Show Hide

Three days before her wedding, Gabrielle wants to know why Carlos hasn't RSVPed and he tells her he's not going because he'll jinx her marriage. She insists that Edie can't show up alone because everyone will think she has a problem with him seeing Edie. He says he'll burst out laughing when she swears "'till death do us part," so she gives up and tells him he can just come to the reception.

Lynette asks her sister Lucy for a loan to pay for her upcoming medical bills she'll incur in treating the lymphoma, but she's also strapped and can't help out. She orders her not to tell their mother, Stella, but she shows up anyway with her luggage, announcing she's there to help while Lynette goes through chemo since she managed to conquer breast cancer. Lynette wants her to leave, reminding Stella what a horrible mother she was. But Tom informs Lynette that Stella has come up with the $10,000 they need and they can't throw her out. Lynette tells him how Stella used to get drunk and smack her children around but Tom tries to persuade her that Stella has "mellowed."

He tells her if he can forgive her for Rick, she can forgive her mother. "So forgiving my mother is my penance?" she asks and he tells her yes. Meanwhile, Stella has been listening at the door. Later, when she's babysitting Kayla, Stella asks if she knows anything about a guy named Rick. Kayla offers to tell her, if Stella will let her watch a "grown-up movie."

Mike worries that Susan is going over the top in planning their wedding, but she wants to make sure it won't pale in comparison to Bree and Gabrielle's lavish ceremonies. That night, she catches Mike sneaking out at 3 a.m. He's started advertising himself as a 24-hour plumber because he needs the extra cash to finance Susan's dream wedding. She offers to scale it back but he vows that even though he's not Ian, he's going to give her the same wedding Ian would have.

Victor and Gabrielle have dinner with his father, Milton, who tells Victor that if his numbers stay high, he should run for Governor. Gabrielle declares she hated campaigning and she has no intentions of ever going through that again. The night before the wedding she finds Victor going over polling data and she tells him she meant it when she said she didn't want him to run for Governor, especially if it would mean leaving Fairview. He responds that she's going to be his wife, not his political advisor and she doesn't get any say.

She says she was already married to a man who put his career first and she swore never to do it again, while he's vowed to never again let a "stupid woman" hold him back. He tries to apologize, saying he's been under a lot of pressure and she tells him he now has one less thing to worry about since she's canceling the wedding. He says it's too late to cancel but she responds that it's "just in the nick of time."

The next morning Milton shows up early on her doorstep to apologize. She tells him it's not his fault and he insists it is, since Victor has always been desperate for his father's approval, especially since he's never gotten it. She wonders why she should marry a man who values his father's opinion more than hers. Milton tells her that after she left, Victor called him up and "tore him a new one" and blamed him for driving her away. Just then Victor arrives with roses and Milton sneaks out the back. He looks on approvingly as Victor and Gabrielle embrace.

Gabrielle is ready to walk down the aisle but is freaking out because Bree is late bringing her "something new" -- a bracelet from her honeymoon trip to Switzerland. When she finally arrives, Susan, Lynette and Gabrielle's jaws drop. Bree is pregnant! Alone with Orson later, she tells him she wouldn't blame him if he ran like hell. He swears to love and raise the baby as if it were his own.

Edie is feeling guilty about deceiving Carlos into thinking she's gone off the pill and is trying to get pregnant. He, meanwhile, has been doing research and is coming up with ways for her to get pregnant faster. She urges him to "let nature take its course," and he says that at their age, nature isn't on their side anymore and that her eggs aren't "farm fresh." He also forbids her to drink alcohol, at least until after the baby is born and she's done nursing.

She's on her way to Gaby's wedding and tells Carlos she'll see him at the reception. Just as she's leaving, she runs into the paper boy and asks Carlos if he'll pay him. Carlos is short of cash, so he goes through Edie's purse and finds her birth control pills.

At the wedding, Edie is taking the opportunity to quaff some forbidden Scotch when Carlos shows up early and catches her. He holds up the birth control and tells her not to bother explaining. In full earshot of the wedding party, she runs after him, calling his name. She tells him she really does want to have a baby but that she wanted to give him a chance to fall in love with her first. He tells her he doesn't believe her and he won't ever trust her again and Bree dissolves in tears.

At the reception, Lynette wants to know when Bree's due date and she vaguely answers, "the early fall" and changes the subject. Bree says she can't believe everything she's missed, especially with Susan and Gabrielle are both getting married. She asks Lynette what's new and she swears everything is fine.

Gabrielle has gone to fetch Victor so he can meet Bree when she overhears Milton telling Victor that by marrying her, he's secured the Latino vote and the Governor's Mansion is "as good as his." Victor's not sure he can talk her into him running for Governor but Milton assures him that now that he's her husband, the rules have changed and that a few pricey gifts will "tame that little spitfire." Gabrielle leaves without letting on what she's heard.

She sneaks into an unused room and finds Carlos downing champagne. He says he hopes he didn't ruin her wedding, but that he's also ruined his life. He laments that a few years ago he had it all -- her, the home, the career -- and now he has nothing. He's sure she wants to go find Victor but instead she grabs him and kisses him passionately.

Lynette keeps sniping at her mother and Stella asks her if she doesn't think people can change. Lynette says they can't, so her mother wonders what happened to Lynette, the perfect wife and mother, once Rick came along. Lynette swears nothing happened with Rick because she's nothing like her mother. Stella reminds her that when she got breast cancer, Lynette told her it was "God's punishment" and she asks Lynette if she feels she's the one being punished now. Lynette orders her out and insists she doesn't want her money but her mother refuses to go. Stella tells Lynette she can fight her, or she can fight the cancer, because she won't have the strength to do both.

