Housewives Desperate For Ratings?

Here we go again! It wasn't too long ago that Desperate Housewives actresses Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher shared an on screen kiss, a clever way to boost the ratings. But now its getting steamy on Wisteria Lane once again. Actress Dana Delaney will be sharing a kiss with Housewives new comer Julie Benz, who appropriately is playing a stripper that Teri Hatcher's Susan takes in.

Now of course I have no problem with this, its Desperate Housewives! If there weren't any girl-on-girl kisses I'd be worried the writers weren't caring enough. But is this just another ratings ploy? The news isn't getting the same amount of buzz back when Longoria and Hatcher kissed, most probably because they are respectively the two most sought after Housewives. But never did I think Desperate Housewives were um..desperate for the ratings? It remains to be a hit show, and despite not being the ratings killer it once was it still produces decent ratings that should keep ABC exec's happy.

But  in all honestly, when 'stunts' like this are on a show, can it be called a ratings ploy or is it really the writers coming up with good storylines? Well thinking back on the Gaby and Susan kiss, nothing ever came from it, will this one be any different?
