What keeps us watching addictive TV like "Desperate Housewives" is stars like Teri Hatcher.

The response from fans to the show must be huge, because ABC just gave Teri a raise for the second season - a very cool $285,000 per episode.
This is a 10-fold increase on her salary for the first season, and co-stars Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan have also been rewarded for the program's success.
Hatcher was paid $38,000 per episode for the first season, while her lesser female co-stars earned only $1,800 per episode.
Teri's shy charm and nervousness is compelling and real. A show insider says of Teri, "She has undoubtedly turned out to be the star of the show. Men find her sexy and women want to be like her."
, I'm looking forward to the new stuff coming up with Teri's character, Susan. Bob Newhart will guest star in an upcoming episode of "Desperate Housewives" entitled "Children Will Listen," and recently film his role on Wisteria Lane. Newhart appears as Morty, the estranged boyfriend of Susan's mom, Sophie (Lesley Ann Warren). Susan hopes to get Morty and her mom back together to prevent Sophie from moving in with her. The episode airs in April.
