    I love “Desperate Housewives”, but storylines are getting a little tiring. All the housewives, except for Bree, have the same repeating storylines. Carlos and Bree are the most matured characters on that show.
    I hope they get together. She needs a goodhearted sexy latin man to spice her life.

    To say this is the whitest show is crazy. I am white and I love that finally they put spanish characters on. I am tired of black people put in shows as a token character. Eva and Richard have no white in them, yet they are relatable. Spanish people give that extra quality, just like Ugly betty. I have friends and co-workers that watch this from all backgrounds.

    I like Drea, but it doesn’t matter. This show was over a long time ago.

    despearate housewives might be a show with great actors and all, but as a fan i have noticed that the quality of the show has dropped; don’t get me wrong season 4 was really good but five sort of sucked speacially with edie’s death; as fan i am getting irritated, and was planning on quitting the show. drea de matteo joining the cast might have saved it for me.
    drea de matteo is one of the best actresess around; i just hope the writers give her a good storyline, and not make her a stereotypical mobster wife… i honestly think this show should have maybe another season left, and go out with a bang; not exaggerate with 3 more like they are planning to do, and it’s not because they care about the fans or the story of the show it’s because cherry and the network are a bunch of greedy bastards, who no longer care about quality, and will feed us any crap cause they know we will watch; that is how ignorant the network think the public is; honestly they are not too far gone from the truth.

    that is a horrible picture of her! desperate housewives has gotten really bad, its not that good anymore and they want to do 4 more seasons. by the end bree will be getting it on with gabrielle and susan will develop multiple personalities and lynette will have ten kids. I am so sick of season long mysteries that unravel at a snail’s pace.

    This is a first class actress and though I haven’t been drawn to DH because of the premise, I will definitely check it out with the addition of Drea. Even though the
    Sopranos were a once in a lifetime event, she needs to be more visible to her fans. The Sopranos, by the way, broke records for HBO in regards to viewers. The writing was unsurpassed and the comedic acting was off the charts! We can only hope David Chase quits being selfish and allows someone else the rights to continue the saga! DH is moronic and cannot hold an audience much longer unless they bring in super talents. Drea is one of the components that will help it stay afloat I am sure, since it allows her to be sexy again. I cannot wait to see her performance. And by the way, her death scene may have not been fake and sensational enough for some people, but it was realistic and well done. I just hope this DH does her justice and she is not slumming by being on another trashy white woman show where women make fools of themselves for men. Soooo trite and dumb!
