Here are my thoughts on this Sunday’s ABC dramas. Overall a really good night for both shows!

On “Desperate Housewives” we got to have the fun party girl Gabby back, if only for an episode, as she had to stay away from her kids who had the chicken pox because never had them. She stayed with Bob and Lee and as she put it, forgot how fabulous “the gay single life” is. They all had some of the best laugh out lines of the episode. However in the end, Gabby had to go home to her kids as they needed her, and we/she learned Bob and Lee’s fabulous gay life would be coming to an end soon as they were trying to adopt. It was a touching Gabby longed for what they had, while they longed for what Gabby had kind of moment. I hope they actually will make Lee and Bob more than just side characters at some point. They were great fun with Gabby in this episode.

Nick and Angie learned Danny ran off to New York to be with Anna, and of course feared that Angie’s ex Patrick might find him.

Lynette and Tom totally forgot Penny’s birthday and spend the episode trying to make it up to her. It was very “Sixteen Candles” in a way, and I felt so bad for Penny. However it was great to see her actually get an episode and story of her own. Half the time it’s like she doesn’t even exist.

Karen and Roy got engaged, with a big push from Nosy Neighbor Susan. It wasn’t what Roy wanted though, until Karen learned she might have lung cancer. Susan thought the wedding would be off, but Roy took charge and says it would be happening. This story was so sad! The actress in real life has been battling the disease, so to put it in the show has to be tough!

Katherine found herself lusting after Robin, and eventually told her as much and that it might be a good idea if she moved out given her feelings for her. The dreams Katherine were having were hilarious!

The best story however was probably Bree and her new assistant Sam. Andrew had been slacking off, even hiring a dunce who he was having an affair with! Sam swept in and convinced Bree to hire him, he’s her #1 fan after all. By the end of the episode it looked like Andrew might be out of the company, and Sam was drinking out of Andrew’s “World’s Greatest Son” cup. Oh yeah, he’s gunna be trouble for sure. I bet he’ll even find a way to move into BRee’s house and Andrew’s old room somehow.

On “Brothers & Sisters,” Rebecca seemed to be distancing herself from Justin and everyone else in the wake of the loss of the baby. I can see Rebecca disappearing for awhile at this point and not telling Justin.

Luc was set to be deported, so he came up with a plan to marry his business partner. It of course took Sarah the whole episode to realize she loved Luc and didn’t want him to marry her, but they weren’t ready to be married yet either. Oh boy! He has four weeks left before he’s deported! My guess is somehow this will time with the end of season.

Robert and Kevin broke up, as Kevin decided it was time to pursue his own dreams. Robert had a new mysterious job he wanted to bring Kevin along to, but he wouldn’t tell Kevin what the job was yet. I felt it was a big tease to not only Kevin, but to us because Rob Lowe isn’t going to be sticking around. Maybe it’s a way to write him out without killing him off?

Kitty and Buffy broke up too, but it wasn’t as easy for them as Buffy didn’t want to go, no matter how many times Kitty fired her! In the end she finally did.

The big story was Saul and Holly trying to uncover what this Dennis York guy wanted Ojai for. They found a clue, something called New Lake. But Nora only knew of it as a jingle William used to sing. It however seems to be a real place and somewhere on Ojai’s many properties. A geological survey was done, so it sounds like either gold or oil. However Nora still acts very weird, I think something more is going on with Dennis, she knows something and isn’t talking at all. I can’t help but feel she had an affair with him, but that might be too easy.

Here are my quick thoughts on last night’s dramas “Desperate Housewives” and “Brothers and Sisters.”

First up on “Housewives,” I am absolutely loving Julie Benz as Robin (the stripper). She’s been amazing on the show. Yeah some might consider her an Eddie replacement on the outside, but the gist of this show was to show that inside she was nothing like Eddie and the girls on the block realized not to judge her on her past in this episode. FYI, Julie Benz was only to be a guest role, she’s been upped to recurring, with a possibility of being added onto the shows cast.

I thought Susan’s story with Robin was somewhat painful, and not just because Mike was in pain. Once again we had to watch Susan act like an arse and put her foot in her mouth, treating Robin like a slutty stripper because she was helping Mike out with his constant back pain. This time though I can’t fault Susan too much, I mean seeing a younger attractive woman with her hands (and feet) constantly all over her husband, yeah, she might have some issues. I think though they should have talked about it, especially given what we later found out about Robin! There really was no reason for her to move out, other than to advance another story of course.

The other story of course was Robin moving in with Katherine (to try and save her friendship with Susan) and then putting the moves on Katherine! Yup, Robin is lesbionic, or at least bi. Katherine was asserting how she was over dating men, when Robin suggested she try pursuing other avenues which is what she did. They shared a quick kiss, which was more about rebuffing some pigs at a bar than anything, but later Katherine started to think about Robin. I actually found myself really liking their story above all others this episode. This story might actually work and not just be some ratings stunt.

