'Desperate Housewives': Season 3 spoilers

Jun 22, 2006, 11:47 AM | by Gary Susman

Categories: 'Desperate Housewives'

9539__wives_l [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?

Does anyone else here think that Mike and Susan should get back togeather? I do i think they are so cute togeather and I hate Ian. I think that the baby that Daniele.Julie and Austin will get back togeather. I think that Kayla will start liking Lynette. Carlos and Gaby will get back togeather and have a baby. I also think that Ian and Edie should get togeather because Edie likes expensive things and Ian is rich. Karl should coem back.we would learn more about Zach's real mom, and Mike and Zach should spend more time togeather. i also think that they whould bring more asspects of Andrew being gay intio teh show because most people forget he is gay. That is what I liked teh most about him. Susan and Ian should eb in teh middle of getting married then Mike comes in and then Susan and Mike should get married there on the spot.Susan should publish her book she was writting about men in season 2.Mike and Susan should have twins a boy and a girl because Mike said he liked kids.

when will desperate housewives series 3 DVD will be out ?

Daniela Fri, Jan 19, 2007 at 07:07 AM EST

Tim Lade I guess that you must be some very peculiar person considering that you're exploring this site and dislike desperate housewives. It's strange that you're going against 21.4 million people's opinion. I suggest that you at least try and watch a few episodes before commenting since this series is hooking, and absolutely well produced.

cant wait for S3 . love bree to bits, my fav character. whats happenrd to andrew. hope bree accepts him soon but hes still a little bastard. cnt wait foR S3. XXXX

lee moss Tue, Nov 14, 2006 at 02:06 PM EST

marie Sun, Jul 30, 2006 at 12:50 AM EST

i realli wont jesse metcalfto come bak to wisteria lane so i think there should be a whole thing happening there

blsangel07 Wed, Jul 26, 2006 at 12:27 PM EST

I want to see more of Gabrielle. She's my favorite character. I think out of all of the character's hers is the most developed. She's really grown into a mature woman with the whole baby thing but she's still funny in a unique way. Edie is also a character I would want to see more of. She's like the villain you just can't get enough of. I mean she burned down Susan's house! I agree with everyone on the whole "DON'T GIVE BREE ANOTHER PSYCHO!!!" She already has psycho children and been through that whole psycho pharmacist phase. They should bring Rex back. I think he kept Bree a little bit more stable than how she is now. I also like how Susan always freaks out about every little thing. I personally find that funny but I want to see her and Mike together in season 3. I'm tired of their on and off again kind of thing. Also, I don't appreciate that they made Tom have another family. He was the one good husband, and they ruined it. Plus the actress who plays the mother of his love child was from "Saved by the bell: The college years". I'm sorry but I did not like her then, and I do not like her now.

nurhartini Fri, Jul 21, 2006 at 04:46 AM EST

i was really into Gaby vs Carlos befoe, but after the hanging ending about Lynette and Tom in S2, i cant hardly wait for S3 !! seriously, Tom was the last man in Wisteria Lane i've ever expected to be a sneaky-two timing-husband!

i am not really excited about bree being hooked up to any other psychos. it started since S1...(Rex's midlife crisis was sordid as well)..! but i am seriously hoping that Danielle and Andrew wont come back for good. they are bummers..Bree doesnt deserve neither one of them.

and Susan, just STOP SCREWING THINGS UP!!

it would be a dreadful wait til september!

Aurora Mon, Jul 17, 2006 at 12:55 PM EST

I really want to shoot the writters.
When something is going to be a happy ending ,they have to spoil it!!!!For example:Mike,Carlos Bree!Why Bree always has to date someone who is crazy?For god sake!And Season 3 won't start till September!!!!I am so longing to watch it!!!!

celia Fri, Jul 7, 2006 at 09:56 AM EST

i will wait for season 3... watched the whole 1st and 2nd season simultaneously!!!! arrggghhh!!! my eyes is about to pop!!! truly season 1 is great but please don't let bree have another psycho in her life again!!!

First of all, you all can't spell for the life of you and second I thaught that Season 2 was just as good as Season 1. So watch something else and quit complaining!!!

Mona Tue, Jun 27, 2006 at 06:43 AM EST

Hi!
I wanted to know if someone heard of brit's baby. We heard thatmrs Hubert babysited him in season 1 and never appeared again.

Stephanie Mon, Jun 26, 2006 at 12:30 PM EST

I am telling you that the woman Lynette was introduced to is going to blackmale Tom even if she is the one his love child. He is having an affair with another lady.

BoofishFontaine Fri, Jun 23, 2006 at 01:12 PM EST

I think the big twist in Season 3 should be the show is cancelled. It's not good and after they completely mishandled the Applewhites, I have no use for them

Ed Fri, Jun 23, 2006 at 11:58 AM EST

Honey, that's the problem with DH the plot lines are recycled! Hello, Mike already had an involved plot line in S1, besides being a drug addicted killer, he's a dead beat dad. His character has been through enough trama for me to believe that he still has some more crap to reveal.
I too believe that the whole Tim plot line is going to be long and drawn out; just like the whole Mike Delfino and his sons grand-dad, that plot line nearly killed me.

And for god sakes, Terri Hatcher, eat something!

