[KIRSTIN'S MOMMY]

I missed the first 15 minutes of the show, how did Carlos find out about the settlement?

KIRSTIN'S MOM

Gabriella just walked into the house and the guy from the hospital that talked to her was sitting there and Carlos was standing there looking like thunder! I can't remember if he was getting a signature or something, but he left and Carlos started in.

 

[KIRSTIN'S MOMMY]

Thanks! I was on the phone with my SIL and forgot what time it was!!!!

DH and I watched it together last night. We both agreed that the woman in the trunk is the person Mike's been hired to find. We didn't think about Zach being his baby, though.... that's an interesting twist to the story!

Leslie Ann Warren (Rocky Horror Picture Show) is playing Susan's Mom-she looks too young. She left her Dh(Bob Newhart ) and moved in with Susan & it's driving Susan nuts.

Susan Sarandon was in Rocky Horror. Leslie Ann Warren was in the TV version of Cinderella and in Victor/Victoria.

It was hysterical watching her whacking Bob Newhart in the parking lot.

Didn't Zach tell susan's daughter that he killed his SISTER Dana??? What happened to all that OR did we just assume he killed the sister because he told the daughter the story but WE didn't hear it.
I was not happy with Carlos yesterday. It is one thing to be hiding money and whatever else he did that was illegal but violence in my eyes is just not acceptable.
Also when Bree spanked Lynette's son she could have just spanked him once to prove her point not the several whackings she gave.

 

[Hopetobee]

I think Zach did tell Susans daughter he had killed his sister, but he didn't remember it, his parents told him he did it (I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong)

How long has this Deidre been missing? Have they said? Zach was little when all of this happened. He is a teen in high School now so he is probably 15. If this happened when he was 2 or 3 then it would have been about12 years ago. Has Deidre been missing that long? Wow, I am putting way too much thought into this! lol

Slightly OT but did anyone also watch Crossing Jordan last night? Was that the same actress playing Lily's mom who played Susan's?

 

[Beth76]

Leslie Ann Warren also played Miss Scarlet in the movie Clue.

 

[rascalmom]

I wonder if Dana was actually MA baby that she gave birth to, but she somehow died. Then MA & her hubby somehow "obtained" Zach. They then moved away & changed their names to hide what they'd done. Maybe even stolen a baby?

Then Mrs. Huber's sister comes along - she recognizes MA in the picture. She thinks that Zach is Dana 'cause that is the name she remembers. But Zach is really a stolen or illegally adopted baby. The body in the trunk is someone who came looking for him.

 

[KristiKelly]

I think it's strange that Mrs. Huber's sister is still living in her house. She didn't even like her sister. Why wouldn't she just sell the house and go home? There's got to be some big reason why she's hanging around.

I think she's still hanging around because she's a busy body like her sister. A few episodes back she saw a pic of Mary Alice when she was talking to the husband (I can never remember his name) anyway, he denied that it was "Alice", I think that's enough to make her stay.

Bree's son confessed at the end of the show(at boot camp) that he thinks he is gay.

Leslie Ann Warren (Rocky Horror Picture Show) is playing Susan's Mom-she looks too young. She left her Dh(Bob Newhart ) and moved in with Susan & it's driving Susan nuts.

Susan Saradon was in Rocky Horror. Leslie Ann Warren was in Victor/Victoria (another cross dressing campy style cult classic)

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

What sort of facility did Mary Alice work in back in Utah? Do we know it was just a normal hospital, or could it have been some other sort of place?

Paul told Zack that a private investigator came to take him away from the only family he had ever known. That COULD be true. I do think the girl in the toy box was Deirdre. Maybe they were going to adopt him, birth mom backed out, and they stole him. Angela changed her name to Mary Alice and moved away.

I think Carlos is a major league jerk! Didn't Gabrielle have most of the money when they first met? Now he is mad that she didn't offer up the settlement money to fight the case? When he IS guilty?

If she does end up pregnant with John's baby can you imagine what John's mother will say! Oh, MY!

I didn't really care for the character of Susan's mother. I hope she isn't going to be a permanent part of the show! (And yes, that WAS the same lady on Crossing Jordan! And even weirder, I was channel flipping and I THINK she was on an episode of Will & Grace on yet another channel last night! I couldn't escape from her!!)

While I don't think Bree should have spanked Lynette's child I can certainly see why she did it! I think it was fueled by the fact that those kids were in HER house, and she didn't want to be babysitting in the first place! Lynette really imposed on Bree, so she didn't really have room to gripe when Bree didn't discipline the same way she would have!

I hope Susan and Mike get back together.

 

[Madi100]

My brother's name is Dana, so it doesn't seem odd to me at all that Zach and Dana are the same person.

I think that the lady that is in the trunk is Zach's real mom, and that Zach's dad killed her to get Zach. I like to think that Mary Alice is innocent in the act of murder.

I was very disappointed with Carlos too. I don't think I'd like Gabriella much either, but abuse is wrong.

 

[KirstenB]

Oooh, every episode, I wish I could brain Lynette with a frying pan!! Okay, I get it that she doesn't believe in spanking, whatever. I think I would fall right off the sofa if she EVER disciplined any of those kids. Then she yells at Bree for actually disciplining one of them, AAGHHH!!

 

[bengalbelle]

This was taken from Kristen's (E! online) chat:

Heather asks: On Desperate Housewives, is Dana really Zack? Was Zack once a girl (Dana) and then became a boy?

Kristin replies: Dana CAN be a boy's name! Hence my hint last week with Alex, Jaime, Pat, etc ... I think they ALL had different names once upon a time in that family.

 

[Poohbear123]

Has been around forever! I remember her in "Roger's and Hammersteins Cinderella" with Stuart Damon from General Hospital fame ( Alan Quartermain). I would LOVE to know how OLD she is!

I think it's strange that Mrs. Huber's sister is still living in her house. She didn't even like her sister. Why wouldn't she just sell the house and go home? There's got to be some big reason why she's hanging around.

If Mrs. H's sister knew MA from Utah, I'm sure Mrs. Huber knew her too. And you can't say whatever Mrs. H's sister knew, she didn't tell Mrs. H...hence, Mrs. H sending the note that MA killed herself over. Like Mrs. H said, she only wanted/needed a little money...not for the woman to kill herself!! So, the sister knows a LOT more and IS sticking around till "the beans get spilled" .......just my take!

 

[PatriciaH]

I think they said in the press that Leslie Ann Warren is 18 years older than Terri Hatcher so she could be her mom

Carlos-ooooooo boyyyyyy. This is how the world winds up with very messed up kids!
