Desperate Housewives alum Teri Hatcher took a walk down memory lane as she shared two snaps of her and co-star James Denton on Instagram on Thursday.
One photo showed Hatcher, 60, and Denton, 62, as they are now while sitting side by side on a red couch on an outdoor balcony with a cityscape behind them.
A beaming Hatcher was dressed in athletic attire including striped black leggings and black tank top and trainers. Her shoulder-length hair was parted to the side and she was a natural beauty with minimal makeup, and she had her hand placed on his arm in a doting manner.
Denton sported jeans and button-down blue shirt and boots, and just a hint of beard, which added to his rugged appeal.
‘Our little family from then to now… I think we’ve still got it. See you again soon,’ Hatcher wrote in the caption.
Turns out they were re-creating the pose they struck some 20 years ago that showed the younger duo smiling and sitting on the steps with Hatcher’s hand resting on Denton’s arm.
Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher shared now and then snaps of her and co-star James Denton who was a very special guest on her new Desperately Devoted podcast on Thursday
Fans of Desperate Housewives will recall that Hatcher played frazzled single mom Susan Mayer on the ABC show. Denton played her hunky and equally single neighbor Mike Delfino.
Their characters flirted with romance and eventually got together, married, divorced, and reunited, only for Mike to tragically die in season 8 and leave Susan a widow.
But Hatcher wasn’t just reminiscing on social media, as Denton was a very special guest on her new podcast, Desperately Devoted. The episode with Denton aired on Thursday.
The versatile star launched her new podcast on September 9 with her daughter, Emerson Tenney, 28, and Desperate Housewives co-star Andrea Bowen, 35, who played Hatcher’s daughter Julie on the series.
Denton popped in to discuss the sex scenes he and Hatcher shot on Desperate Housewives ‘looked hot but were so NOT!’
The actor felt he had to ‘apologize to Teri for being so “wooden.”‘
Other topics on the episode included Denton talking about ‘the aggressive extra that left him tongue-tied and why he thought he was going to get fired from the show!’
Fans responded enthusiastically to the photo share with one commenting, ‘That’s the happy ending I was looking for – love you guys so much.’
Teri and James struck a pose exactly like the one they had while filming the much-loved show 20 years ago

Another fan gushed, ‘This last podcast episode made me tear up … loved him as a guest! We need more Mike and Susan content … must bring him back!!’
‘I loved him even more after this episode! He needs a permanent spot on the podcast!!! He’s the best!!!’ a third chimed in.
One fan added, ‘Going to pretend Mike and Susan lived happily ever after.’
As for Hatcher, she has been married and divorced twice, first to actor Marcus Leithold from 1988 to 1989 and then to actor Jon Tenney – Emerson’s dad – from 1994 to 2003.
In a previous episode of her podcast that was released October 23, Hatcher proved no subject was off limits when she revealed the first time that she had sex.
‘I think the first time I was going to have sex [was] as a high school student in my parents’ house in their waterbed,’ she recalled, adding that she ‘didn’t know what a condom was.’
Meanwhile, the actress recently opened up about her thoughts on plastic surgery on the Skinny Confidential Him + Her podcast on October 27.
‘I have no judgement about how anybody feels good about themselves in their life,’ Hatcher said.
The stars fairly sizzled on the small screen and James never shied away from showing off his sculpted bod
James said on Teri’s podcast that the sex scenes they shot together on Desperate Housewives ‘looked hot but were so NOT!’ because he was so ‘wooden’
‘I don’t love when people aren’t truthful about it.
‘When you’re famous and you lie, you’re sort of making the rest of us feel bad about ourselves. Because we look at you and we go, “I guess I’m not drinking enough water.” And that is unfair.’
She added in the same interview that she has no wish to get cosmetic work done because she wants people to see ‘a real 60-year-old woman’ on the screen.
‘For now – I don’t know what might happen that would make me change my mind – but for now, when I look in the mirror and I think, what is lacking? What am I still struggling with? What would I like to be better at? How would I like to be better? How can I find peace? Things I think a lot of people ask of themselves.’