Julie welcomes Bree and Orson home and asks where Danielle is. Bree tells her that she's spending a year abroad in Switzerland. Julie wonders why Danielle hasn't returned any of her calls or emails and Andrew blames it on the poor reception in the Swiss mountains. "This might not be as easy as we'd hoped," Bree frets after Julie leaves. Bree, pretending to be Danielle, types an email to Julie and just then Danielle calls from the nunnery where they've stashed her to ask to come home. Bree vows she's not coming home until after the baby is born but that they'll be up to visit her this weekend. She then removes her stomach padding and Orson notes that soon it will be time for the six-month size.

Susan feels so guilty that Mike fell asleep at the reception that she asks the reverend if he can marry the two of them later that night. MIke receives another late-night plumbing call, but when he arrives at "Mrs. Wolcott's," he finds the reverend with a suit. He leads Mike to where Susan is waiting for him in a white dress. He wants to know if she'll really be okay with this simple ceremony and she says only one thing has stayed constant in her wedding plans: Him. He tells her he's never seen her look so beautiful and the reverend begins.

Distraught over her breakup with Carlos, Edie leaves a note for him and then appears to hang herself.

AMY AND JOSH RUN AWAY TOGETHER IN HOLLYOAKS!!

[edible]

And Big Brother starts..

Show Hide

we find out in the finale that Lynette has cancer, Lynette's mother Stella comes back to pay and she's moving in I believe

I know S4 Spoilers. I'll post now -

Show Hide

The show's casting for a man in his early to mid-30s. He's apparently Mike's younger brother. He's described as "hot and buff." He's said to be "troubled" which could mean any number of things, considering his brother Mike's own history (drugs, murder, prison) could be described as "troubled." Look for him to show up at the start of season 4 and continue in a recurring role (10 of the first 12 episodes) next season.

The show is also casting a husband and wife who'll play a role in season 4's mystery. That is Mike's brother and his wife.

Susan will continue to be clumsy. Gabrielle will end up in her lingerie at least once.

Just because Lynette has cancer, that doesn't mean her marital problems will vanish. Look for Polly Bergen to stick around for a while as Lynette's mom Stella Wingfield.

Gabrielle's new husband Victor and new father-in-law Milton Lang are both expected to return in the fall. There's no word yet on whether Nicollette Sheridan's Edie Britt is truly dead or not.

Susan's story
Susan Delfino is married to Mike. In the fall, Susan, Mike, and Julie welcome Mike's younger brother, Terry, and his wife, to Wisteria Lane. This season's mystery revolves around Terry and his wife.

Lynette's story
Lynette Scavo is sick with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Polly Bergen will play Lynette Scavo's mother, Stella Wingfield, in a recurring role introduced in the season 3 finale. Also, Doug Savant revealed in an interview on The View that Jason Gedrick will return as Rick Coletti in season 4. Tom and Lynette's marital problems continue, despite Lynette's cancer. With Stella and Rick around, Lynette's already busy life takes a turn for the worse. Kayla will continue to hate Lynette.


Bree's story
Bree Hodge is pretending to be pregnant so she can raise her daughter Danielle's child without anyone even knowing it's Danielle's. We can expect this to be uncovered at some point.


Gabrielle's story
Gabrielle Lang is married to Victor. Victor and his father, Milton, both return in season 4. Victor dies. Eva Longoria has revealed that season four will have Gabrielle and Carlos getting back together.


Edie's story
The question of whether or not Edie Britt's suicide attempt was successful remains unanswered for now. In season 4, Edie's secret sister, Helen (played by Claire King) comes to Wisteria Lane.

i know i've posted the stories already, but there's more.

Doug Savant said in an interview - Rick will probably be back and that Tom wasnt going to let the Lynette/Rick thing go.

Carlos will be around for another season.

A big part of me hopes that Tom and Lynette stay together, just to be the couple who has the "staying power" on wysteria lane. I like Rick, though, and would hate to see him disappear from the show completely.

Also, It says on Wikipedia that Edie is still signed on for more seasons, but I guess that could mean anything, I think she's going to some up some of the mysteries on Wisteria Lane.

As for Bree, I dont really think that her storyline will be boring if it is just about the baby. I mean, there is so much that could go wrong with that, esp. if people find out about it. I really do hope that she embraces her son's sexuality, and that her family could be semi-normal for a while...

I hope that besides what wikipedia says I hope they give Gabby and Lynette darker storylines, although I know that they will all have dark storylines

Lynette with cancer
Bree with the baby faking.
Susan with the mystery with Mike's brother and wife.
Gabrielle with Carlos and Victor and that.

In a recent article Eva Longoria states she is delaying her honeymoon due to the filming of the new season. Eva states that filming begins: July 9th. (2 days after her wedding)

and I know i've posted the re-cap, but it will sum up abit of what i've said I think.

Another spoiler/thingg.

Desperate Housewives to Revive Andrew van de Kamp

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry recently announced that he'll finally give Andrew van de Kamp (Shawn Pyfrom), who has been largely absent from the show except as a background character something to do again:

Pyfrom"I think that he'll have some interesting gay adventures. Right now we're just winding down season 3, but in June the writing staff gets together and we'll talk about that. But you know, he's had such a tame year, it's time to kind of juice him up again… A lot of writers feel that sometimes, young boys say 'bisexual' because that's 'a stop on the way to gay town.' But you know, I actually think it might be fascinating if Andrew experiments, as long as we have some interesting complications from that. I know that so many gay teenagers do 'try it' just to please their parents. So we'll see. Something shocking would happen as a result.

exactly what I thought may happen
