==Development and casting==
Regarding Betty Applewhite and the mystery storyline of her family, series creator Marc Cherry stated: "They come on the street; they seem like nice people — but they've got a secret. And it's pretty gothic. It's real and human and awful all at the same time."〔Keck, William (May 5, 2005). ("'Housewives' in suspense" ). ''USA Today''. Retrieved October 18, 2011.〕 Woodard commented that her character "never means harm... Let's just say she has flaws. She had to make some really tough decisions quick and if the law ever catches up with her, she'll have to serve time... But they'll never catch her."〔Keck, William (September 29, 2005). ("Alfre Woodard has a secret" ). ''USA Today''. Retrieved October 18, 2011.〕 The final scene in which Betty and Matthew bring food to the prisoner in their basement was originally intended for the first season finale but saved for "Next" instead.〔Audio commentary on "One Wonderful Day" with Marc Cherry and Larry Shaw.

Retrieved July 31, 2011.〕 While the Applewhites are regarded as the first major black characters on the series,〔〔Cooper, Gael Fashingbauer (September 26, 2005). ("Now that's a 'Desperate Housewives'" ). ''MSNBC''. Retrieved October 20, 2011.〕 Cherry stated that the role of Betty was originally offered to two white film actresses, both of whom turned it down due to financial and time commitment issues.〔 He clarified: "There's nothing strategically black about her character. Her color is incidental."〔Mitchell, Sean (September 24, 2005). ("With the Secrets Revealed, 'Housewives' Turns to New Mysteries" ). ''The New York Times''. Retrieved October 29, 2011.〕 Woodard stated that she had never seen the show before accepting the role, something that led the producers to send her fifteen episodes of the show, which she divided amongst various family members. After they compared storylines, Woodard recalled that she became "instantly hooked" on the series.〔
