'''Orson Hodge''' (born
September
30
,
1959
) was [[Bree Van de Kamp]]'s second husband. Cultured and charming on the surface, he carried a troubled past and a talent for hiding darkness behind a polished facade. His marriage to Bree began with poise and appearances, but soon gave way to lies, guilt, and moral compromise. From covering up Bree’s fake pregnancy to running over [[Mike Delfino]], Orson’s time in suburbia proved anything but ordinary — and prison soon followed.
After serving his sentence, Bree stepped in to support him, but their once-promising marriage quickly descended into dysfunction. Orson developed a secretive and kleptomaniac streak, and the couple — outwardly polished but increasingly toxic — became entangled in a series of scandals involving blackmail and infidelity. Their relationship, initially built on appearances and control, began to unravel, culminating in Orson being left paralyzed after a plane crash during Wisteria Lane’s annual Christmas festivities.

Several years later, when Orson was 16, his father had an affair which caused a scandal at the family's local church. Due to stress, Edwin became an alcoholic and thereafter, seemingly committed suicide. Gloria blamed Orson for her husband's death which caused Orson to develop a severe case of depression, which resulted in him spending the rest of his teen years in a psychiatric hospital.[[File:Dh s3e11 01.jpg|thumb|left|Orson's first wedding.]]He was set up by his girlfriend to get married when he got her pregnant. Alma miscarried and Orson never came to love her and began an affair himself with Monique Pollier. When Alma found out, she decided to punish him by faking her own death. However, since there was no body and no evidence (a panicked Orson had cleaned everything up,) he never went to jail. Yet Alma's friend, Carolyn Bigsby, became his nemesis, accusing him of killing his wife. Free, he tried to begin a new life with Monique but found her dead, with his mother saying it was an accident when she had, in fact, killed Monique to punish Orson for cheating on Alma. He had to hide the body when Mike, whom Monique had called, came to do some plumbing. Gloria convinced a reluctant Orson to aid her in covering up the murder. Gloria and Orson go to a developing country club to bury Monique, when Orson sees his mother extracting her teeth to prevent dental identification. Orson, overcome with rage, pushes his mother into the ditch ultimately breaking her hip. He then puts her in a seniors village, determined to leave his tainted past behind him.
