Wisteria Lane gets an alien, twins, and a murder

We get the wedding first, then the flashbacks? Is there any ABC show that takes place in a linear fashion any more?

My favorite line was Gaby talking about the problems her niece is having. "Yeah, she's one dead dog away from a country song."

When she started her first scene by being snappy, I thought "Ah, nice. There's Drea de Matteo playing the Drea de Matteo character."

As for her family, does anyone ever come to this neighborhood where they don't spend their first two shots on camera just staring menacingly out the window? I guess we're going to have another neighborhood kid obsessed with Julie.

Of course, then we get to the end and we see...whatever that was on her back. Is de Matteo an alien? It looks like she's got kind of a Videodrome thing going on down by her spine. That might be the worst tattoo removal scar I've ever scene.

As for the last scene, great cliffhanger. Is Julie dead? It doesn't look like it from the promos for next week's show, but that may not mean anything. How will they drag out a mystery that seems pretty obvious? Of course, the last time we thought the neighborhood was being stalked by a scary guy who lived in the basement and ate ice cream, it turned out to be his brother. I guess they can swerve us again.

'Desperate Housewives' returns in strong form

They're heading for a wedding on Desperate Housewives, but you'll have to watch to find out who "they" are.
Don't fret. The answer comes almost immediately, and while it may not be the answer some fans want, it's well-delivered and likely to strike most as acceptable. And that's just the first bit of good news about a strong seasonal return that starts with a bang, ends with a cliffhanger jolt, and offers a good story for each of the wives in between while dropping a possibly worthy new addition in their midst.
The newcomer to this suburban lane is a tough city girl played by The Sopranos' Drea de Matteo, who moves into Mary Alice's now-empty house with her husband (Jeffrey Nordling) and possibly troubled son (Beau Mirchoff) in tow. They clearly have a secret, because if they didn't, they wouldn't serve much of a purpose on the show.
Intros are efficiently made, but the episode's real focus is on the four main housewives. Whether it's Susan's wedding or not, you know she'll be preoccupied by it, so that's her story. Bree is torn between Orson and Karl (Richard Burgi, who has one of his best episodes yet), Lynette is still reeling from her later-life pregnancy, and Gaby is struggling to deal with her now live-in niece.
There's humor and poignancy in all the stories and good work all around. In particular, the hour serves as a reminder of how strong and varied an actress Felicity Huffman is, and of how strong a comic force Eva Longoria Parker has become.
It's true that, over time, Desperate has lost some of its ability to shock. (How could it not?) And it's equally true that the removal of the Mary Alice story has cost the show some of its depth. But it remains a very good TV series, and this is a very good start. There are landmines and possible dead zones ahead, as there always are for TV series. But depending on how some of these stories play out — Lynette's in particular — there's also the potential for a season that returns this already-solid show to top form.
And you get a wedding. What more do you want from one hour?

'Housewives' star attacked by Cross cookie

Desperate Housewives newcomer Drea de Matteo has revealed that Marcia Cross threw a cookie at her on her first day of filming.

Speaking to Desperate Housewives Network, the 37-year-old actress - Angie Bolen on the ABC show - added that the accident looked as though it was written into the scene.

"My character made all these cookies for the girls, which I guess is what they do on Wisteria Lane to become friends with each other - make each other food, even though we're the skinniest people in the world!" she said.

"The girls were getting so annoyed that in every take they had to eat a cookie and Marcia finally goes, 'I'm sick of these cookies!' and she goes to throw one on the dish and I wasn't paying attention and the thing came flying at me, hit me in the neck!"

She added: "I was like, 'Wow - she's trying to decapitate me!' It looked like it was written into the scene. It was pretty perfect and it was really funny but I think Marcia felt really bad."

Desperate Housewives returns for its sixth season Sunday, September 27 on ABC.

Kathryn Joosten's Lung Cancer Comes Back

Kathryn Joosten, who plays Wisteria Lane's cranky snoop Karen McCluskey on Desperate Housewives, is battling a recurrence of lung cancer.
Doctors found a spot on the 69-year-old Joosten's left lung during a recent physical. She was previously diagnosed with the disease in 2001, but went into remission after surgery, without having to have chemotherapy or radiation treatments. Joosten, who is also known for her role as the president's secretary on The West Wing, began smoking at 16, but quit after her first diagnosis.

"Well, I'm not the type of personality to take this lying down, and I'm not accepting it," Joosten told E! Online. She says her doctors are optimistic about her treatment.

Joosten has won two guest-star Emmys for her role on Desperate Housewives. Producers said they are prepared to write around the actress' cancer treatments, but also haven't ruled out writing them into the show.

'Mob' girl aims to shake up the Housewives

LOOKS as though the Mob could be moving into Wisteria Lane, as Drea de Matteo joins the cast of Desperate Housewives.

The star, 37, who won a Best Supporting Actress Emmy for her role as Adriana Le Cerva in The Sopranos, is set to shake things up as a brassy Italian mum with a skeleton or two in her closet.
Desperate insiders say show bosses were looking for a sexy replacement for Edie Britt, the bedhopping vixen played by Nicollette Sheridan.

After sleeping with most of the men in Wisteria Lane, Edie was killed off following a car crash in the last series.

But creator Marc Cherry says Drea's character will be a more mysterious addition to the street, rather than a sexual predator like Edie.

Nevertheless, the husband's of Fairview will not be disappointed with the newcomer, as stunning Drea has twice been ranked in Maxim magazine's Hot 100 Women.
