[SPOILER WARNING: Do not read this item if you don't want any information about Housewives' third season.]
It’s not too early to muse on what’s going to happen to the ladies of Wisteria Lane on the forthcoming season of Desperate Housewives. Writer and co-executive producer Kevin Murphy offers some mild spoilers to Variety that involve the relationship between Bree (Marcia Cross) and Orson (Kyle MacLachlan), a new love interest for Susan (Teri Hatcher), an escalating battle between Gaby (Eva Longoria) and Carlos (Ricardo Chavira), a wedding, and a ”big twist” in episode 7.
About the only thing here that sounds interesting to me is the Gaby-Carlos struggle, especially since Longoria was the show’s most underappreciated performer in season 2. (I’m talking to you, Emmy voters.) Orson looks like he’s going to be another George, a creepy stalker for Bree who’s a dentist instead of a pharmacist. The awkward mishandling of the Applewhites plot (and criminal underutilization of Alfre Woodard) throughout season 2 gives me little hope for whatever grand and mysterious story arc Murphy and crew have planned for next season. Just give us more Gaby and more Edie (Nicollette Sheridan), stop making Lynette (Felicity Huffman) such a scheming harpy, and don’t let the eight-fingered Mrs. Tilman (Harriet Harris) stay away too long.
What do you want to see happen on the third season of Housewives?
Gary, I am with you on this one. When I saw the dentist (I’ll always remember him as the ol’righty man) I thought, oh no! season 3′s gonna suck! One thing the writers of Desperate Housewives cannot do right are relationships. The pharmasist got on my nerves; anyone who pairs up with Susan gets on my nerves – heck Susan gets on my nerves!
I pray season 3 is a lot better!
What do you want to see happen on the third season of Housewives?
Nothing. Haven’t watched since the first season, which was medicore at best.
Another love interest for Susan? Why? Just have her and Mike get together and explore the comedy that would arise from a new relationship like that. Season 4 they could get married or something. I’m not looking forward to Orson, who definitely seems like another creep.
I totally agree. More Gabrielle, Edie and Felicia. They are the scene stealers of this show. Oh yeah, Marcia Cross rocks too.
This show blows
isn’t that eight fingers and two thumbs? I don’t really know what you’re talking about as I do not watch the show. Iron Chef America is on at the same time and really it is far more interesting than the gas bag waste of air time that Desperate Housewives has become.
Enough with Susan hooking up with every guy that she comes in contact with. Just get her and the plumber back together once and for all. And, yes, more Gaby vs. Carlos.
I’ve given up on this show. It started out as an unmissable twisted funny satire of life in the sub. It is totally destroyed itself. I saw the finale of s2 and thought to myself how pointless – they are redoing the whole storyline again. Like a lot of people I won’t be watching DHW s3.
The only shows I watch now are 24 and Greys (both of which are amazing in comparison to DHW). No wonder Greys has overtaken DHW in viewers and 24 has increased in its ratings an amazing 20%.
Still the best show on tv!!!
best show on tv?surely you jest
I watched all of season 1, 2 episodes of season 2, I beleive I will watch 0 episodes of season. I just don’t care.
Mrs. Tillman cut off two of her fingers to incriminate Creepy Paul. Hence, 8-fingered.
I agree with Gary, though. More Gaby, more Edie. Less Susan (she’s so tiresome), and please, write Lynette as a real person instead of a cartoon harpy.
I won’t be watching S3 since S2 was the worst! I gave up on this show about half way thru S2. I did watch the season finale (about 4 weeks later thanks to TIVO) and thought this was the most over-hyped show ever.
What do I want to see happen in Season 3? How about cancellation. That’d be the best plot twist EVER!
I agree with Dawn. What a waste of air space.
