Drea De Matteo joining the cast, as a series regular.

Wonder if she'll still be available to Sons of Anarchy at all, or if she'll be written out of there more permanently...

I wonder whether I'll be still watching. I skipped through most of the season and I don't feel like wanting to catch up.

Wasn't she the one on the show Joey?? I didn't like her then and I do not think I will like her on DH either. I guess they have to add her to take the place of Edie. I just want to see who Mike married! :unsure:

She was on Joey, yes. But she's best known for The Sopranos.

Gonna be a new family of Italians; there will be a husband and son with her.

So. Now we know who the bride was.

There's an interesting article about WHY http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2009/09/housewives-exclusive-find-out-why-mike.html

I'm glad. What I love most about the article is that Cherry himself admits that you can write well for a married couple and he's committed to do so. A refreshing approach. I hate when writers make excuses and say that once you marry a couple there's nothing else what to do with them. Lazy writers.

Gabby - I like the whole plot with Gabby and Anna and that surprises me a lot. I like it when Gabby has something good to do, losing her baby was a really good SL, so was all the adoption process. Eva can shine given the chance.

Bree - she used to be my favourite, but they're ruining the character together with Orson. Not liking it now and not watching it.

Lynette - I don't think another pregnancy is a good idea, but Felicity rocks whatever the SL is, hence I'll give it a shot. As long as she's with Tom and they are sure thing, I manage.

Susan - great to see Julie again. I hope she'll stay. Not so sure about the whole Katherine thing, we had this with Edie. When Katherine first came, I didn't like her and didn't care for her. They paired her with Bree and I did enjoy her as a character. Not anymore. DD deserves better than to be a vindictive bitch, though she sure has fun filming it. I don't think it's a good move as I doubt the fans cared about Katherine and Mike. It came out of nowhere and it was stupid.

Edie - I miss her. I really do.

The new family - don't care too much about them, but I don't remember a new family on DH I cared about.

Final verdict - I think I'll stick around for some time to see what's going on with Gabby and Lynette.

PS: I FFed through some parts, I admit.

YAY for Susan being the bride. I love her with Mike. :couple:

Never have liked Catherine, although Delaney plays her well. Last night I almost got a chill when she told Susan it wasn't enough.

Agree that they're taking Bree in the wrong direction. Don't like her with Susan's ex at all, although I did laugh at her changing the sheets and cleaning the hotel room before she would meet with him.

Gabi is shining right now, being the mom to that teenage brat. I wish she could make Carlos understand how important it is to straighten that girl out and show her that someone cares.

I was so afraid Julie was dead. :no:

Lynette's scene with the expectant mom was a scream. I was ROFL the whole time she was recounting all the problems with kids, and about how all women lie. She voiced something I've thought for years. :rotf:

Does anybody else think the new mom in town resembles a young Portia di Rossi? Looks like she's going to be a bitch on wheels.

I think Carlos will get it very soon.

Drea also reminds me of Portia and someone else I cannot recall now.

Sometimes Drea looks like Madonna to me. I am slow to warm to new characters but I think they will be a good addition.

I have never cared for Catherine. Susan had a bunch of work done during the hiatus, her eyes are too tight.

Lots I liked about the premiere. I agree with the praise and pans above. As Mani said, the BEST was Lynette's scene with the expectant mom. :fall:

I'd like to see more with the gay couple. I like them.

I never like the new family either. They're cannon fodder so it's hard to bond.

Yep, Lynette with that young woman was a scream. i know this is a soap but one wonders why Lynette would not have had her tubes tied or have hubby get snipped if she was that fertile. i wonder if she'll lose the kids then go into a huge depression. Also this pregnancy is about as unlikely as Reva's considerting lynette had chemo too.

>> have hubby get snipped

Lynette made that demand on Tom... he went to have it done... lied about doing it...

Like it wasn't enough when he was scarcely on before.

Anyway, I wish him luck.

Dax, how did you like the premiere?

