After a woeful second season, it's commonly thought that Desperate Housewives really hit its stride again in season three, or at least it did until the ginger one from Desperate Housewives was ordered to stay in bed because she's dangerously full of babies.
Marcia Cross is pregnant with twins. This alone must have made it difficult to film Marcia's Desperate Housewives scenes without her belly suddenly expanding and knocking a vase of the mantelpiece, or without a jet of breast milk shooting out of her nipples and getting Teri Hatcher in the eye, but now filming Marcia Cross has just become almost impossible, because a doctor has ordered Marcia Cross to stay in bed until she stops being so chuffing pregnant. The Desperate Housewives producers are getting around this by filming Marcia Cross' remaining scenes in bed, which – given that the last time Marcia Cross was in bed on Desperate Housewives she was having cunnilingus performed on her – should be a real thrill for all those middle-aged, ginger and heavily pregnant porn fetishists out there.
There always seems to be a constant struggle amongst the Desperate Housewives ladies about who can get in the press the most. Some of them are useless – getting nominated for an Oscar? Becoming engaged to Michael Bolton? Please – but some of them are slightly more competitive. Teri Hatcher, for example, is happy to put shards of glass in her eye and talk about van sex to get more publicity, but she's always outfoxed by Eva Longoria who can bust up her body, brag about her bald genitals and then get engaged to some bloke for good measure.
But Marcia Cross… Marcia Cross blows them all out of the water. If Marcia Cross isn't taking naked pictures of herself and leaving them laying around, she's getting married or having people coo over her lovely hair. And if Marcia Cross isn't doing any of those then she's getting pregnant. And not just your normal pregnant, either – Marcia Cross got pregnant with twins. Twins so enormous that she's not even allowed to stand up any more, as Reuters reports:
Marcia Cross, who is expecting twins, has been placed on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy, forcing production of her hit TV show to shift into her real-life living room. At the end of this week, the "Housewives" production crew will take over the downstairs of Cross' west Los Angeles home for two days to shoot the last two episodes that she was planning to appear in this season, an ABC network spokesman said on Wednesday. Cross, 44, moved into the house just months ago with her stockbroker husband, Tom Mahoney, whom she married in June of last year. Her publicist, Heidi Slan, confirmed that doctors had placed Cross on bed rest last week, but added, "This is a precautionary move only" due to her pregnancy with twins.
While this new development means that there's going to be a lot of fun trying to spot which Desperate Housewives scenes were filmed in a set and which were filmed in Marcia Cross' own house, we're near-certain that Marcia Cross won't approve of the new neighbour moved into her street to add realism into the scenes – it's a bit-part actor who runs around with his penis exposed.

You don’t have breasts full of milk until you’re actually breastfeeding, even if you’re “chuffing full of babies”!
Seeing as Marcia has not yet birthed her twins, I think it’s safe to say her breasts are not squirting milk yet. But just you wait!
