Desperate Housewives Theory(spoilers)

After watching last night, I think I know one of the secrets that's to be revealed on Desperate Housewives. I think that Mike Delfino(the plumber) is the Zack Young's biological father.

Why it could be a possibility:

-It was revealed last night that Mary Alice and Paul took Zack from a woman in her rehab center.

-The woman in the Young's toy chest was described by Paul as being someone who tried to take Zack away.(couldn't his mother try to take him back?)

-Maybe Mike's girlfriend(? I don't know if she was his girlfriend, I'm talking about the woman he's searching for. The character played by Bob Gunton, his daughter) was pregnant with Mike's baby when she went into rehab all those years ago and gave birth to Mike's baby, Zack, formerly known as Dana.

I don't know, its a little out there, but hey, it could be true. It just popped up when they mentioned Zack was stolen.

Good theory! But why would Zack be formerly known as Dana?

I love Zack...I feel bad for him... although... at the end of the episode... that wall with Julie's pictues on it was a bit creepy.

That actuallys sounds pretty plausible.

Diva007, Zach is the name Paul and Mary Alice gave him...it was revealed a few weeks ago that his birth name was Dana.

my firends and I thoughtthat was the ase like two weeks ago!!! so, who started the fire in Susan's kitchen...Zach or his Daddy??? I also love George....he's so goofy. I like Rex but he deserves what he gets (for cheating on Brie).

for some odd reason I think Zack WAS Dana, and had gender reassignment........

and I think Zack started the fire

That's the same theory we came up with... Mike Delfino went to jail for dealing drugs and killing someone and that's why he and his wife (the woman he's looking for who's been found in the chest) separated. Zach's (Dana's) mother was a drug addict. I love this show!!!

Interesting theory, but I have a DH question. I saw in the credits, someone named Roger Bart. Wasn't he is YAGMCB, and who is he on DH?

Yup, same Roger Bart. He's had a somewhat semi-regular role for the past couple of months, appearing every now and then. He plays a pharmacist in love with Bree, but he's very strange/creepy...( i.e.he watches the surveillence tapes of her).

Oh. It's George. It's hard to imagine him playing Snoopy when he's so creepy on the show.

This is my new favorite - interesting theory! As soon as Mrs Huver (sp) said "you had such a lovely birth name..." I knew it.

So on to the real dirt - who's the father of Gabby's baby?

*WHy do I envision Gabby's husband (the character) saying the name Carla? Oh well, brain fart. Sorry *

Am I missing something? Who's Carla?

Whatch--I had the same thought after last nite's revelation! If it's the secret--wow, huh?

Didn't Mike kill a cop? Because when he was approached in the parking lot with the file by the cop who beat him up, the cop said that he would kill Mike and that would be one less cop killer on the street...

[ElTico68]

Totally forgot about that, liotte. Yes, he did indeed.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 5/2/05 at 11:43pm

I think that the kid is the father and that Zach is Mike's son.

[jjdude2000]

CurtainUp, do you mean Gabrielle? whether or not the gardner/husband is the father?

[liotte]

Posted: 5/3/05 at 12:05am

Ooh, if John was the dad and Gabrielle is the mom, that child will be very pretty to look at.

[ElTico68]

Posted: 5/3/05 at 12:10am

My guess is that it'll turn out that Carlos is the dad... but we'll only find out after she does something really stupid like tell Carlos the kid's not his or something like that.

[jrb_actor]

It's going to be a gorgeous kid whether it's John's or Carlos'!

Can someone summarize allofthis for me? I missed a few episodes and I'm totally lost now.

[ashley0139]

Posted: 5/3/05 at 6:41am

Wow. Way too much to summarize. I bet on their website they have episode summaries week to week.

Just a quick point: it's been assumed Dana was a girl. Doesn't have to be. Dana's one of those slightly ambiguous names that can fit a guy (I know a guy named Dana).

Exactly Bway. And, wasn't the blanket yellow?