I liked it.

Lynette - Yeah, loved the moment with the happy girl in reception, and the confession to Tom that she didn't love the babies yet... powerful and perfectly played.

I like Katherine as the scorned woman, and think it's good that they went this way with it - Mike/Susan now, instead of later, and this is a fine thing for them to do with Delany...

Gabi - Yeah, I like the premise here. Last year, they got a lot out of 'What if she had daughters that were so much UNlike her?' Now, it's a troublesome niece that is a 19 year-old HER... it's fun.
http://www.thefutoncritic.com/rant.aspx?id=20090925_desperatehousewives

Bree/Karl, and Orson... The sheets-shopping scene was fun. Interested to see where it goes...

New people - Don't know much yet, obviously. I like all the actors. My first assumption is that it's more likely that Nick (father) just attacked Julie in the closing than that Danny (the kid) did...

Julie looks really hot.

I'm a huge Madonna fine so I never really realized that Drea does resemble her! Good call!

The older couple is a hoot. Good to see Orson Bean again.

Glad Julie will be OK. I was shocked to hear that she thought she was pregnant. I don't remember that scene from last week. Did I miss it? Or was it cut?

Good for Gabi getting to the truth about Anna and Danny. That new family is no good.

I wanted to smack Katherine when she tried to kiss Mike. If Susan had walked in on them I would have thrown something at the TV! Do you think Katherine's going to hook up with Orson?

Neither; we didn't see that Julie/Lynette scene, but I don't think we were supposed to have... it was new information here...

Katherine/Orson - maybe. Whenever two people that haven't shared many scenes together before START having scenes together...

I think that Katherine's goal is Mike, so with Orson, it may be just a pact to help each other. Honestly, I don't care. I think this SL is stupid. She and Mike were not a real deal. They accidentally hooked up and it wasn't a great love or anything. This SL would make much more sense if Mike married Katherine and Susan going ballistic. They were married once, share a son, memories, there's a real history. There's nothing between Mike and Katherine to reminiscence about. DD needs a better storyline.

Yes, I could never see Katherine and Mike together. I don't know about orson, he is wierd enough to be compatible with her. I don't care for Bree and Susan's ex either.

I have NOT seen spoilers but I'm predicting the new family turns out to be good guys. It'll be a fake-out - Mrs. McCluskey's BF will be the strangler.

The strangler didn't look very old man-ish running away. Pretty agile.

I deeply dislike the yearly mystery thing. It has gotten tiresome. I really like Drea DiMatteo (I missed her on The Sopranos), but I hate the premises of the story. They are the same premises, every year. I thought last year was kind of okay. But apart from that their mysteries have always been disappointing.

Mike has always been extra-boring to me, and I notice that they keep giving Lynette all the heavy-emotional-lifting. Hey, she's great, I never get tired of her performances. The writers know she's a powerhouse actress and have given her this type of scenes from day one, as I remember.

Well, we'll see what they have in store for this year. It looks like a typical DH season. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't think it will be worse than the 2nd. Did they air one of their amazing promos this year? I'll have to youtube it.

True. I was sorta being facetious - unless we see a scene of the McCluskey BF being studly strong and jogging thru Wisteria. :P

I do hope it wasn't the new family though. Getting old AND a bit creepy that the *new folks* are always rotten. Starting to seem xenophobic or something.

It is really not on my must see list, and hubby hates it, but I still follow it sporatically. i agree, many of the plot lines are repititious.

I thought the strangler could be Katherine. She's one crazy bitch this year and like the rest of you I never saw her and Mike as a couple.

I totally agree with "the new family is weird and suspicious" scenario being so boring.

I FF through msot of it.

Also, Lynette needs a break. Do you think the twins will make it? I worry she'll have a miscarriage and then she'll feel guilty about it and Tom would hate her. As for mro ekids, I think they do need a new SL, other than being exhausted from raising kids.

I agree about Lynette, she sure does do all of the heavy lifting on this show.