Gabby, in an attempt to keep Anna away from Danny, offered to send her off to New York to be a model. Anna however really likes Danny. Yeah it’s not hard to see where this is leading, and given the spoilers for 2 weeks from now we know for sure.

I can’t believe the show did it, but they did, they made me actually feel for Orson in this episode. Bree, using Robin’s advice, tried to get Orson excited with a strip tease that failed miserably. However in the end, she and Orson made strides repairing their marriage. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, I expect Orson to *bleep* it up when he gets his legs back and hides it from Bree.

Onto “Brothers and Sisters.” I am not enjoying the Kitty storyline at all. Frankly I think the announcement of Rob Lowe leaving is what has turned me off. I’ve always had my ups and downs with Robert, but knowing he’s going makes this story not very enjoyable. Though they did bring back Park Dad this week, perhaps they will get a second chance? I dunno though, he might feel like he was the consolation prize really.

I absolutely loved the storyline involving Sarah and Roy, along with Luc’s return this week. Sarah trying to convince Paige that sometimes the stable boy is the better choice over the one who makes your heart flutter and stomach turn. We all knew she was trying to convince herself to make it work with Roy, and in the end he dumped her because it wasn’t working! She was however very romantically reunited with Luc, via Roy’s gift of a painting they saw and she loved. Little did she know Luc painted it. I did however wonder, hello, was the painting not signed? Was their no artist credit hanging in the gallery? I guess that would have taken the romance out

Rebecca lost the baby, not the way to celebrate Valentine’s day, which was the focus of this episode. I think from the spoilers we all knew it wasn’t going to happen. I think some of us probably expected it not to happen even before the spoilers given the tension between her and Justin. Oh and did they ever do anything with the story that he might have a learning disability? It seems they’ve just ignore him and his schooling for weeks now!

Holly once again made me actually like her in this episode. Not only did she not apparently sleep with Dennis, she came clean with David about it. She also canceled her sale of her shares of Ojai to Dennis. Yeah you know he’s gunna be pissed. I love when Nora went off on Holly at the end of the episode and then Holly admitted she didn’t go through with the sale because Nora had earlier told her that they were now family and that meant everything to her. Nora said it best . . . “Holly you are exhausting!”

Of course we were left with Holly telling Nora who was after her shares, and Nora looking stunned by Dennis York’s name. Ahhhhh! I want to know the secret! Who is he and why does he have it out for William so? Is this a love triangle from the past involving Nora? Are one of the Walker’s not William’s kids? Tune in next week I guess.

We got new episodes of both “Grey’s” and “Practice” this week, competing against the Olympics for viewers.

On “Grey’s” we got an episode where many of the doctors shared past experiences so the residents could learn from them. The current stories thus weren’t really advanced too much. However the show was really enjoyable, and some interesting things may come from it.

Callie’s story, in which she worked with Alex, revealed they had a past fling. Uh oh! Arizona did not seem to happy at all, especially since it seems she’s been grooming Alex as her student. Situation awkward for sure.

Bailey’s back story, how she went from a shy little intern to the terminator was really good, and my favorite part of the whole episode.

The Chief’s back story, when he was younger with Meridith’s mom, was interesting because we learned it was her mom that turned him onto alcohol, he didn’t even like it before her. This could be interesting if Meridith ever found out.

Onto “Private Practice,” lord no, they did it again. More baby deaths! Addison and Naomi had a patient whose baby was born prematurely and with some condition that basically the steps they had to go through to save it not only were painful to the baby, but also did almost nothing to increase the baby’s odds at surviving much longer let alone having any kind of normal life. The parents wanted to try it, but Addison eventually stopped saying she couldn’t keep doing this to their child and they’d have to get another doctor. In the end, after a talk from Naomi, the parents realized they had to let their child go.

Yet another heart wrenching story, but this time at least it wasn’t there to just be there. Maya’s wedding was coming up, and Sam finally told Noami off, to grow up and be a parent otherwise Dink’s mother would take her place, she already was in some aspects. Naomi, through the story with the baby, realized how lucky she was to have Maya and was there for her on her wedding day.

In the end Maya did get married to Dink. I had hoped Naomi turning up would have caused second thought, that at the altar she would have stopped and said this was a mistake and rushed into, but they said their “I Dos.” Blah, we all know they aren’t going to live happily ever after!

The wedding lead to other drama for some of the guests. Sam learned about Addison and Pete and he was furious. He tried to pull the same thing Addison did, saying Pete was his friend just like Naomi was her friend. He told her he did not even want to see Addison anymore. Sam is just being a baby at this point, but I think we all know they’re going to give into each other (and probably get walked in on by Naomi!)

The drama between Charlotte and Cooper continued. He found out her new boytoy was a drug addict, while she was horrified to see Cooper is dating a replacement of her (blond and southern). At the end, at the wedding reception, they had angry sex with one another.
