Mike Delfino is a fictional character on the ABC television series Desperate Housewives. The character was played by actor James Denton from the show's inception, until the eighth and final season of the show.
Mike Delfino posed as the friendly neighborhood plumber but was quietly searching for his missing ex-girlfriend (Deirdre Taylor). Her father, Noah, wanted to know what had happened to her before he died. Deirdre's remains were discovered under the Young family pool.
Paul Young murdered Martha Huber after she admitted blackmailing his late wife. He tried framing Mike for the murder. Susan Meyer discovered that he had been in prison for manslaughter and drug dealing. Devastated, she ended their relationship. However, she visited Kendra and Noah, looking for answers. Kendra explained that Mike and Deirdre were drug addicts. Mike was defending Deirdre from an undercover policeman. Mike tried stopping the policeman and caught them together. Mike and the policeman had a fight and they went over a balcony. Mike survived but the cop didn't.
Mike also discovered that Paul Young was involved in Deirdre's murder. He took Paul hostage and planned to shoot him until Paul told him that he and his late wife lived in Salt Lake City years ago. Mary Alice worked at a rehab centre and met Deirdre. One night, wanting drugs, Deirdre tried to sell her and Paul her watch — claiming the baby needed food, but Mary Alice knew Deirdre would buy drugs. She offered them her baby son, Dana. Mary Alice agreed and they moved to Fairview with the baby, now named Zach. Three years later, Deirdre found them and demanded her baby back; they refused. Deirdre went to take Zach but Mary Alice stabbed her to stop her. Mike let Paul go, realizing Zach was his son. Meanwhile, Zach held Susan hostage after finding out Mike had kidnapped Paul and intended to kill him.
When Mike got home, he and Susan fought off Zach and he fled. Susan was stunned to discover that Zach is Mike's son. Susan was wary of Zach because his behaviour towards Julie was worrying, particularly when she asked him not to see Julie as much. She encouraged Zach to go to Utah, looking for Paul and gave him money. When Mike found out, he ended their relationship.
