Desperate Housewives Season 4 - Page 36

I really hate to see Edie leave because I have always thought of her as one of the main characters. She has always put the desperate in DH.

Totally agree with Lynette when she slapped Kayla. If only she had gone home and slapped Tom too. What man is going to listen to his wifes side, that the girl made their son jump off the roof and threatened to hurt their daughter next, and still not see how dangerous the girl is? No man would. Tom used to just be whipped, now he's just an idiot. I used to think Tom and Lynette were the best couple on the show. Now I hope Tom and Kayla get killed off. (Or maybe they could just hook up with Edie where ever she's gone off to.)

Edie's not gone. She only packed an overnight bag for a quick visit. Hardly a moving van or for sale sign on her house.

The story line with Lynette and her step-daughter is just awful. The girl is awful, Tom is awful and so is Lynette. I wonder how they are going to resolve this.

I actually liked the scene with the four original friends finally coming together to face Edie. Time to get back to the core group.

That little Kayla deserved that slap. My husband doesn't like Lynette so he's happy to see someone give it right back to her the same way she dishes it out. He says Lynette is a master manipulator.

So, I guess that homemade grave site we saw a few episodes back that Katherine visited was the real Dylan.

Kayla deserved that slap and more, and when Tom took Kayla's side she should have made them both get out!

But next week is the season finale. I thought they were writing Edie off the show because the actress wasn't coming back next season?

I hated the 4 friends' shunning Edie. She was a single woman trying to protect her livelihood, which Bree was trying to destroy -- btw, isn't that illegal? If not, it should be, but in any case, the 4 friends are despicable for supporting Bree's attempts to destroy somebody's ability to make a living, and trying to make it sound like Edie's the only one at fault.

And yes, I always disliked Lynette and her "awful" family. But she should have figured out a way to get that demon spawn out of her house to protect her kids against instead of allowing herself to be victimized.... And not that I am a parent, but if I were, I would put protecting my innocent baby girl ahead of my husband's feelings any day, even to the point of kicking him and his evil bastard daughter out of the house.

But she was talking to her son on the cellphone before she pulled out, and she said there might be a way she can see him a lot more often. (Supposedly meaning, she's moving out his way soon)

Thank you. I'm glad someone agrees with me about Kayla.

The problem is, the sons actually committed arson and Kayla can implicate them while avoiding responsibility. That is what keeps the parents powerless to act.

But I agree that it's a dumb way to go, and that real parents would eventually suck it up and act like adults. I really can't stand the whole storyline.

Is 'Housewives' actress gone from show? - CNN.com

Don't know if this should be spoilered or not but just in case...

[[ NEW YORK (AP) -- When Edie packed up and left Wisteria Lane at the end of Sunday's "Desperate Housewives," viewers were caught by surprise.

The sudden exit of the neighborhood's blond troublemaker has fans wondering how this plot twist will affect the ABC hit series, and whether Nicollette Sheridan, who has played Edie during its four seasons, will be back.

For weeks, rumors swirled that Sheridan was out of the show. Both ABC and Sheridan's publicist, Nicole Perna, have been tight-lipped in response to inquiries about her imminent departure.

But creator and executive producer Marc Cherry was slightly more forthcoming. Yes, Edie's gone, he told The Associated Press on Friday. Then he added: "She won't be back for a few years."

What could that mean? Hadn't Cherry already announced he will bring his series to a close at the end of the 2010-11 season, just three years from now?

"We do three more seasons and then it's done," he said with a chuckle. "I will tear down all the sets personally.

"I want to be sure that when we leave the air, people still care."

But right now, what viewers really care about is Edie's future -- if any. Could her return in what Cherry carefully described as "a few years" have anything to do with another recent rumor that "Desperate Housewives" will adopt a "flash-forward" narrative device (akin to the storytelling style on "Lost"), which could restore Edie to the show as seen a few years hence?

"I only address one rumor at a time," Cherry replied.

Edie bolted on Sunday's episode when the titular four housewives -- Susan, Lynette, Bree and Gabrielle -- faced her down after she had pulled one too many schemes against them.

"We're done," Susan (Teri Hatcher) told her. "From now on, you are invisible."

"And we're gonna make sure every woman in a five-mile radius knows the kind of [stuff] you pull," said Gabrielle (Eva Longoria).

Edie tried to apologize.

"Did you hear something?" Bree (Marcia Cross) said as the women strode away. "Neither did I."

A few minutes later, viewers saw Edie toss a suitcase into her sports car and drive away.

"A climactic scene," Cherry told the AP.

But as the show nears its two-hour season finale next Sunday, fans are desperate to know: Is Sheridan done? Or is she still part of the show?

"We'll have to wait until next season and see," Cherry replied. ]]
