Posted August 9, 201113 yr I think this deserves its own thread given it's the last season and all. Commences 25th September at 9pm on ABC. Hopefully it gets a decent send-off, though I hold little hope at this stage...
August 9, 201113 yr I am a huge huge fan. I have never ever been so dedicated to a show for a long time. I am so glad it's ending because last season really shows signs of old age and that it is time to be put to rest It has had seven amazing years with what I am sure will be an explosive eight and final season to follow.
August 9, 201113 yr Really?! I thought all that was too far gone for Nicolette to be able to return again..
August 9, 201113 yr No way would Nicolette return. She's in the process of suing Marc Cherry and ABC for God's sake! I don't hold much hope. I would say looking at it more objectively it had five great seasons and a sixth half-decent one. I've come to realise though that when a show once so good goes so off the rails it can feel as though its legacy has been ruined because obviously what's fresh in your memory is the crap stuff. I need to watch 1-6 through again to remind myself why I used to love it. If Katherine came back for the final series though I'd watch. Fantastic character. 01 Edie 02 Gabby 03 Lynette 04 Katherine 05 Susan ~~~ BREE Don't even get me started on Bree. She should've been killed off instead of Karl in the plane crash episode. A total parody of her former self. The Guardian have written a good article about it.
August 9, 201113 yr Marc Cherry apparently wants her back for the final episode: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...nal-return.html
August 9, 201113 yr Well as I say I'd be exceptionally surprised unless they just used unaired footage. I can't see her agreeing to go back, it would totally undermine her case in the eyes of the court.
August 9, 201113 yr I hope they bring Katherine back. In just a fewepisodes, she came out of a nut house and came out as a lesbian and then bolted off with her lover. It was incredibly out of character (her sudden leaving) and just seemed like a rushed and poor way to write out a character. Bearing in mind Dana gave them quite a bit time to let them know she could be having her own show which is now the amazing Body of proof. Edie coming back would be amazing. Would be nice if Nic and Mark sorted their differences out. Edie's departure is still very much felt i reckon and although i like Renee, she aint no Edie but a watered down version of her Ugly betty character.

A total parody of her former self. The Guardian have written a good article about it. Bree was pretty much the only reason I watched the first few seasons. I can't think of any other show to completely fuck up a character as much as her.
August 13, 201113 yr I mean Bree has developed, but could they really keep the S1 Bree for 7 seasons? One of the things that very striking about Bree was her 1950s housewife exterior and we have been slowly introduced into what made Bree Bree.
August 30, 201113 yr I will never forget the Bree that hid mini alcohol bottles in her spice rack and fell asleep on her lawn. She literally was the BEST housewife looking back! Such a shame it is ending now. I love watching the old episodes on DVD now and again. Still it had an amazing run and was a POP culture phenomenon, not many shows can claim the level of success it achieved. Edited August 30, 201113 yr by Jimmie
August 30, 201113 yr LITERALLY THE BEST! I'd say Bree was the best for three seasons or so, and then Lynette in the fourth, and then from five onwards clearly Gaby who really hit her stride. Although if we're talking all of the women then Edie takes the crown without a doubt.
August 30, 201113 yr Lynette really stole the show in Season 4 with her cancer storyline. She played it so well and it was an actual genuine time I feared a housewife could die on the show. The time jump benefited Gaby the most. She had her kids and her character dramatically changed from that. I liked how they managed to keep parts of the old self centred Gaby into her character. But what was most interesting for me was seeing her relationship with Carlos grow. They really grew to love each other as soul mates which was brilliant to watch.
