Tom Scavo
๐ฏ๐๐งโก
Context
Tom Scavo is Lynette Scavo's husband and one of the central male characters of Desperate Housewives, portrayed by Doug Savant. A former high school nerd, he has always been a subdued husband, letting his assertive and controlling wife, Lynette, make all the important decisions. Father of six children, he built a career as an executive then went through a midlife crisis that led him to open a pizzeria. When the business went bankrupt, he tried to return to the corporate world, which drove him away from Lynette until their separation. After a year of separation, he reconciled with her.
Summer on Wisteria Lane is for Tom a time of respite and reflection. It's a time to enjoy his family, organize barbecues, and do what he loves: play golf, drink a cold beer, and relax. But it's also a season where family tensions can resurface, where old demons and doubts come back to the surface.
