Watch: Jesse Metcalfe Addresses Rumored 'Desperate Housewives' Cast DramaJesse Metcalfe was desperately unaware of any on-set drama. Indeed, the Desperate Housewives alum insisted he was "oblivious" to the rumored tension between his costars-including Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Nicollette Sheridan, Marcia Cross and Teri Hatcher-while he was playing teenage gardener John Roland on the ABC soap opera. "There's a lot of stories about all the drama on that set between some of our lead females," Jesse said while appearing on a recent panel, per People.
