There was an interview with Steven Culp (Rex) in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly that included some general information on season 2.The producer commented in the article that he wanted the second season to focus on a new chapter in each woman's life - Gabrielle learning to live without Carlos (since he's in jail), Lynette going back to work, Susan working on her relationship with Mike, and Bree as a single mother.
So, that gives us a few minor spoilers.
- Rex is really, most sincerely dead.
- Zach does not kill Susan or Mike.
"If there was ever a time you wanted permission to run over a clown . . . ."
If I have to face a summer without the show, the least they could do is provide more than minor spoilers.
But I'll take what ever scraps fall from the spoiler table, I mean, I'm not that fussy.
I honestly couldn't think it more wonderful that they are actively seeking for a way to keep this show fresh. I love that each of the key characters has a new situation. It should keep us from getting bored, and therefore, should keep a good show from being "ABC'ed."I think Bree's and Lynette's story lines will be the most appealing. And, already, the new neighbor is intriguing.
No one really thought Mike or Susan would die, did they?
thanks!
Kriten from eonline says that sources are saying that Rex may still be alive. (It's a storyline that Marc Cherry is "kicking around") It'll end up that he's faking his death, like many of us guessed. She personally hopes that this is the case-and so do I.From reading her column weekly, I gather that the writers et al. are obviously aware of all the buzz and guessing and gossip and leaks! For example, Tom Scavo was supposed to have another wife, but when it got out he (Cherry) changed his mind. Cherry likes to suprise as much as possible.
Maybe we should come up with some kind of reverse psychology to get what we want, I'll start- I WANT REX DEAD!, I WANT CARLOS TO BE THE FATHER OF GABBY'S BABY!, I WANT ZACK TO KILL MIKE DELFINO!
I can't wait till September!
It's also been mentioned in several interviews that Bree and Rex were inspired by Cherry's own parents, and his dad died of a heart attack.So while it's not completely out of the realm that it could be faked, all signs point to a real death.
If Steven Culp's character, Rex, is dead, it would be in keeping with some of his other shows. Last year just before Desperate Housewives, his character on JAG died, and the same week the one he played on Star Trek: Enterprise croaked as well. Since he has so much experience playing dead, it was surprising that he didn't get a death scene here, but it sure does leave the doors open.
Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool.
I'm a little behind on my reading, but I thought I glanced over something in the issue with Oprah on the front about there being two different stories written for the John/Carlos/Gabby deal, and it's not decided yet which one will be done.

I found this article on yahoob and thought it was at least interesting. No major spoiler info though.From Yahoo News
'Housewives' Storylines to Get Darker Sun Jul 17,12:51 PM ET
LOS ANGELES - Next season on "Desperate Housewives": darker storylines and some dastardly deeds by a new neighbor. So says the show's creator, Marc Cherry, still buoyant from the show's 15 Emmy nominations, tying "Will & Grace" as the year's top-nominated series.
"Thrilled, thrilled, thrilled!" said Cherry. "I can't even think of another word. I was just really, really happy."He promises next year will bring "more surprises, twists and turns."
"We're going darker with some of the storylines, and Alfre Woodard's (new neighbor) character is just up to no good on that street," he said.
Cherry and series star Marcia Cross, who plays "Housewives'" uptight heroine Bree Van de Camp, carefully dropped second-season tidbits Saturday at a panel discussion dubbed "Queer is Just a Frame of Mind on Wisteria Lane" — part of Outfest 2005: The 23rd Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.
Cherry is gay, as are some of the others on his writing staff — and many fans.
"I think any time you get four or five really strong women doing desperate, dastardly things, I think gay men get a big kick out of it," Cherry told AP Television News. "The moment you put a woman in an evening gown mowing the lawn, it's just gay."
At midpoint in season one, Bree's son Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom) was caught making out with the new gardener, Justin ( Ryan Carnes), but the two actors said they don't expect their characters' pool embrace to develop into anything more.
"I don't think he's gay or straight. I think he's just Andrew," Pyfrom said.
Also a spoiler:I read on Defamer.com that Kelly Monaco (of GH and Dancing with the Stars) was offered a small guest role this season. Should be interesting--but no comments were offered as of yet.
ABC has announced this as the date they will air the new episodes of DH's!!!! Yeah!!!
