Although he insisted he wasn’t killing off any characters in this November’s big Wisteria Lane plane crash, Desperate Housewives boss man Marc Cherry has decided, on second thought, to kill several, including one that my mole says is a fan favorite. But who? Frontrunners for the ill-fated fan fave, as far as I can see, are:
The Vitale Family: Yup, I said it. Wipe out the whole family! This is like watching the season 2 all over again with Betty Applewhite and her moving into Wisteria Lane during the night time just in time to say GOOD MORNING to everyone and introduce them to her son, while leaving the other son locked away in the basement. And we all know how that turned out. Gabby lost her baby thanks in part to this family.
Orson: How do you write a klepto-killing blackmailer like this out of the corner he’s in? You write him out, period.
Karl: By the time his affair with Bree ends in disaster (and it will), Susan’s ex will have tried out pretty much every mattress in the neighborhood. Maybe now it’s time for him to test-drive a coffin.
Katherine: Time’s running out before her nervous breakdown stops being funny and starts being sad. Maybe she’d be better off if time was simply up.
Andrew: Shawn Pyfrom asked to be taken off contract this season so that he could pursue other interests in his free time. Having a plane crash into his character would give him even more free time, now wouldn’t it?
Julie: Given all her problems this season (pregnancy scare, adulterous affair, near-death strangulation, having Susan as a mother, etc.), I wouldn’t be surprised if she ran into the path of the plane.
Bob and/or Lee: These two aren't getting much screen time this season and are not as fun as Cam and Mitchell from Modern Family. And they moved in to Betty Applewhite's old house so if we follow 6 degrees of separation they should have something fall on them! LOL
Jackson: It’s a classic soap opera twist: A well-liked character vanishes, only to return on the very day tragedy strikes. But Cherry wouldn’t be that cruel… or would he?
Lynette's babies: I'm thinking that Lynette does not want these babies and this would be a perfect excuse to have her - um, well "loose them." If the explosion from the plane were to knock her down a flight of stairs she could have a miscarriage and while surviving herself be left without the newbies.
Carlos or John Rowland: Either one of these could send Gabby's world into a talespin and who would be there to pick up the pieces? OWWW JUICY!
And here I go hoping beyond all hope, why not use this airplane crash to bring back ah let's say EDIE! She can rise from the ashes so-to-speak and we find that she wasn't dead after all and that she's been in a clinical facility in a coma. Remember, we never saw a body only ashes. So her husband could have signed her into such a facility unknown to everyone else before he died trying to kill Mike. SO PLEASE bring back EDIE BRIT - STAT!
So who do you think will bite it? And remember, the doomed character may not be on the above list – my guesses are educated, sure, but not infallible – so feel free to suggest your own candidate(s) below…
