Thomas Scavo is a fictional character on the ABC television series Desperate Housewives, played by actor Doug Savant. During Season 1, Tom was credited as a recurring role, but became credited as a series regular in Season 2. Early storylines often focused on Tom's position at an advertising firm and his need to travel often, usually leaving his wife Lynette alone to run the family. In Season 3, Tom's storylines focused on his attempts to find a new job after becoming tired of advertising. He opens "Scavo's Pizzeria", much to Lynette's dismay. Five years later, it becomes apparent that Tom is experiencing a mid-life crisis when he purchases and restores an early model convertible. After Lynette gives birth to Paige, Tom is diagnosed with male postpartum depression, which Lynette laughs off as a ridiculous notion. Tom separates from Lynette at the end of season 7 and dates Jane for the majority of season 8. Tom and Lynette reunite at the end of season 8.
