I didn’t know this. According to Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cheery, he originally intended to have Katherine (Dana Delaney) marry Mike (James Denton) in the season 6 opener. However, going around, he changed his mind and instead decided to have Susan (Teri Hatcher) tie the knot lest he incur the fury of fans. “I originally was going to have Mike marry Katherine, but as I went out into the world on vacation and just started talking to people they were so determined that

Mike and Susan should get together; they were so insistent on it. So I started to think, ‘What if I went that way?’ And it occurred to me that it might be a more effective way to go as opposed to frustrating the fans for another year by keeping Mike and Susan apart. The fans demanded it in a voice so loud I was kind of scared to go against them.”
