We can?t say for sure, but we?d guess there is more love making happening in American on Sunday nights thanks to ?Grey?s Anatomy.?

However, ABC has now announced that the passion is moving to Thursday nights at 9 p.m. where ?CSI? has dwelled and dominated.

Now, the players are weighing in, including some of the ?Desperate? stars.

?I think it sucks,? Teri Hatcher told Access Hollywood?s Billy Bush.

But fellow ?Housewife? Eva Longoria disagrees.

But back to ?Grey?s? for a minute.

?Tell me about shooting that heated scene with Patrick [Dempsey]. The two of you in that room. A little hair-pulling going on. How do you not burst our laughing? You know Patrick. You know his wife,? Billy asked.

?Well I do burst out laughing and he did too,? Ellen Pompeo (aka Dr. Grey) said. ?I know people don?t want to hear it, but Patrick is like my brother. It?s like let?s just get it over with.?
