Teri Hatcher: 'The Desperate Housewives Cast is Not Too Old!'

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher has blasted critics who claim she and her fellow cast mates are too old for the hit show.

Hatcher, who turns 44 in December, and is currently filming the fifth season of the comedy-drama, insists there is nothing to stop her and the other senior women of Wisteria Lane carrying on their sexy antics for years to come.

She says, "I don't feel I look that different to when I started on the show.

"I don't think I'm any different but maybe I'm kidding myself. The thing is that there is nothing definite to say how old each of the characters is.

"People just know how old the actresses are and I think these opinions are drawn from that - unfairly in my opinion."

The fifth season of the hit ABC show will begin airing on September 28, 2008, if the Screen Actors' strike doesn't start first.
