Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:

== Main Characters ==

=== Susan Delfino (Teri Hatcher) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Susan is just as bitchy as the other Housewives, yet she's the one who tends to get away with it because of how "cute" and "klutzy" she is.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Is incredibly unlucky, romantic issues, liver issues, being forced out of the lane, and friendship troubles in the last season and not being able to deal with things in the final season.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Occasionally.
{{quote|'''Edie:''' "I have a husband now."
'''Susan:''' "Really? Who's?"}}
* [[The Ditz]]: To a ridiculous extent.
* [[Flanderization]]: From Season Two onward, contributing to her being [[The Scrappy|the scrappy.]]
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Sanguine.
* [[Hot Mom]]: To Julie and to MJ.
* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: While Teri Hatcher is very pretty, the other housewives are equally or even more so; yet Susan has the most men fawning over how 'hot' she is.
* [[The Klutz]]: Firmly cemented as this when one of her first actions in the series was accidentally burning down someone's house.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Though she occasionally [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|gets rescued from the scrappy heap.]]
* [[The Woobie]]: And ''how''.

=== Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Convenient Miscarriage]]}}: An odd example that is both played straight ''and'' subverted in that {{spoiler|because she was pregnant with twins, only one of them died in-utero}}.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Flanderization]]: Season 5 and 7. ''So very much.''
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Phlegmatic (without the laziness).
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Her increased cup size due to her pregnancy in Season 6 became a fodder for some jokes.
* [[Law of Inverse Fertility]]
* [[Mama Bear]]
* [[Team Mom]]
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Lynette has always been kinda controlling, but nearing the end of Season Seven,{{spoiler|manipulating Tom into walking out on Carlos, using increasingly manipulative and shrewish behavior crossed a few lines}}.

=== Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[The Alcoholic]]: In Season 2, plus the occasional relapse. {{spoiler|There was her slip during the time jump, and Bree's current arc has her falling off the wagon. Hard}}.
* [[Badass]]: When it comes to guns. Also when she kicks her son Andrew's bedroom door in when she finds out he is at a strip club.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: If something traumatic is going to happen to one of the leading females in the cast, it is inevitably going to be Bree.
* [[Cartwright Curse]]: One surefire way to predict if a male character is going to die is judged by one question: Is he Bree's love interest? So far, the one--''one''—love interest she's had who ''didn't'' end up dead by the end of the affair is {{spoiler|Orson}} who ends up in a wheelchair for life by the end of the relationship. In comparison to the others, he got off lucky.
** [[Lampshaded]] in a Season Five promo, where the paper boy recaps the events of the past four seasons, and ends his recap of Bree with "I hope Orson doesn't die, too."
** She even lampshades it herself during Season 7:
{{quote|'''Bree:''' My track record with lovers... two dead, one in a wheelchair.}}
* [[Control Freak]]: And ''how''.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|During Season 8, with her ex-boyfriend cop harassing her (and explicitly doing it in order to make her feel miserable) and the loss of her friends, Bree relapses into alcoholism, and in the 9th episode, she ends up alone in a hotel room, with only a bottle of wine and a ''gun'', speaking to an imaginary Mary Alice and contemplating the idea of suicide}}.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Averted, thanks to Renee}}.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: When she wants to be.
* [[The Fifties]]: Her look, more so in the earlier series: A-line skirts and dresses, twin-sets with pearls, white gloves, her "flip" hair-do etc.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Melancholic.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Her mother died traumatically when she was 5 and her stepmother was a distant and unloving woman.
* [[Housewife]]: Obviously. She's the most classic example in the series and evokes the archetypal 1950's housewife.
* [[Iron Woobie]]: More like ''adamant'' woobie. She lost 3 husbands and 2 boyfriends, her son hated her with passion for several seasons, her daughter doesn't like her much either, and she succumbed to alcoholism. She managed to get back on her feet each time, despite the odds, the people, and the ''universe'' working against her. {{spoiler|That is, until Season 8, when she finally snaps, and is on the verge of suicide a la Mary Alice by the end of the 9th episode}}.
* [[Lady Drunk]]: {{spoiler|During Season 8, the tension between the girls became so high that she ended becoming their scapegoat, and finally they abandoned her. She then relapses ''hard'' into alcoholism. She was on the verge of suicide, but is stopped just in time, thanks to the intervention of Renee. Now, she views herself as lost, not knowing anymore who she is. Slowly, she is deconstructing herself, and is becoming [[Really Gets Around|''easy'']], something she ''acknowledges''. She didn't even deny when an angry spouse called her a whore (truth to be told, she was quite drunk at that time, but she doesn't seems to care at all, if the end of the 12th episode is any indication)}}.
* [[Love Hurts]]: Despite the perfect facade, she is consistently unlucky in love.
{{quote|'''Rex Van De Kamp:''' Bree, I can't live in this detergent commercial anymore!}}
* [[Neat Freak]]
* [[The Perfectionist]]: Especially in the first season, when she couldn't even stand the sight of a loose button.
* [[Pretty in Mink]]
* [[Proper Lady]]: Deconstructed since the very first episode.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: {{spoiler|Yes, you read that right. During Season 8, she relapses into alcoholism, and began to date a lot in bars. However, what was only a brief experience became an habit, and it becomes clear that she has a different man each night in her bed. When she is confronted by an angry spouse (because she had sex with her husband) in the middle of the church during the 12th episode, she doesn't deny it. Worse: she actually acknowledges it, and is on her way to embrace this way of life}}.
* [[Sexy Coat Flashing]]
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: The other housewives have ''traces'' of this, but Bree is ''the'' ultimate Stepford Smiler of the show. Her own son calls her out on it in the pilot, saying she acts like she's running for Mayor of Stepford.
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]
* [[Super OCD]]: There were hints of this, especially in the early seasons, but it was never explored very much. She also referred to her quirks in terms of "anal retentiveness" and not "obsessive compulsiveness".
* [[Team Mom]]

=== Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: How many times has she learned being a better person is more important than having material possessions or looking pretty?
* [[Book Dumb]]: Especially when it comes to geography (she thinks [[You Fail Geography Forever|Argentina is beside Romania]]).
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Choleric.
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: All the characters seem to notice a massive decline in Gabrielle's appearance over time, while the audience certainly doesn't. We're really supposed to believe someone as gorgeous as Eva Longoria looks ''bad'' in sweats?
* [[Hot Mom]]: To Juanita {{spoiler|who was switched at birth with another girl, thus explaining why they don't look anything like each other}}, and Celia.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Mr. Vice Guy|Mrs Vice Gal]]: Openly vain, materialistic and immature but a loyal friend and (eventually) loving wife and mother.
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Her "bitch" status [[Depending on the Writer|depends on the writer]].
* [[Spicy Latina]]: A ''subversion'' believe or not. Yes Gabby is sexy and she certainly has the temper but she lacks the stereotypical accent, can't speak Spanish and as several episodes have shown is indifferent at best towards her Hispanic heritage.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: When it comes to material possessions.
* [[Volleying Insults]]: She and Carlos do this a lot, and were at their most tempestuous in the early seasons.

=== Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[The Artifact]]: By the end of Season 2, all of her story lines had been wrapped up pretty much, and there really was no particular point to her character anymore other than simply being the narrator (of mysteries unrelated to her).
** Paul's return in Season 7 subverted this.
* [[Blackmail]]: Which sadly leads to...
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Which sets off the entire storyline of the seminal first season, and part of the second.
* [[Mysterious Past]]
* [[Narrator]]
* [[Near-Death Clairvoyance]]
* [[Posthumous Character]]
* [[Villainy Discretion Shot]]: Apparently both the writers and the other characters have forgotten Mary Alice {{spoiler|killed her adopted son's birth mother}}.


==  Other Housewives ==

=== Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
{{quote|"Well, someone's gotta say it - Susan, what the hell have you been smoking?"}}
* [[Grumpy Bear]]
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]: Knows how to use them to get her own way.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Ladette]]: She drinks beer, hates all that lovey dovey stuff and just wants some no-strings sex.
* [[Love It or Hate It]]
* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: In Season Four, Edie is ''unusually'' vicious about keeping Carlos in her hands, {{spoiler|attempting suicide, even when she was certain he'd rescue her in time}} is kind of a big leap for her.
* [[Really Gets Around]]

=== Karen McCluskey (Kathryn Joosten) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Cool Old Lady]]: After all, she's portrayed by Kathryn Joosten.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
{{quote|'''Karen''': ''(to Lynette)'' No offense, but you should be sterilized.}}
* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Son]]: The event that probably turned her into a bitter loner.
* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: Subverted.

=== Katherine Mayfair (Dana Delany) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[The Artifact]]: In Season Six, the writers didn't really know what to do with her after {{spoiler|Mike marries Susan}}. So she ends up going through various hysterics that were almost completely irrelevant to the rest of the season's plot, before {{spoiler|randomly finding out she's a lesbian and leaving for Paris with her new ex-stripper lover}}.
* [[Back for the Finale]]
* [[Mysterious Past]]
* [[Put on a Bus]]
* [[Villainy Discretion Shot]]: Was gratuitously cruel to her dying aunt and treated her daughter poorly before her secret was revealed and she joined the core group.
* [[Yandere]]: In Season 6, towards Mike.
** She's practically a poster child. She got increasingly insane in the first half of the season, but then regained sanity later. {{spoiler|Turned out she's much more sane in a lesbian relationship}}.

=== Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Dark Secret]]: She keeps her mentally challenged son Caleb in the basement since he's suspected of {{spoiler|killing Melanie Foster in a fit or rage}}.
* [[Put on a Bus]]
* [[Token Minority]]

=== Angie Bolen aka Angela DeLuca (Drea De Matteo) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: After all, {{spoiler|she's a former eco-terrorist with a specialization in explosives}}.
* [[Italians Talk with Hands]]: She gesticulates more than the other housewives, though not on a caricature level.
* [[Mama Bear]]
* [[Put on a Bus]]
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: She has a wide scar on her back, and she's very careful not to show it.


== The Families ==

=== Mike Delfino (James Denton) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Back for the Finale]]}}
* [[Badass]]: Well, as close as anyone gets on this program.
* [[Hot Dad]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]
* [[Nice Guy]]: Compared to the other husbands, at least.
* [[Papa Wolf]]

=== Tom Scavo (Doug Savant) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Fan Service]]: His thong scene.
* [[Flanderization]]: Both he and his wife suffered this ''a lot'' in Season Five, going from a couple that had their problems but could still work through them together, to a "couple" that argued every other episode over the smallest most insignificant problems (well, insignificant compared to a tornado, a psychopathic child from a previous relationship, and cancer).
* [[Henpecked Husband]]
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: One episode of Season Six had Tom wanting to get plastic surgery to remove the large amount of wrinkles on his face. Coincidentally, that was the only episode that season where Tom's actor wore fake wrinkle makeup. Even though he chose against the surgery, he still looks ten years younger again the next episode.
* [[Hot Dad]]
* [[Papa Wolf]]

=== Carlos Solis (Ricardo Antonio Chavira) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''

* [[Overprotective Dad|Overprotective Uncle]]: To Ana.
* [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry]]:
{{quote|'''Gabrielle''': Go on, go all cholo on his ass!}}

=== Orson Hodge (Kyle MacLachlan) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Affably Evil]]: The "evil" part is subverted once it turns out that {{spoiler|he didn't kill his wife}}. However, in Season 8, he's clearly this.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: His mother made him think {{spoiler|he had led his father to suicide}}, he was institutionalized after falling into depression, he got his mistress {{spoiler|killed by his mother}} and managed to save his wife from a similar death at the last moment. Not to mention that his [[Yandere|first ex-wife]] ''drugged'' and ''raped'' him. Once things seemed to be settled, he went into prison and lost his job as a dentist, his wife cheated on him and he ended up {{spoiler|paralyzed}} in a plane crash.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: In Season 8.
* [[Death Seeker]]: Briefly during Season 6.
* [[Gentleman Snarker]]
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: During Season 5.
* [[Keeping Secrets Sucks]]

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: During Season 6, when it seemed Bree was replacing Andrew with the son she always wanted.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: During Season 8, he comes back to his mother's house... And then nothing. He completely disappears from the radar, and isn't even present during the season finale. Please note that he should be living with his mother at this point, in her house, while she's {{spoiler|put on trial}}. But he doesn't show up at all, not even for {{spoiler|the trial}}. It seems that the scenarists completely forgot his existence.

=== Danielle Van De Kamp (Joy Lauren) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Brainless Beauty]]: As summed up by her own mother:
{{quote|'''Bree:''' When I was young, my stepmother told me that I was very lucky. I possessed beauty, wit, cunning, and insight. These were weapons all women needed to survive in the world.
'''Danielle:''' So?
'''Bree:''' So take good care of your looks, Danielle. You don’t have any other weapons at your disposal.}}
** Also:
{{quote|'''Danielle:''' Benjamin's already reading at a third grade level.
'''Bree:''' So what are you going to do next year when he overtakes you?}}
* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: And how.
* [[Hot for Teacher]]: For two episodes in Season Three, done out of spite more than anything else.

** And if she hadn't, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant (assuming she wasn't already pregnant at the time, that is).

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Faux Yay]]: Lee pretends to be straight in one episode in Gabrielle's scheme to catch her housemate in the act of soliciting sex.
* [[Invisible to Gaydar]]: Bob is a tad more masculine than Lee, but they both act like your average middle aged man.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: There are exactly two men in this show that are sane and normal and without any drama in their lives. They are married to each other.
* [[Pet Homosexual]]: Much to their frustration, the housewives always invite them over when they need some gay friends.
