Any predictions as to who dies on "Desperate Housewives" next week?

According to TV Guide, 3 characters - including 1 from day one of the show, will die on Sunday's episode on DH.

I really don't care for the storyline of Carlos being so mean to Lynette. It just doesn't make any sense that he would be so hurtfull to an employee, let alone a good friend.

Exactly. He's always been the grounded one.

And, speaking of death, Bree's son Andrew was the one who hit Carlos's mother with the car, and she died. That secret still hasn't come out yet.

This show jumped the shark with the whole 5 year time travel thing.

I say kill off everyone and bring back Sharon Lawrence, Brenda Strong and Roger Bart and focus on them.

The show has become a caricature of a caricature. It's terrible.

The season finale with the whole kidnapping/car chase thing was some of the worst writing I've ever witnessed. Just terrible.

Its time has passed. And Lynette Scavo may be the least likable character on TV. And who wants to bet she loses her unwanted baby in this new "disaster" as the umpteenth convenient plot-twist for the dead-end Scavo story-lines.

Am I the only one who feels this way? This show used to be a guilty pleasure, but not it just makes me feel guilty.

"And, speaking of death, Bree's son Andrew was the one who hit Carlos's mother with the car, and she died. That secret still hasn't come out yet."

Actually Carlos' didn't die from being hit by Andrew. She died when she woke up from her coma and tried to sneek out of the hospital and fell down the stairs in the stairwell. But you are right that it never came out that Andrew was driving the car the put her in the hospital in the first place.

I'm sure that's a storyline that has been abandoned. I doubt it will ever come up again.

Everything. From the ludicrous implausibility of the central conceit on down. And that actor(s) playing MJ... let's just say the only believable thing about his casting lies with the fact Teri Hatcher plays his mother, as if that excuses his abhorrent, cloying acting. Or hers. The only one more annoying/cloying than Hatcher is Huffman, who deserves much better. I hated everything about last season and while this season had a moment or two that gave me a false glimmer of hope, that was soon dashed with the umpteenth crazy Delaney or wacky Hatcher or hypocritical Cross moment. The show is lost at sea and it seems as though a different writer writes every episode and none of them bother to maintain the tone that was so clearly established in the first 4 seasons.

It's as if everything post time-warp is a writer's free-for-all and at the end of season 7 when Susan/Hatcher wakes up in bed next to Gale Harold and it is revealed the whole time-warp was a dream then maybe others will be as disgusted as I am.

I will say it went from moderately good to terrible VERY fast so maybe there's a chance Cherry will buck up and write a few episodes himself, for once, and get it back on track. It's almost beyond the point of no return now, I fear.

P

It isn't. Joosten has Cherry's word that she will never be killed off on the show. He is actually planning a spin-off for her and Lily Tomlin and apparently they have both agreed to do it.

5 people die this week. 2 are the pilot and his wife, the rest are characters we know (but none of the Bolens/de Matteo's "family").

Apparently, Lynette's baby has cerebral palsy which will be revealed in a fantasy sequence in a few weeks so maybe she will have an abortion though I highly doubt it. Too un-PC.

And anyway, the show doesn't have balls like that anymore. Once, maybe... not anymore. DH is no MAUDE.

The only thing keeping this on my DVR list is the strangler subplot. I'm sure it's either Orson or Tyler's friend Eddie but I'm not sure which. Probably the latter as it seems the kidnapper is shorter than Orson but it would make more sense for it to be Orson considering the victims have been red-heads (and he is obsessed with Bree) and he's batsh*t crazy. But I'm going with Eddie, as does the leading DH gossip site, just because it's the less interesting choice and DH is all about being boring these days. I'm not sure if I'm willing to watch for the next 6 months to find out, though.

P

If it's a member of the cast from day one, my guess would be Julie. She's become dispensible.

Karl is dreamy.

Karl has been on the show since the start, too.

Apparently, Lynette's baby has cerebral palsy which will be revealed in a fantasy sequence in a few weeks so maybe she will have an abortion though I highly doubt it. Too un-PC.

It's not so much a question of not having balls. I was not alive when Maude was on the air and only know a little bit about the episode. But Maude wasn't showing when she had her abortion and the baby was not kicking. Aborting her baby is probably illegal at this point. If the baby is developed enough to be kicking then it is way too late for a legal abortion.

Do both babies have CP or just one? She is having twins.

I was going to say she is pregnant with twins, right? She could miscarry and that would be the two other deaths.

It could be Andrew, Bree's son. He's been on the show since day 1.

I'm still trying to figure out why pgenre is still watching a show he clearly has so much vehemence for. If I hate a show so much, I just don't watch it. I used to be a huge Heroes fan - and then it got dumber and dumber and finally I let go this season. It feels GOOD not to be tethered to watching something I just didn't enjoy HOPING it would get better.

I'm hoping it's not Karl - I actually am enjoying him this season. I'm wondering if it will be Carlos given how despicable they've been trying to make him this season. I find it hard to believe they would kill off one of the wives' kids as it would completely change the character who they seem so hell bent on not letting change sometimes.
