Cross wants 'Housewives' stories to connect again

You can count Marcia Cross among the fans of "Desperate Housewives" who want the characters' stories to connect again.

"I think it would be nice if we start spending a little more time together," said Cross, who plays Bree on the hit ABC series.

"I think in the first few episodes (of the second season) we weren't, but that wasn't anything sort of set in stone, it's just sometimes things just evolve," the 43-year-old actress told AP Radio recently from Beverly Hills, Calif.

Cross said there are scenes that haven't aired yet, and she's not worried about the backlash from viewers and critics.

"You know what, with a show that's successful that's bound to happen, so it'll pass," she said.
