Official Desperate Housewives thread. Perfection not required. Mistakes welcome.

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!!

I agree, those kids are such terrors. She reminds me of a friend of mine, my friend will discipline a little bit though (very little bit). She just thinks that's "how boys are", nevermind that my son has never acted in the way that her boys do.

I thought it was hilarious when Bree spanked them. It's not like she used a switch or a belt or anything. Also, she was baking cookies and he knocked them off the electric pan, she should have explained that. Oh well, it's only TV but I thought it was funny.

Don't forget that the cookies were homemade - LOL!!

Carlos ran after Gabrielle and picked her up. He grabbed her wrist and made her sign the pre-nup.

She should have taken pictures and went to the police and made a statement that she was made to sign a pre-nup under duress circumstances.


I just read that Desperate Housewives is going to run 7 episodes and they just made an 8th to show how each character is developing.

I was mad that Edie wasn't playing poker with the girls. I don't like the way they exclude her once again. It was like she didn't even exist.

 

[WilmaBud]

Edie's pretty mad at Susan. Maybe she didn't want to play poker with her?

 

[MamaLema]

Is Carlos going to jail for sure?

I'm probably getting ahead of myself but Gabrielle could be 8-9 months pregnant when Carlos gets out of jail. OOOhhh the possibilities

 

[Beth76]

Ah Edie. I don't like that character and was rather put off when they put her in the poker game last week. I also don't like seeing her in all the magazine lay-outs. I'm fine with her coming in and stirring things up every now and then. But, I don't like her being in the group. She doesn't really belong there.

 

[Tiggeroo]

I bet Carlos is going to get out of going to jail at the last minute, or he'll only do a tiny bit of time. I can't picture them not having him around to interact with his wife.

Here is where I am lost: is Mike looking for his ex-wife? Is the ex-wife dead or just missing?

he is looking for Diedra....whoever that is?? but we know "he loved her" ...according to her father. We are thinking they were in love and got pregnant (w/ Zac/Dana). She gave the baby up for adoption (to MA & Paul) and then reniged. They killed her and put her in the trunk (hence the adult, female bones in it) and took the baby, relocated and changed their identities..........--at least, that's the theory going on this thread.... btw: April 24th is that episode to "catch up" with all the characters..........

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

Oops...thanks...they look kinda similar-don't they?

I think that this is an interesting theory, but for it to work, Mike must not know that MA and Paul were the ones going to adopt the baby, or else we'd be able to see some sort of tension or recognition or something. He doesn't seem the least bit interested in them. Unless, he didn't know she was pregnant? Hmm, interesting.

Oooh, maybe. Maybe that's why Dierdre wanted to give the baby up for adoption. Maybe Mike didn't want kids and she became pregnant and knew he wouldn't want her to have the baby so she decided to give it up for adoption secretly to MA/A and Paul.... hmmmmm
and then that's why he doesn't really know specifically who he is looking for on Wisteria Lane.

Do you think Paul knows who Mike is? Maybe that's why he hid the glove (was it a glove?) from killing Mrs. Huber in Mike's shed- to get rid of him and get him off their tail.

 

[bubba's mom]

Maybe Mike didn't want kids and she became pregnant and knew he wouldn't want her to have the baby so.......

Mike does want kids....when he mentioned it to Susan, she freaked...remember?? How she already raised her kid and started having more freedom........

Do you think Paul knows who Mike is? Maybe that's why he hid the glove (was it a glove?) from killing Mrs. Huber in Mike's shed- to get rid of him and get him off their tail.

It was her jewelry and I don't think Paul knows who Mike is.....if Mike didn't know about the pregnancy in the first place, MA & Paul would've only been dealing with Diedra, not Mike. I think he hid it at Mike's cuz he was "new on the block" and nobody would suspect him....but, I wouldn't put it past these writers if Paul DID know (of/about) Mike.

 

[DVC Daisy]

I wonder if it is possible that Mike is Deidra's brother. Perhaps there was some big falling out with the Dad (guy he is working for) or something which is why their relationship is so strained. That would make Mike Zach's uncle. That would be interesting.

 

[bubba's mom]

That is a good possiblity.......anything can happen on this show.....being brother and sister included!!!

 

[christinadei]

Is it just me who gets so frustrated when the show is over every sunday night? There is always so much hanging. I want it to be one big long movie so I can find out what happens!!!

Hmm, I'm going to guess that Mike and Paul don't know who each other are. Paul doesn't act any more weird than he usually is around Mike, and Mike doesn't seem to know him. So maybe Deidra had the baby in secret and her dad or mike don't know about it and maybe Paul just randomly put it in Mikes garage because he's single and the most likely suspect? Maybe he knew about him getting shot, and figured that he was already suspicious, that it wouldn't be too hard for the cops to think it was him?

 

[Madi100]

Hmmm. I've never thought it was an adoption, but a kidnapping. But, my big "I don't get it" is if MA and Paul left Utah and they already had Dana/Zach then why are they looking for Deidra on Wisteria Lane? Wouldn't they be in Utah? Where did they find the body?

 

[christinadei]

Good thinking. Maybe Deidra was either the mother or a private investigator that found out that MA and Paul had taken baby dana/zach to wisteria lane. If deidra was the mother, she could've just told her family that she was going there to handle some business and that's where she was killed. OR if she was the private investigator, maybe she figured out that they were there and went there after the baby. Surely her office or secretary or someone knew where she was going and told her father and/or mike.

 

[christinadei]

Where did they find the body?

I'm not sure exactly where they found the body. We don't yet know that it's deidra's, we are just assuming. But they found the body that Paul had burried under the pool. He'd undug it and threw it in some river, I'd assume somewhere nearby.

So, if she is the mother of Dana or Zach and they left Utah to escape her why would they bring the body with them after she was killed?

I think that if she was the mother she found them on Wisteria Lane and then he killed her.
