Desperate Housewives: Weddings and Babies
So “Desperate Housewives” kicked off with Susan and Mike sharing a romantic dinner, but Susan expected a proposal . . . which didn’t seem to be coming. After she blew up at him, basically making a fool of herself as usual, Mike had planned to propose to her back at her house. Before he could propose though, Susan did!
This of course led to problems for poor Susan. She had to uncanceled all her wedding plans, only to find out that Gabby had stolen them for her own wedding! Okay #1 Gabby was a terrible friend for stealing Susan’s wedding. That was scummy of her. However #2, why should poor Mike have to settle for Susan’s wedding to Ian? He should be offended! He should get his OWN wedding with Susan that is just theirs.
Susan threw a fit over Gabby stealing her plans, but they eventually both apologized to one another. They then decided to have a double wedding . . . only to decide the next morning that isn’t what they wanted. However they didn’t want to hurt one another. Mike told Susan to claim he didn’t want to share their day, while Victor basically told Gabby that he was NOT sharing his wedding with a criminal. He showed his crummy side once again, basically the wedding is a political stunt for him and nothing more. While Susan was more sure than ever about her future with Mike, Gabby seems to be having doubts about Victor.
Elsewhere, Tom tried to trick Lynette into marriage counseling, the counselor was an old friend of his. This however infuriated Lynette when she found out . . . and rightly so. Later though Tom and Lynette got into a HUGE fight. Lynette admitted she had feelings for Rick. During their fight, Lynette pounded on Tom’s chest, hurting his back. He reacted by throwing her off him, and she hit her head on a table. This lead them both to the hospital where it appears Lynette might have cancer. I guess we can see how their marriage will be saved. Nothing like a death scare to do that.
Finally we come to Edie and Carlos. Edie had Carlos evicted, by telling his land lady he was a drunk and frequently picked up hookers, in order to get him to move in with her. He gave her a shock when he told her that he liked her, he didn’t love her. OUCH! I knew he still was holding onto his love for Gabriel. Edie then told Carlos she might be late, but it turned out she wasn’t pregnant. However it seemed they both want a kid, they aren’t getting any younger . . . so they made a deal to try and have a kid together. Oh boy, this is going to lead to NOTHING good. I have to say I’m not liking Edie right now. She is a schemer, but I feel she’s better than this. She’s using everything to hold onto Carlos, who has made it clear he doesn’t love her. The Edie I know at least has some pride!
Next week is the season finale. It’s Gabby and Susan’s wedding, Susan’s wedding being a spur of the moment thing. Bree returns, and has a BIG surprise. Lynette’s mom comes to town to help her deal with her cancer scare. Gabby learns a big secret about her new husband (why do I foresee her running and sleeping with Carlos?)
This was a great episode, based on the laugh-and-gasp-o-meter. I loved Edie and Susan talking with Lynette on the porch, especially with Edie slinking away (hiting a little too close to home…).

I’m in the minority here probably, but I like Victor. And if you think about it, he and Gabby are perfect together. She wants a powerful money-man, and he wants a trophy wife. Ta-da! Match made in heaven.
Why oh why does Edie want someone who doesn’t want her? Looks like Carlos finds her pills next week, though, so the gig is up. Can’t say I feel sorry for her………..

Why do I have the feeling that Bree will be “pregnant” next week. Covering for her daughter’s pregnacy.

She could be “pillow babying” it though.

I am wondering how long it has been since Bree left on her honeymoon. And how long it has now been storyline since the wedding. that could be a clue as to if the baby is hers. Or if she is doing a pillow baby to take in her daughters baby.

Victor needs to go away. The actor that plays him CANNOT act. I understand bad actors on soaps, but this is primetime. A little more effort on the part of casting directors could have saved a bad storyline.
The show needs to do a better job of tying up loose ends. The whole Susan-Edie friendship is so unbelievable.

gabby better watch out becuase victor has given her all the signs that this is going to be an abusive relationship. maybe carlos will save her and they will get back together.
