Lesley Ann Warren, who recently made her debut as Susan Mayer's mother Sophie Bremmer, has spoken about the positive atmosphere on the Desperate Housewives set.

"I can tell you there is no weirdness, nothing at all," Warren told TV Guide. "There's absolutely no truth to the rumors [that the women don't get along] ... believe me, these women are out of their minds with happiness and gratitude. They are clear that this is an amazing gift."

Warren echoed these thoughts in separate interview with ETonline.com. "They're so generous and so loving," she said, talking of the cast. "When I walked in the makeup trailer and Teri [Hatcher] was there, she was so sweet and so acknowledging. All the women were like that."

Meanwhile, Bob Newhart who landed the role of Sophie's estranged boyfriend Morty, said he flattered to be cast. "[My agent] said, 'Here's the script and they want you specifically. They admire your work,'" he told Chicago Tribune. "I read it and I liked it and I thought 'Well, they could have just about anybody they wanted, I guess.' The fact that they wanted me, I found very flattering."

Creator Marc Cherry said he was happy to have Newhart on the show. "The real thrill was finding out he was just as nice as he is talented," said Cherry. "We plan on having him back as many times as he'll let us."
