<b>2. What crazy things will Christine be up to this season?</b> Well, she's even more frantic than ever, and she's going down a number of roads, including plastic surgery, and she's going to consider going to a drug dealer. You know, the life of a working, divorced mom, but more self-deprecating, more frantic, and more desperate behavior on her part.

<b>4. You and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/blair-underwood/72431' target='_blank'>Blair Underwood</a> (Mr. Harris) have great chemistry. Was it planned that his character would be around this long? </b> He's a hottie. It was meant to be ongoing, but it became even more ongoing because he's so marvelous. We were just so grateful to get him. He was the absolute first choice for the role, and we were over the moon when he agreed to do it.

<b>5. You walked the picket line during the writer's strike. What was that like?</b> We [picketed] a <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/desperate-housewives/379235/main' target='_blank'>'Desperate Housewives'</a> location shoot. We started out with about 20 picketers, and it grew until we had, I would say, 150 people out there. We were preventing them from shooting; the writers were saying things like, "<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/marcia-cross/15919' target='_blank'>Marcia,</a> don't Cross that picket line" and "We write the story-a for <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/eva-longoria/392381' target='_blank'>Eva Longoria.</a>"

<b>6. Word is you had an <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/eva-longoria/392381' target='_blank'>Eva Longoria</a> encounter.</b> We're picketing for hours and all of a sudden, Eva Longoria comes out... she'd been shooting and so she's in hair and makeup and wardrobe, and she looks absolutely stunning. And all the cameras come out, and I'm in my yoga pants ... and my hair is just pulled back and frizzy, and I've got no makeup on, except maybe ChapStick. She starts [by saying that] she feels terrible about people being put out of work during the strike and she appreciates what the writers are striking for, and then she starts to cry ... everybody's heart [is] breaking. And she starts passing out pizza. For a moment, I was sort of the It Girl for the writers ... that changed the minute Eva walked out. [Laughs]
