Yup; I sure do!

I always liked her (Jo Marie Payton{-Noble}; any relation to Walter?) as the mom on "Family Matters".

Bree repeat after me: My name is Bree Van De Kamp and I am an alcoholic..please because being on the front lawn is not cute. Not at all....

Noah....bad bad man! Paul..I just want Felica to get you.

Susan/Karl- sigh...you complicate the simplest things...

I knew the show was back when Felicia showed up again.

Wow at Gabby and her mom. Yay at Carlos!!

Bree: giiirrrrllllll.

Lynnette: nice touch at putting all those wine bottles on her porch!

Andrew: stop messing with Bree. You saw what she did to George, and yet you insist on messing with her still.

I feel for Zach. I wanted to slap Paul when he told him to stop asking about his birth parents.

Carol Burnett soon will be reporting to Desperate Housewives' Wisteria Lane as Eleanor Mason, the cold stepmother of Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross). Her arrival is tentatively scheduled to air April 9 (9 p.m. ET/PT).

"I thought this would be a hoot," says the comedic legend, 72, who starts taping next week. "I'm a soap opera fan. I've watched All My Children for a hundred years, and this, too, is a very campy soap. All these crazy things happen in this one town — just like (Children's) Pine Valley."

For Housewives creator Marc Cherry, it's a casting dream: "I learned how to be funny watching Carol Burnett."

Cherry is writing Eleanor as an evil role to differentiate her from Burnett's characters on her 1967-78 variety series.

"Eleanor took over after Bree's mother was killed when Bree was a child," Cherry says. "She's a very tightly wound, proper lady for whom appearances mean everything. A lot of what Bree has become came from this woman," and their relationship is "polite but strained."

Burnett had but one request for Cherry: "I said, 'I want her to be a little (meaner).' It's more fun to have those villainous takes — like Miss Hannigan," Burnett's wicked role in 1982's Annie movie.

Eleanor comes to town with her husband, Henry, after Bree's son, Andrew, announces his intentions to be emancipated. "Andrew is bringing up all sorts of family secrets, and they want it stopped," Cherry says.

So far, Burnett is scheduled to appear in only one episode, but all parties are open to a return visit next season.

Burnett has been selective about the roles she has chosen since her daughter, Carrie Hamilton, died of cancer four years ago. Burnett's energies have been devoted to raising money for The Carrie Hamilton Theatre (carriehamiltontheatre.com), to be established in a small balcony at the Pasadena Playhouse.

As Housewives' second season winds down, expect new baby drama for Gabrielle and complications in Susan and Karl's secret platonic marriage. And the two-hour season finale, says Cherry, "will be a mixture of current stories and flashbacks on how all the women came to Wisteria Lane." Dead characters will return.

The show also will be giving Alfre Woodard and Mehcad Brooks' characters "a big finale" — allowing next season's mystery to focus on one of the four housewives, who "will end up in a serious relationship with a man who has some pretty dark secrets," Cherry hints.

Paul in the police van

I have a feeling Andrew is going to try to blackmail Bree again to get his hands on his trust fund...

LOL at Gabby and Carlos going over their pictures and asking Lynette to pitch them as potential adoptive parents!

Tom is feeling emasculated again...

Staying tuned...

Who knew she worked at the adoption agency? LOL Now Gabrielle is about to black market a baby.

Felicia looks like she just saw a ghost when Paul got out of that car.

That they're going to get caught???

That is kinda sexy though, that he took that kind of initiative to do something spontaneous.

With Lynette's luck, there are cameras in the elevator, lol.
It was sexy.

[Obsession8]

Oh, Susan, Susan, Susan...

LOL at the nurse calling Dr. Ron's love interests "skanks"!

Bree is about to go gansta on Andrew again...

Can't wait 'til next week!

[StarFish106]

Bree, fo real girl i'ma need you to come clean...Andrew is up to some shady stuff and you are going to need to bring your A game to this party...

Gabby and Carlos: Since when did you get all pro kid Gabby?

Susan: just STOP IT!!! You make your life so complicated....


Felicia: I love your secretive snooping always suspect self! Not feeling the haircut but I love you anyway..


Lynnette: you got your hands full again

[nikki1920]

Susan: no words.

Dr. Ron: you were funny as heck when you said, "Let's cut the b open."

Nurse: can YOU get a life?!

StarFish: she got all pro kid when someone said she couldn't have one. But this trip will be interesting to watch. I mean what are the odds that the mother of the son she had an affair with would be their adoption social worker?

Bree and Andrew:
And where is Danielle? (oh, she's still making out with sexy black boy)
I can't WAIT to see Carol Burnett as Bree's stepmom.

Lynnette and Matt, I mean Tom: *smh* No words for you either. Imma need for Tom to make up his mind. He can't be in control in both places and he can't expect any slack from his wife just b/c she's his boss. And the elevator probably did have cameras.. lol..

Paul/Felicia/Mike/Dana's Father: Ya'll are one big mess. I feel bad for Zach most of all though. All of you, except Mike maybe, are manipulating him. STOP IT!.
