I'm wondering if GOD FORBID the actress that plays Lynette may want out of the show, or maybe her contract is being negotiated and they're trying to decide whether she's worth whatever she's asking for. Just idle speculation on my part.
I LOVE Desparate Housewives this year - I think it's the best season ever. The writing is wonderful, all the actresses are at the top of their game, I laugh every week when Gaby delivers her lines, I love how well-rounded all the characters are, the "good girl" Bree in the sleazy motel affair, the "shallow supermodel" Gaby actually cooking dinner and home-schooling her kids, Susan being something other than klutzy. LOVE it LOVE it. The only thing I object to is the new Drea de Matteo character, I love the character but do the new characters ALWAYS have to have criminal pasts and be hiding deep dark secrets?
