Lesbians in 'Desperate Housewives'

I was very excited to hear that one of the main characters in 'Desperate Housewives' has embarked upon a lesbian relationship but I'm beginning to think it's the usual titillation rather than a sensitive portrayal.  Katherine (played by Dana Delany), falls for stripper Robin (played by Julie Benz) and struggles with her feelings.  However, after a couple of episodes they disappear on an extended vacation and are absent from the rest of the series. Hopefully they will be back on our screens soon but I have a sneaking suspicion that Katherine will return alone. :-(
