ONE DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE WILL BE GONE...FOREVER

I've been having a 'Desperate Housewives' overload recently. This show is too good for words and each episode gets better and the writers never fail to surprise me and shock in a similar way to 'Sex and the City'

It's been a bit wild on Wisteria Lane with a death, human remains, kinky sex followed by a heart attack, betrayal and a catwalk show - naturally. I only hope that after the initial story of why Mary Alice Young topped herself at the beginning of the pilot episode that they can continue to keep me hooked.

The trailers for episode 8 which screened a few weeks ago apparently threatened that "One desperate housewife will be gone..... forever"

Well without spoiling it, this person was whacked with her just desserts after what she did. The cast is top notch and I'm always itching to find out what's going to happen next. In the UK, the show starts on January 5th and I will have to watch it then aswell, right back to the beginning! I'm forever finding out all sorts of goss and Alan never wants to know (although he secretly does). Alan's almost as obsessed with soaps and trash as me. We have an affinity with Angela Channing and all things Falcon Crest!

Example

One of the stars of 'DH' has to be Nicolette Sheridan. She played Paige Matheson on 'Knots Landing' for years in the 80s and early 90s. After that she guest starred in various sitcoms before returning to primetime in 'Desperate Housewives' as man eating Edie Britt. She steals practically every scene she's in and I think viewers feel something for her as she's an old star coming back in a winning show. I'm loving Nicolette almost as much as Teri Hatcher who for me will always be Ariel Moloney in 'Soapdish'

Don't forget Marcia Cross, more Stepford Housewife than Desperate Housewife. Wonderful scene of her throwing her son's urine all over her husband at the golf course.
