omg i cant wait till september 4 season 5 2 cum out! the 5 years l8er thing was really weird!!!

Desperate Housewives: Is Gale Harold Coming Back?

December 21, 2008

Although Gale Harold is expected to make a full recovery following his motorcycle accident two months ago, it isn't clear yet whether the 39-year-old actor will return to Desperate Housewives, the dramedy where he recently played Teri Hatcher's on-screen boyfriend Jackson.  More rumors surged as a source close to both Harold and the Desperate Housewives set revealed that the actor is still in severe pain.

"He's really very majorly injured," the source told eonline.com.  "I don't believe he'll be coming back."

Marc Cherry Envisions a Ninth Season for 'Desperate Housewives'

December 11, 2008

It seems that the ladies of Wisteria Lane won't be running out of hysteria anytime soon.  TV Guide has learned that Desperate Housewives series creator Marc Cherry hopes to extend the ABC dramedy for a total of nine seasons instead of his previously envisioned seven.  The announcement came during a Wednesday cake-cutting ceremony marking 100 episodes of Desperate Housewives.

This raises the question of whether ABC will make Cherry's dream a reality.  A source told TV Guide that “while the idea of unspooling even more saucy stories for the resurgent Housewives seems a natural, much paperwork — including a formal pick-up from ABC — needs to be in hand first.”

'Desperate Housewives' Tops Ratings Despite Eva Longoria's Desperate Habit

December 9, 2008

It's no secret that one of the most-watched weekend shows on television is ABC's Desperate Housewives.  For its last episode, “A Vision's Just A Vision,” the show managed to score 16 million viewers for the day.  It was the top-rated program of the hour, as studied by Neilsen estimates. 

Even though the world knows about the success of the series, there's one thing that the show is keeping secret.  It doesn't concern torrid affairs or eloping with lovers.  It has something to do with a habit that Eva Longoria Parker can't seem to kick.  The actress has finally been caught smoking.

Desperate Housewives: Episode 5.10 "A Vision's Just a Vision" Recap

December 7, 2008

The fire is still a big deal, and the Scavo family deals with Porter's arrest the way only Lynette could - by lying and doing whatever illegal things it takes to keep him safe. It's the perfect way to revive my favorite Desperate Housewives debate: is Lynette the best or worst mother of all-time? I'm never sure, but I know it's definitely one of those two.

Desperate Housewives also has several miracles this week, from Carlos regaining his sight to the show's gay characters Andrew, Bob and Lee, all getting actual storylines. Of course the gay marriage story is a bit out of date since California voted to ban it.
