Busy actor Tuc Watkins signs a contract for the upcoming season of “Desperate Housewives”

There’s a good chance that Tuc Watkins will be getting more screen time when Desperate Housewives returns for its seventh season in the fall.

Tuc, so wonderfully delicious all these years as David Vickers on One Life to Live, has played the recurring role of Bob Harper on Housewives on 2007. Bob has been one-half of the gay couple on Wisteria Lane married to Lee (Kevin Rahm) who left Bob at the end of last season.

Not sure of Kevin will be back but I’m damned glad Tuc will and, hopefully, will get the kinds of storylines he is so capable of doing.

I’d like to suggest that Bob and Andrew Van de Kamp get together! It was rumored a few seasons back but did not happen. I think Tuc and the talented Shawn Pyfrom could be very fun together.

Tuc is currently juggling an off-Broadway play with his role on the daytime soap. AfterElton’s Gays of Our Lives column reports that he will reportedly exit the soap in mid-July and report to the set of DH.
