Is this show never referred to as a soap opera? Why, for all the world, not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tonygumbrell ( talk • contribs) 04:00, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
My understanding, after participating in debate about spoilers, is that in the CAST section, female characters are to be listed under their maiden name only, so their marriage is not spoiled. For many years this has been the case, but I see now all female characters have all last names listed, which is not how it should be. I would have to find the article but I know for a fact it was agreed nowhere on any media page, not just this one, that marriages of characters are not to be spoiled in the cast sections. I went ahead and removed the married names from female characters in the cast list. Daleylife ( talk) 22:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
The List of Desperate Housewives characters is in desperate need of a couple of cast tables – one for the main cast, and one for recurring cast. The cast table for 'Main' cast should be moved from this article to List of Characters article, and then a cast table for the 'Recurring' section created there too.
Note that this is in better accordance with MOS:TVCAST as well. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 01:35, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
