I hav e never watched Desperate Housewives and I have no idea why it’s a big deal that Mike is just still a plumber..but apparently its so awful that it’s caused Teri Hatcher’s character to get really heavy.

Teri Hatcher looked like she’d gained more than a few pounds over the holidays on Sunday night’s episode of ‘Desperate Housewives.’ Lucky for Teri, that’s just because she was wearing a fat suit for a hypothetical flash forward sequence set 20 years in the future.

In the scene Susan Meyer has stayed with her ex-husband, Karl, and she comfort eats her way through revelations of his infidelity. Here she shares a scene with Mike, who is still just her plumber.
