Desperate Housewives

ABC produces another great show by airing a juicy soap-opera on Sunday nights. Let me tell you that I am not a fan of the cheesy over dramatic acting that comes with your typical daytime soaps, but Desperate Housewives has got me hooked! So the basic premise for those of you who have been missing this fantastic drama is that 5 years ago on a small suburban street called Wisteria Lane, a 'desperate housewife' showed signs of desperation and ended up committing suicide! All of her closest friends are her neighbors on the same street and had no idea what would have caused Mary Alice Young (played by Brenda Strong) to do such a thing. Long story short, the narrator is Mary Alice looking back at all of the people she knew when she was alive and exposing all of the drama to us viewers. The fourth and last season that aired was back in the Spring of 2008 and left us with crazy ending and a burning question. The ending concluded that within a blink of an eye, 5 years passed and no one is the same. The next season Airing just a few weeks ago in the end of September 2008 promised the information that was lacking with the teaser ending from last season.
Thus far, Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher) is a kooky divorcee and mother who has finally married the man of her dreams but for some reason in a five year span is sleeping with someone new; Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) is the spunky married housewife that was a high powered career woman in an Advertising agency turned cancer survivor and part pizza shop owner; Bree Van de Camp (Marcia Cross) is one of the most uptight characters I have ever seen yet has turned her life from a psychotic mother and widow to a very successful and newly married Catering company owner; lastly, Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) was a stuck-up, size 0 high fashion model unhappily married turned happily married to her 1st and newly blind husband Carlos Solis (played by Ricardo Antonio Chivera) with 2 chunky kids ( she herself is obviously not a size 0 anymore) and without any money.
What has happened on the streets on Wisteria Lane? Julie Bonner is a blogger that only focuses on Desperate Housewives and she has posted some juicy information about the upcoming shows! She states: http://www.desperateblog.com/

"Desperate Housewives 5.05 “Back in Business” airs on October 26th and the night will be full of surprises.
Dave convinces Susan to throw Mrs. McCluskey a surprise party for her 70th birthday. Aw, what a nice guy right? Wrong! He obviously has a hidden agenda and we will soon enough find out what exactly that agenda is.
Gaby is scared that she might be pregnant. Yes, you just read that right…PREGNANT! (Blind sex must be powerful!) I can’t imagine Gaby juggling another child.
Jackson tells Susan that he wants to take their relationship to the next level. If I know Susan as well as I think I do, she’s going to freak. I just don’t think she is ready for “the next level”.
Tom tells Lynette he sold the pizzeria, which I am sure she was thrilled about. Not. We find out what this bond between Katherine is Bree is all about and ABC says it’s “startling”.
Last but not least, Mrs. McCluskey loses it, gets outraged about something and the whole neighborhood thinks she’s nuts.
This sounds like an awesome episode. Can’t wait!!"