JL Fri, Jun 23, 2006 at 11:20 AM EST

Ok, so here is what we know about Orson - he was the guy in the movie theater that Susan sat down next to when she wanted avoid Mike. He listened to Susan vent about her love life and helped her clean up after the fire burned down her house. He visits a woman in a mental institution where he ran into Bree and helped her escape from there. He obviously has a past history with Mike due to the fact that he ran him over with his car. God people, give the storyline a chance ... just because he ran over Mike doesnt make him a psycho stalker. Maybe Mike did something that we dont know about yet. Orson has never done anything else to give him the psycho label except be nice to Susan and Bree. It CLEARLY wont be a rehash of the George storyline. Stop complaining when we really dont know ANYTHING at all about this character except the few things I have listed.

The dentist needs to go! Bree hooking up with psychos in the medical profession was done. How did he get from Susan to Bree anyway? Hook Bree up with someone real and then let her kids come back and her new guy help her kick some butt! Lynette needs to go back to being "mom" or at least less of a pushy witch, and Tom needs to grow a backbone and become an adult. Gabby and Carlos separating could have some possibilities. Susan needs to grow a brain and work things out with Mike. They've gone overboard with her ditzy side. Alfre Woodard may be a great actress, but the creepy neighbor with the boy in the basement was stupid, and I'm not sorry to see the family gone. Paul needs to stay in jail and his kid need to take his millions and go to Tahiti and never come back.

There's still great potential in DH. Bree has grown a lot and it might be fun to see her start a real relationship. Lynette was great when she was the mom trying to juggle it all but she's boring and unlikable as an executive who doesn't care about anything. Gabby worked as a self-centered selfish model who cared on the inside, and her becoming a "mom" could have great possibilities. Susan needs some depth and a chance to do something other than whine and fall down.

I'll give season three a chance... but I'm hoping the writers will show some growth instead of re-hashing the 'been there, done that' psycho plot!

jake Fri, Jun 23, 2006 at 01:51 AM EST

I hope they continue to showcase Shawn Pyfrom who plays Bree's complicated and scene stealing son Andrew.

J.P. Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 11:43 PM EST

Season 1 was great! Season 2 a mess, but definitely had moments of brilliance (most involved the non-housewives) that have me excited for S3. The "big twist" tho I'd guess is either... 1) One of the Big 4 dies (pro'lly by Mr. Psycho Dentist... hmmm, Brie in his dental chair with "too much" anesthesia while he watches her slip away perhaps?) 2) One of the Big 4 kills the main man in their life... Susan shoots Mike accidently thinking it's a robber... or Brie kills Andrew for the same reason??? 3) Lynette's entire family is killed in a car crash, leaving her totally alone 4) Two of the Big 4 have sex. My opinionated bet is on 2 or 3.

NaxeruL Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 10:49 PM EST

I wish season 3 would be much better than previous season. quite dissappointed with season 2. Change the storyline or kill Susan. Do something or else Greys will take over the viewers!! Cannot wait for next season of Greys!!

matt Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 10:27 PM EST

Please, oh please, not another creepy stalker for Bree (the dentist). They need to drop that storyline right away next season, as well as the "other woman" being Tom's former flame. Ugh. Make it interesting!
Gaby, friggin' hilarious and amazing performance this peast season. I still have hope for this next season overall.

**** Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 09:11 PM EST

the death of susan...then i might start watching again. season 2 was a joke in comparison to season 1.

Mike Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 03:53 PM EST

No wonder why everyone complains. You guys have nothing better to do. I'd be cranky also. However Desperate Housewifes is funny and original. If you don't like it watch another one of those "doctor" shows. It's That easy.... Can't wait for season 3!

Amber Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 03:44 PM EST

Why oh why are they having Bree get involved with another psycho? I've already lost interest, it'll be season 2 all over again. YAWN.

Howard Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 02:52 PM EST

Actually, the plotline that I'm dreading is Tom's stepkid and her mom moving the next town over. That has crap written all over it.

This show can rebound, and I don't think it'll take much. If they'd given Alfre Woodard a decent storyline, it would have been a better season. Personally, I'd like to see Susan less likely to do the wrong thing EVERY TIME. Teri Hatcher deserves better, and the idea of her daughter playing Mom to her got real old real fast.

Bekkah Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 02:18 PM EST

I agree with Dawn. What a waste of air space.

Dawn Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 01:43 PM EST

What do I want to see happen in Season 3? How about cancellation. That'd be the best plot twist EVER!

Kathy Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 01:41 PM EST

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.

Miranda Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 01:33 PM EST

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.

Patti Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 01:16 PM EST

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.

cj Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 01:13 PM EST

best show on tv?surely you jest

Brian Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 01:09 PM EST

Still the best show on tv!!!

Johnny Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 12:36 PM EST

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%.

dma69 Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 12:30 PM EST

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.

Tim Lade Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 12:27 PM EST

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.

pn Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 12:10 PM EST

This show blows

Ryan Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 12:03 PM EST

I totally agree. More Gabrielle, Edie and Felicia. They are the scene stealers of this show. Oh yeah, Marcia Cross rocks too.

brandonk Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 11:46 AM EST

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.

Muhlyssa Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 11:36 AM EST

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.

Ed Thu, Jun 22, 2006 at 11:23 AM EST

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!
