Over the first season, Rex and Bree had their ups and downs, but each time Bree moved away, Rex reeled her in and vice versa. Though Rex tried to buy his childrens affection, solicited prostitutuion, hid his sexual fetish, and meddled in Bree's dating life, he always seemed oddly right for Bree. This is what made their strange love affair so captivating.
"I feel bad for him," says Cherry, "because he has done so many horrible things to Bree. He is so reviled across the country. But Steven Culp, fortunately, has had a really good time doing it, and I've always been very appreciative of that."
When Bree lost him at the end of season 1, the audience couldn't help but feel sad for her. A new chapter of her life was about to begin, but she had lost her first and only love. She might find other men, but she will never find another Rex.
Rex Van de Kamp has surprised us more than any other man on Wisteria Lane. The staid, WASP-y doctor has turned out to be a submissive john with a penchant for being handcuffed to the bed.
Complexed and troubled, Rex was nonetheless in love with Bree, even if he couldn't admit it sometimes. At first it seemed all their marital problems were Bree's fault, but quickly it became clear that Rex was the truely elusive partner. Rex was the one who couldn't open up fully, sexually, because he was afraid to tell Bree just what he liked. Her openess and persistence forced him to admit to his prefrences-and when he did he seemed like a liberated man.
