Kyle MacLachlan to leave the show??
June 12, 2009 by Amy Bartner
Kyle MacLachlan says he’s planning to leave “Desperate Housewives” because the commute from home (New York) to Wisteria Lane (L.A.) is too much for him, now that he’s a family man.
He and his wife, Desiree Gruber, and their baby Callum (who’ll be a year old in July) are his top priority — as they should be.
“It’s getting more difficult going back and forth,” MacLachlan said. “I’ll do the next series and see how it goes.”
“It’s such a huge change having children. It’s not about me any more – it’s about my family.”
Wonder what that’ll mean for Orson? His character’s becoming more obsolete with the divorce/Bree’s new affair with Karl.
He also said he wants more children.
“Callum is an absolute joy,” he said. “We’re going to try for another so they can fight each other!”

Great ! I’ve been saying to get rid of him all along. GREAT !
Yea I agree with Karl, I don’t think Orson will be missed much.
Good riddens! I was hoping Orson would be killed off in the fifth season finale, and was so disappointed when he wasn’t. I hate the thought of him coming back for season six. I loved Orson back in season three, he was awesome, ever since he’s either been a whiney whuss or a scheming idiot. Bree deserves better (though I must say Karl isn’t exactly an upgrade, but I kinda like the prospects of that storyline; it could get incredibly juicy).
But now, hit the road, Orson, and don’t you come back no more! It’s not Kyle MacLachlan’s fault, but Orson sucks! He indirectly/almost directly caused Edie’s death and wasn’t even sorry for it. What the hell? DIE!
