Despite recent reports that red headed housewife Katherine played by Dana Delaney will be leaving Wisteria Lane to star in a new ABC pilot called
Body of Evidence, these reports are false. According to Delaney's official website a statement was released quoting:
There are several articles out about Dana signing up to be on a new ABC TV Pilot Body of Evidence. Note that it's just a pilot, it's still in discussions, and there are no plans for Dana to depart from Desperate Housewives.
However if the pilot does get picked up, and Delaney has been suggested to star in the lead role, it would surely take time away from Housewives meaning Katherine might soon find herself joining Mary Alice and Edie.

With the sudden departure of Edie from Desperate Housewives in season 5, and Ugly Betty recently having been canceled there was suddenlly two very favored actresses on the market. Thankfully Nicollette Sheridan and Becki Newton both recently scored starring roles in new pilots.
Becki Newton has signed on to star in NBC's dramedy pilot "Love Bites", which follows multiple storylines of love and dating. Wherein Newton will be playing a social worker called Annie who also happens to be a virgin. Created by "Sex and the City's"Cindy Chupack.
Whereas Nicollette Sheridan is planning on starring in a new CBS comedy pilot where she plays a Hollywood stage mom to a teen starlet. This seems like good news for TV's two favorite actresses, lets just hope their characters become as iconic as their previous ones. Good luck!

If you're like me and still shocked at the whole lacluster ending to Desperate Housewive's Karl then you are not alone.
Zap2it's Jethro Nededog recently sat down with executive producer Bob Daily about the sudden departure of Richard Burgi's character and why it was such a tough decision. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
Our readers would hate us if we didn't ask you this. Can you talk
about the thought process of either killing Karl or Orson in the plane
crash?That was a very difficult position, because we loved
Richard Burgi. Everybody in the show from the writers down to the Kraft
services people loved Richard Burgi. He was just a favorite of
everybody, so that was a really tough decision. I think Marc felt like
that relationship with Bree and Karl was really fun, but it was so
uncharacteristic for Bree that I think the feeling was to keep that
going would have been difficult and would have transformed Bree's
character in a way. I think audiences like to see characters change a
little, but I really think they want them to return to who they are.
While that was a great moment for Bree, having that sort of unbridled
sexual relationship with a guy she had nothing in common with, we felt
at the end of the day, she needed to go back to being Bree. It was
going to be tough to do that with Karl.
You can read the rest of the interview at
Zap2it meanwhile what do you think of Desperate Housewive's having killed off Karl? Should we take Teri Hatcher's suggestion and bring Richard Burgi back as Karl's evil twin brother?

If you're like me and desperately missing Nicollette Sheridan's character Edie Britt who was killed off last season on Desperate Housewives, not to worry! The shows producers agree and have gone on to find the new 'Edie' who executive producer Bob Daily describes as "A great person to have on The Lane, the sort of vixen troublemaker. That's a great person to have on
a television show." Well I'm pretty sure like many suggested that soon enough the producers will be kicking themselves for killing off her character, but can there ever really be another Edie?
Well Bob Daily doesn't think so adding: "I think Nicollette was so great as that sort of blonde bombshell, I think we'd probably not go in that direction again
just because we've had that". The producers have also decided whoever they cast will be playing a recurring role in the next season, but will make an appearance sometime this season and will be stirring up some trouble.
Lets make her Edie's long lost sister because honestly can anyone ever replace the fiery Edie Britt?

Here we go again! It wasn't too long ago that Desperate Housewives actresses Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher shared an on screen kiss, a clever way to boost the ratings. But now its getting steamy on Wisteria Lane once again. Actress Dana Delaney will be sharing a kiss with Housewives new comer Julie Benz, who appropriately is playing a stripper that Teri Hatcher's Susan takes in.
Now of course I have no problem with this, its Desperate Housewives! If there weren't any girl-on-girl kisses I'd be worried the writers weren't caring enough. But is this just another ratings ploy? The news isn't getting the same amount of buzz back when Longoria and Hatcher kissed, most probably because they are respectively the two most sought after Housewives. But never did I think Desperate Housewives were um..desperate for the ratings? It remains to be a hit show, and despite not being the ratings killer it once was it still produces decent ratings that should keep ABC exec's happy.
But in all honestly, when 'stunts' like this are on a show, can it be called a ratings ploy or is it really the writers coming up with good storylines? Well thinking back on the Gaby and Susan kiss, nothing ever came from it, will this one be any different?
