warning - some season 2 spoilers
Rex is definatly dead - Bree was based on the creators mum... 'his demise was a long time coming. "Bree is based on my mom. And my dad died, so I told poor Steven, 'Had my dad lived, you'd still have a job.'" Rex won't be the last Wisteria Lane resident to bite the dust, Cherry reveals. "Somebody will meet a surprising end at least once a year," he says.' But he may be back in flashbacks.
The new family has a dark secret, some scenes from the final episode were dropped and will probably be included next season. Aparently the new family will be the new mystery for next season. 'Betty Applewhite came to Wysteria Lane with something to hide, and we're going to find out exactly what she's hiding in the season premiere," says Kevin Murphy co-executive producer. All Marc Cherry will say about the Applewhites is that "they come on the street; they seem like nice people - but they've got a secret. And it's pretty gothic. It's real and human and awful all at the same time."
Psycho George ill be back. '"Desperate Housewives" villain Roger Bart -- who plays the show's pharmacist with a homicidal bent -- will join the hit ABC series full-time next season.'
Edie should be back. 'According to Nicollette Sheridan: "Edie will make it into the next season, yes, and so will her house," she tells me. "Her house will be built next season, and her 6-yr-old son that we heard about in the pilot is going to come visit." Edie will stay a fifth wheel. Because of viewers' strong reaction to Nicollette Sheridan, her character next season will be given a never-before-seen ex-husband and a 6-year-old son. But Cherry insists Edie will continue serving only as a spoiler to complicate the other women's lives.
Aparently John the gardner will be back next season.
Carlos will be back. 'Series creator Marc Cherry told me that he's constructing a prison set for Ricardo Chavira to shoot his scenes in. "He'll be in there for a while," Cherry said. "We'll see him pulling strings from inside the jail cell."
Only Denton (Mike Delfino) is a likely candidate for series longevity. And putting into question the fate of Gabrielle's current men - lover John (Metcalfe) and husband Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira), who is headed off to prison - Cherry and his writers are conceiving a new suitor for Gabrielle in Season 2.
British soap star Kacey Ainsworth has been hired for a three-episode guest stint. According to one of Ainsworth's co-stars on the BBC's 'EastEnders,' Ainsworth will be playing an English nanny on 'Desperate Housewives.' This probably means she'll be joining the Scavo household to take care of Lynette's kids.
Cherry says he expects to bring Paul, Zack and Mary Alice back next season and Strong (Mary Alice) is contracted to be both heard and seen throughout the series' anticipated seven-year run.
well obviously some of them will change!
oh, and i read a rumor that Tom's secret was that he had a secret 2nd family, but i'm not sure if this was ever confirmed or it may be in the 2nd season
