There was a reason Teri Hatcher and James Denton had such a sizzling connection on “Desperate Housewives” and were able to bring it back so easily for their Hallmark roles. When asked by People if they ever had an “innocent crush with each other,” Hatcher quipped, “Well, mine wasn’t innocent.” Denton laughed and admitted, “The answer is yes, absolutely.” He had previously shared that it was hard to not slip back into his “Desperate Housewives” character Mike Delfino and move in for a kiss since the Hallmark Channel is more family-friendly. “That’s what I did for eight years,” Denton said.
Their bedroom scenes for Hallmark definitely aren’t as hot and heavy anymore. Denton shared on Good Morning America that Hatcher filmed in a set of pajamas with long sleeves and pants. “I’m like, ‘We’re not on Wisteria Lane anymore.’ Very different bedroom scene than we were used to doing, but maybe it was more age-appropriate,” he stated. And, while his “Desperate Housewives” character got killed off, Denton loved going out with a literal bang. Hatcher, on the other hand, revealed, “I didn’t really see it that way. I was crying for days and days.” Although the two had not-so-innocent crushes on each other, the reason they kept things on a friendship level was probably due to one of them being wifed up.
