Oh I'm relieved they went this route with Orson. She DID just have a psycho boyfriend. That would have been a total re-tread. Now we get Orson all the
time. He's a great addition.
I avoided spoilers like the plague and I figured it had to do with Edie so I was floored when it jumped ahead 5 years. Not unprecedented by any means (Alias skipped ahead 2 years at the end of S2). And like it was mentioned in an article they will be filling in the gaps with flashbacks. I think it's a great jolt to the franchise, especially with 3 years left to go (with Cherry and 2 leads at least). I don't love his idea to do a prequel for the final season though. LOVED Gabby's 'affair with the electrician'. I love the way she thinks on her feet. Her non-reaction to Carlos' anger was hilarious. "You have to believe me, you're blind!" The opening with the names was a nice touch and a cute visual link too. Later Gabby's assessments of their names "If you're name was Francesca you'd be having lots of sex on Vespas" was 
Loved Lee/Bob getting to be a focal point for the show with their commitment ceremony. Loved how so much happened around it. Lee standing up for himself/Bob planning to buy him off with jewelery and then finally om laying it all down for them and Lynette was amazing. Funny with a poignant final touch. So happy Tom grew a pair and tossed Kayla out of town. And I knew Katherine was in good when all the ladies worked together to protect her after the shooting. I would have been happy if that had been the ending. Bree being mad at Orson for throwing his calligraphy skills in her face in her time of need I like that it wasn't one thing that softened her to him i
was several and she still didn't really change her mind until apparently some point in the 5 year gap.Andrew working at her company will be great :) But
yes he needs to be having hot steamy sex with Gale.
Mary Alice <3 I thought for a second that there was going to be a baby switch in the past and one of the kids (Danielle) was going to be the real Dylan for a minute. I was waiting and waiting for Gale to show up and by the time he did I was surprised. Well done. |

I bet Edie is going to come back married to Mike...
I loved how the 4 houseives all corroborated on a story to save Katherine after saying that she would never become a regular friend in thier neighborhood. I also love how Katherine just shot him. I figured it would be Bree who would have gotten the gun and shot him after seeing them both at the shooting range. (Which I still think is still bizzare that Bree knows so much about guns, being the proper housewife.) Don't know how I feel about the 5 year leap just yet.. I really did like Julie and will miss her on the show. They can't be Gabby's kids.. because even if Gabby is preggers in the finale, the kids can only 4+ at the most.. and that's way too big for 4 years old. |

Maybe I didn't read it right or read everything but didn't the article just say that the following characters/actors were not EXPECTED back? I
don't think it was a solid "They're outta here!" commitment. Obviously the kids were gone except flashbacks but I can easily see Julie and
Dylan and even Danielle popping up if only in a recurring basis.

I'm kinda mad that Julie, Dylan and Danielle never had the chance to share a scene together! Ugh!!

I just hope this isn't the beginning of the end for DH. It's jumping the shark now.

I really think it brings some life back into the show. The fastforward has me hooked, I definetely want to see how they got to where they are now.

If it doesn't work it could be Edie's dream. Who else would make Gaby fumpy with an overweight kid? And, I bet she's with Mike.

Eh, jumping ahead 5 years really just shows that the writers had nothing creative left so by making this huge jump, it's a way to start fresh. I
don't know how I feel about it yet. I hope both Mike & Edie stay gone. Niether really bring anything to the show. We get it, Edie, you're a slut.
As far as the kids, there's potential for Dylan, Danielle, and Julie to get some good storylines in so if the writers don't use them, it will be a
missed opportunity. And I love that Katherine is sticking around. Dana Delaney is one incredible actress, and her wit could give this show a boost.

Applewhites.

I also thought it was going to be Bree that killed Wayne, almost as a way of understanding doing something horrible and ending up with Orson. Also, with the
name thing from the beginning (Gabby explaining that she wouldn't be as pretty if she had a different name), I think that's funny considering Gabby
ended up with children that aren't what she probably expected.

^I'm so looking forward to Gabby being a diva mom next season and trying to get her kids to diet. It's going to be a chance for some pretty classic
Gabby dialouge.

Really, didn't anyone see it coming that the real Dylan was dead somehow & this was a replacement kid? *sigh* I was a bit disappointed by how they
played it out, but at least they offed Wayne.

to write Julie out as all Susan's best scenes are with Julie. I was surprised he never came back for her and instead made some play for Gabby. There is no
way the suits will let Mark Cherry do a whole season in the past though even if Cherry wants to do it.

Well, I think that by skipping ahead 5 years, Julie will be home from college and back onto Wisteria Lane. I'm guessing so will Danielle. And I'm just really hating the direction they've taken Bree in. Its just so...ugh. I can't even know what to say. As I was watching her flash forward scene and she was telling Andrew that she was going upstairs to take a bath with her husband...I was hoping she'd say "Rex"...instead we heard her say "Orson". F*ck, f*ck, F*CK!!! Why oh why couldn't she have said Rex!?!? Now THAT would've been some soap opera sh*t right there! Straight out of Melrose Place (remember the return of the newly evil Kimberly Shaw? That was fan-freakin-tastic!). Anywho...yeah. That 5 year flash forward to left much to be desired. MUCH! |

Just had to chime in - you guys are all acting as if we got a complete rundown of the future. Relax. Twas just a glimpse. There IS a chance Paul Young, Edie,
Julie, and whoever else will be back. We just saw a little piece of what the 5 women are up to in 5 years.

I read on USA today that Julie, Danielle and Dylan won't be back next season but March cherry did say that he told Andrea (Julie) parent's that not to
worry that Julie will be back sometime in the future and might even have a husband. So I expect Julie to return for at least 1 or 2 episodes.
