She’s alive! We haven’t seen much of Nicollete Sheridan out and about since Edie was killed off the show, but she was shopping with friends and her dog, Oliver, at the Malibu Country Market on Saturday. Look, they’re just like us.
Just seeing her makes me sad. She was never my favorite character, but I always knew Edie was vital to the show. We’ll see if they can make it without her next season, I guess.

With Sarah Palin’s recent announcement that she’ll be stepping down early as governor of Alaska, we’re going back to some old rumors that swirled late last year: that she could become the newest desperate housewife. Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly has the same idea.
It was sort of mentioned lightly last year, what with her hot career in politics and all….but now? This is seriously a viable option for the conservative pro-abstinence parent of an unwed teenage mother. Ken’s reasoning is that we need a replacement for Edie. I disagree — we need someone to take over the NRA-badge-totin role on …read more

Hard-edged tough chick Drea de Matteo — you know her from “The Sopranos” (and maybe “Friends” spin-off “Joey”…Anyone? Anyone?) — will be the next woman in desperation to take up residence on Wisteria Lane as a series regular, Entertainment Weekly is reporting.
Not moving far from her “Sopranos” roots, de Matteo will be the head of an Italian household, and will be married to a landscaper and have a “tightly wound” son, according to EW.com’s Michael Ausiello. Both of those roles have yet to be cast, but as long as they’re good actors, I don’t care who they are. I …read more

So, this is more of a theory about the rest of the season than just a prediction for tomorrow night’s show, but I have this feeling that Edie’s not going to die from the electrocution. The accident happened with far too many episodes left in the season for her to die from that, you know? I’m still thinking there’s some great shocking twist, and I’m pretty confident Dave’ll kill Katherine.
What do you think? Am I nuts and don’t know what I’m talking about, or am I on base with this?
P.S. Dear Edie: You look creepy lying there with your eyes …read more

Yes, we’re going to have to wait another week until we see what happens to Edie. She has survived the accident, and is in a coma. This, of course, brings up bunches of flashbacks (including this hilarious one of Edie competing with Gaby for some dudely attention).
Edie’s always been sorta the outsider, so it’ll be nice to see her in this way. Plus, now that she’s leaving, isn’t it about time she got her face in the ending of the opening credits?? Come on, Marc!

It’s funny, but Marcia Cross sounds like she’s taking tips from Bree’s mothering habits — and doing the exact opposite for her real-life children.
It’s good news (for DH fans) to hear that she’s got no interest in reprising her character of Dr. Kimberly Shaw Mancini for the Melrose Place remake — because she feels like she’s done everything possible with that character. How much more can she do with Bree?

I’m not sure this is a huge surprise to anyone, but Neal McDonough — dude who plays Crazy Dave on the show — told Access Hollywood that he’d be the one to murder Edie.
“I had to do something nasty to my wife in the show,” he said. “I go hunting in the woods and I’m not hunting for deer.”
He also goes on to say that he might kill someone else? I mean, the target’s Mike. Think he misses and hits Edie instead of Mike?
Guesses?
Also, can we talk about how Neal seems to be the only actor saying things he probably …read more

Desperate Housewives “The Story of Lucy and Jessie”
Air Date: March 15, 2009
Liveblog/recap
I’m watching the show by myself tonight. Neighbor Peggy’s got a lot of teacher-homework-business to do, so she’s missing out on the OMG 2 GURLS R GUNNA KISS episode. At ANY rate, I guess it’s all on me to make fun of the writers for using a tired, society-damaging device like a lesbian kiss to get more viewers. Let’s see if it was worth it…
9:00: The previously on shows Crazy Dave organizing his camping trip. This is one of the stories I’ve been dying to see more of. So …read more

Yes, kids, it’s time to delegate the title of winner or loser to six individuals from this week’s episode of Desperate Housewives. I very much appreciate the responses and votes this time, which made things easier!! Actually, I’m totally lying — it made things harder to decide, because y’all made some points that I didn’t think of. I’m only one man, I can’t play DH God all by myself! Also, I’m a woman, and yes I can! So onward!

Neal McDonough, the man who plays Crazy Dave Williams, talks to TV Guide — which is cool because we don’t normally see much out of this actor in the way of interviews. And he seems like a down-to-earth, less-than-crazy, normal guy, doesn’t he?
He confirms that Edie will not only die, but that she’ll die in the NEXT EPISODE. He wouldn’t say that Dave kills Edie, or anything more details about her death, though. I’m super, super excited for the Camping Trip of Death that Crazy Dave is orchestrating.
“She’s going to have a fantastic send-off,” he says.
