I just started watching this show, but I am now a fan. I found this article about Caleb:

Desparate Housewives IDs Basement Guy

LOS ANGELES(AP) With a typical "Desperate Housewives" flourish of high drama, the man locked in a Wisteria Lane basement was revealed Sunday to be a fugitive from justice.

Caleb, being held in secret by neighborhood newcomer Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard), may be responsible for the killing four months ago of a teenage girl in Chicago _ a crime for which another man has been arrested.

"It's time we talked about her, Caleb," Betty tells him after seeing a TV news report of the arrest. "Until you start accepting responsibility for what happened, you know I can't let you out of here."

Page Kennedy, the actor playing Caleb, remained a barely glimpsed mystery figure before Sunday. He's glad to emerge from the shadows, but careful not to disclose much about his character.

"I do know that he's sweet but he can be very dangerous," Kennedy told The Associated Press.

The man's story is evolving as production continues, he said. The actor doesn't know Caleb's fate and acknowledges that others on the suburban satire have met untimely ends.

Asked if Caleb makes it through the season, Kennedy said, "Yes," then, after a pause, "Hopefully."

During Sunday's episode, Betty is seen composing a letter to Chicago police advising that an innocent person is in custody. Her son, Matthew (Mehcad Brooks), warns her that she's putting Caleb, who appears to be in his 20s and developmentally disabled, in danger.

"He's not a killer," she said. "He was confused."

"They're not gonna care how slow Caleb is. They'll just execute him," Mehcad replies. Caleb's relationship to the Applewhites is not made clear.

The murder victim was identified as a 17-year-old high school student named Melanie Foster.

Kennedy said he'll have no regrets even if his "Desperate Housewives" run turns out to be brief. He was so intent on joining the show that he let other opportunities go, including a recurring role on Showtime's "Barber Shop" and parts on WB's upcoming Rebecca Romijn series "Pepper Dennis" and on UPN's "Love, Inc."
