Desperate Housewives: Desperate Ending

'DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES'' DESPERATE STORYLINE

'Desperate Housewives' wraps up its second season tomorrow night and it appears the cast of the show is opening up about their frank thoughts on the show's direction.

In THIS article from USA Today, James Denton reveals his discontent: "The cast got a little thick." Denton, whose character, Mike the hunky plumber, had virtually nothing to do this season. "We had 19 regulars this year, even more than 'Lost', so there were a lot of characters to service."

(Insert I'd-service-James-Denton-joke-any-day joke here.)

Meanwhile, it appears the flawless Marcia Cross has had her own skepticisms about her character Bree: "I love this part and what they have me do, but I've been at Marc [Cherry]'s door plenty of times going, 'You've got to be kidding."

What? Dropping your kid off in the middle of nowhere during a drunken stupor is not normal?

Lastly, there's that weird Applewhites family who vaguely comes in and out of the show's storyline from time to time. Mehcad Brooks who plays Matthew put it like this: "It's been frustrating. The show is called 'Desperate Housewives'; it's not called 'The Applewhites', and Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard) wasn't quite incorporated. There was seniority and priority, and we were marginalised and completely segregated from every family except the Van De Kamps."

If only they could capture all the drama that is taking place off the set and get it on camera.

In any case, creator Marc Cherry tells the publication that the Applewhites "are going out with a bang" in Sunday's finale.

Let's just home it's not yet another house fire.

Just cancel the whole damn thing!

Canceling the whole things sounds like a good plan.

Already posted days ago. I hope Jamie isn't one of the ones gone. He's actually a very nice and normal guy, not Hollyweird at all.

Shut your mouthes! I love me some DH on Sun. nights

We need a gay couple with kids to represent.
Why am I talking Ghetto? I have no idea. It must be the whole Wisteria "hood" thing.

So who's going??? I don't watch it regularly so I could care less personally, but was just curious. Or do we have to 'stay tuned' to find out?? Jerks....

I guessing someone gonna push Eva down a couple of stairs, Teri will get a face life that will kill her, Marcia is gonna spontaniously combust and the blonde chick is gonna catch some killer VD.

I think that the Applewhites will be gone and they also need to eliminate all of Lynette's work buddies. Their storylines are boring and ridiculous.

I used to watch this show and now I don't give two craps. It's gone downhill. I think it's just getting too silly.

The season finale was this past Sunday. The only characters that left
were the Applewhite's. Betty and her son Caleb moved away. The other son,
Matthew was killed off.
