Over the last day Ausiello/EW have broken stories that one housewife is moving off Wisteria Lane by the end of the season, and another might be as well!

Drea de Matteo (Angie) is set to make a secret yet “explosive” exit in May. Marc Cherry reveals that the character was only to last one season.

Dana Delaney meanwhile has been tapped by ABC to head up a new pilot on the network. Should it be picked up she could possibly be leaving as well.

*Update* The Hollywood Reporter is also reporting that Julie Benz (Robin) has joined another ABC pilot, so it looks like Katherine’s lover may be off Wisteria Lane as well.

WOW! That’s a lot of cast members gone by the end of this season!

During the finale of “The Bachelor” the new cast of “Dancing With The Stars” was announced. With so many of my shows off the air, here is hoping I’ll get to keep up with the show this time around! “Heroes” was always the main competition with the show and it’s gone for the season. “Parenthood” could be a problem as I really want to watch it, but it looks like it’s now scheduled for Tuesdays rather than Mondays.

Here is the cast they announced. There are some misspellings I’m sure. I was trying to keep up as they went through them fast. A formal release will probably be out in an hour anyway.

Pamela Anderson – TV/Baywatch

Chad Ochocinco – Football

Aiden Turner – TV/Soaps

Erin Andrews – ESPN

Shannen Doherty – TV/90210

Buzz Aldrin – Astronaut

Neicy Nash – TV/Reno 911/Insider

Nicole Cherziendger – Pussycat Dolls

Evan Lyscech – Olympic Gold Medalist

Kate Gosselin – TV Reality Star

Jake Pavelcka – The Bachelor!

Kate Gosselin? Nooooooooooo! I think she might make a lot of people who might have watched tune out.

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.
