LOS ANGELES - Move over “Desperate Housewives,” and bring on the desperate house-husbands.

“One Life To Live’s” Tuc Watkins has signed up to partner with Kevin Rahm formerly of “Judging Amy,” as Wisteria Lane’s first gay couple.

The recurring roles, according to TV Guide, will find Watkins and Rahm playing a couple who are moving from the big city to a smaller, homelier place. Watkins’ character Bob is more of a “country mouse,” while Rahm’s character Lee is his “bitchy partner,” the mag notes.
