'Desperate Housewives' has NOT fired Drea de Matteo

You can fuhgeddabout widespread rumors that says Desperate Housewives is on the verge of whacking Drea de Matteo.

A Housewives insider insists there’s no truth to a report in The National Enquirer claiming the Emmy winner is being written off the show for budgetary reasons.

Per my source, the terms of de Matteo’s Housewives contract — which calls for her to appear in 20 of this season’s 23 episodes — remain unchanged.

Relieved? Disappointed? Indifferent? Pick one and post it below.

    Better Question: Have they fired Maiara Walsh? Girl hasn’t been on AT ALL despite being a series regular.

    • Louise

      That IS a good question! Good grief, I didn’t even notice she wasn’t in the past few episodes.

      • kellybelly

        Who is Maiara Walsh?

  • Nina

    Good. I like her.

    • Drea’s Dream

      They need to sex her up though….she was crazy sexy in Sopranoes

  • Vetinari

    This is the best season in the show’s history and she’s a vital part of it, doing a good job, so I’m glad she hasn’t been fired.

    • Jenny

      Listen ho this is not the best season. It’s really good, but does not top season 1.

      • Haley

        Shut up Jenny you sack piece of trash!

      • theduck

        “Ho”? Really? Totally inappropriate and unnecessary. Somebody needs a time out and their keyboard taken away.

      • RyRyNYC

        omg… Jenny i loved how u opened up with “listen ho” … i was 10x funnier than Vetinari’s comment

    • Realme2008

      Why you gotta go there Haley? That wasn’t even right to be calling me names. I don’t know how I’ll ever deal with a piece of trash calling me trashy.

      • Vetinari

        I’m a guy, so I just laughed the “ho” remark off, but thanks. :)

        I guess I should have said it was the best *in my opinion* but I thought that was obvious.

    • bondfool

      I would argue season four is the best. Strong mystery, the tornado, Nathan Fillion, Katherine before she became nearly insufferable, the cancer storyline and that brave, brave flash forward.

      • Daniel

        Totally agree: Katherine has become insufferable. Good grief, where’d she go?

      • Emma

        Yeah, Katherine is working my last nerve. Maybe this was all just a ploy to finally get us to like Susan? I’m just glad Matteo is staying. She’s hilarious opposite Bree.

      • Ika

        Totally agree…season 4 was one of the best for DH…and yes, Katherine is working my last nerve…just let Susan finish her off!

      • Allan

        Season 4 was one of the worst seasons ever!.. Seriously. This season is definitely one of the best so far but Season one is clearly the ultimate.

    • Jenny

      So a man can’t be a ho? Way to be sexist.

      • Louise

        Jenny, go away.

      • Theone

        You “keep” mentioning ho’s! Good job

      • no

        No, it is widely understood that ho is a term meant for women. Quit pretending to be feminist.

    • Jenny

      A man can be a ho also. You sexist jerk.

      • Ivy

        Yes, guys can be ho’s too, they are called heho’s :)

      • I am a man ho

        I am a ho, I love it when your mama blows me for money

    • Heroine

      I agree, this is the BEST season! Great writing :)

  • Natalie

    I’m glad she’s around. I like her character. I hope they keep her around for the long haul!

  • matthew c

    who the heck is Miara Walsh? never heard of her. as for Drea De Matteo, love her.

    • Chris

      You ever hear of Google Image Search? It would take approximately 2 and a half seconds.

      • ej

        dang bitch u cold

      • Emma

        you know, I actually kinda like bing now.

      • Monica

        Ooooor you coulda just replied with who the hell it is. It woulda taken less than 2 secs. But I’ll go ahead and reply to Matthew since you cant be bothered.

    • Monica

      She was Carlos’ neice that went to live with Gabby and Carlos. I had actually forgotten all about her.

  • SPIKE

    Yeah, I’m glad she’s sticking around. The story is tired – we’ve seen the neighbor with a secret thing a million times now, most recently with Katherine – but Drea brings some life to what was becoming tired.

    I’m loving Angie way more than Gaby or Lynette these days.

    • Cardsgal

      I’d love it if they’d keep Angela and send all of the Scavos off to Miami – permanently. I know it won’t happen, but I absolutely LOATHE Lynette.

  • SPIKE

    Matthew C – Miaira Walsh plays Gaby’s little ho-bag niece Ana.

  • nicole

    Ahhhhh…. I love her on the show, I was freaking out thinking she was gone. Yay, we don’t have to start posting the “Save Drea” campaign. Lol

  • Josh

    I’m really glad to hear that Drea’s sticking around, especially now that she’s finally starting to befriend the housewives. She’s a talented actress, and brings a lot to the show, in terms of both storyline and comedy.

  • dawnselya

    when would they fire teri hatcher?

    • dana scully

      THIS!

  • lia

    Good stay on DH and keep her the heck away from Sons of Anarchy

  • Michelle

    I honestly dont care. DH is so boring this year

    • no

      So why watch it? I’m sure you’ve got other shows to watch, like Dancing with the Stars and Survivor. Plus, AI is coming up! Yay!

  • Realme2008

    Oh, my goodness if they fired Terri Hatcher I’d be one happy clam. Nothing against Terri, but Susan is annoying as *ell!

  • hola

    Please, please, fired teri hatcher

    • michka

      Why don’t you…just.stop.watching DS?

      There’s no way! DS is nothing without Susan and Mike! The haters just need to stop watching the show, we don’t need them.

      • michka

        I meant DH!

  • BSF

    finally, some love for drea! weeks ago most ppl were spewing hate about getting her off the show. i for one have liked her since the beginning and hope she isnt going anywhere. get rid of nick though , i dont think many ppl will mind.

    • no

      I concur. I loved her on Sopranos, I love her on this. Didn’t so much love her on that Joey Tribbiani show. But that’s neither here nor there.
