesse Metcalfe (better known as John Rowland, the teenage gardener that Eva Longoria’s Gabrielle was having an affair with) is coming back to Desperate Housewives in the series’ fourth episode, TV Guide reports.

Well, woo hoo! I was just sitting around the other day, talking to my friends saying “You know what I think Desperate Housewives needs this season? It needs Jesse Metcalfe to come back to the show. That would really make the show interesting again. Forget fake pregnancies or supermarket shootouts or attempted suicides or any of that... bring back the hot gardener!”

For those of you who might not have guessed, that was me being sarcastic.

What’s worse is the storyline they have set up for Metcalfe. His character, John, comes back into Gabrielle’s life to tell her he wants her back. Apparently his marriage is a sham - Wait, hold on. He got married? Why do I not remember that? Probably because it wasn’t important or I just didn’t care - and he wants Gabrielle (again!).

An affair with John might prove difficult, even for someone as experienced as Gabrielle, however. She is currently married to Victor, the jerk who only married her to gain the “Latina” vote in an upcoming election for governor. On top of that mess, she’s also entangled in one affair - with her ex-husband Carlos.

Will Gabrielle be able to handle a marriage and an affair two men? I don’t know. She’s a very small woman!

Tune in on Sunday, September 30 at 9:00 p.m. to catch the 4th season premiere of Desperate Housewives.
