FWIW, from SpoilerFix.com:

Tom's big secret: Don't worry, I won't spoil it for you, but I will give you a hint: The original plan, assuming they go through with it, is something so jaw-droppingly major, you will soil yourself. It plays into the fact that he's never home, and it's far more troublesome and life-altering than a simple affair.

Oooooh, I never even thought of that! But it would really make sense if you think about it...

OMG...YES! Good one! That would be very "The Pilot's Wife". I think you are definitely onto something!

Alfre Woodard joining 'Housewives'



Los Angeles, CA, Apr. 12 (UPI) -- Alfre Woodard is joining the cast of ABC's hit comedy "Desperate Housewives, Daily Variety reported Tuesday.

The paper said the Emmy-wining star of "Miss Evers' Boys" will join the show for the 2005-06 season, playing a woman who moves into the neighborhood with her son.

Citing insiders, Variety said there had been speculation an African-American family would move into the cul-de-sac, but ABC and Touchstone -- which produces the show -- would not reveal anything about Woodard's character.

Woodard has also signed to co-star with Antonio Banderas in the upcoming New Line feature "Take the Lead" -- in which Banderas plays a former professional dancer who volunteers to teach dance in New York's public schools.

"Desperate Housewives" will be Woodard's first assignment as a regular series cast member since she starred as Dr. Roxanne Turner on "St. Elsewhere."

I am starting to think that MaryAlice/Angela was a few french fries short of a Happy Meal, and that she snatched baby Zack and claimed him as her own. Remember how Paul said that Mary Alice wasn't "well" sometimes? Even though I thought he was just trying to lie and cover his own skin, I think it may be partially true. And maybe MaryAlice/Angela had some weird mental issues and suicidal tendencies to begin with, and in the end, killed herself? I do like the theory of Mike Delfino potentially being Zach's father.

Could be post pardum (sp?). I mean if Mary Alice was playing surrogate to Mike/Dead woman, she could have flipped once she had the child and then decided she wanted to keep it... and dead woman wanted it back because Mary Alice promised and Mary Alice got all whacked out and killed the now dead woman. And Paul, being the sick twisted whack job he is, decided for fun, just to cut her into pieces. And the two keep baby Zach. This doesn't quite explain why Mike has a murder rap...

Onto the Gabby/Carlos deal... they both need to be slapped. I'm not really sure why Gabby doesn't just sell her clothes that she probably never uses anymore to make a few bucks to start out and divorce Carlos anyway. At least she would have a place to live... Hello Johnny!

So what do you think that Bree's son is going to do to shock her? He kind of scares me...

[kddani]

missed it tonight, out with the boy. I would love a GCer's rundown on what happened!

[GeorgiaGirl]

Hmmm...what happened tonight...

Bree brought her son home from boot camp because she thought that he would be tempted by all of the boys now that he's gay. She invites her priest over to dinner to talk to Andrew. Bree then tells Andrew that she is upset because he won't go to heaven if he's gay. He goes back to the priest and him how angry that made him. He also tells the priest that he is not actually gay but just pretending to be because he knew that that would get him out of boot camp. He does say that he is bi, though. He then says that he is going to punish Bree by being perfect and then when she least expects it doing something REALLY terrible. *I think that it is going to be something violent*

We find out that not only is Mike a killer, but he killed a cop. He gets the police file from his dead girlfriend and finds out that Paul Young was one of the people who purchased one of the toy chests.

Carlos takes away Gabrielle's credit cards after a fight. John gives her his. She also gets a man to buy her dinner. Once Carlos realizes that Gabrielle doesn't need his money he tears up the post-nup. *I still don't really trust him, though*

There was also a little side story about Lynette and her neighbor across the street, but I don't really think that that was important.

*Did I miss anything? Someone fill in anything I missed!*

Ooooo....and Susan's mom is still around and still very ditzy. She hits on the ice cream man, in front of little kids who are in line to buy ice cream. She also tries to set Susan up with a guy, and Susan's all upset because she thinks her mom is too crazy. Mom also tries to get her and Mike back together.

[AGDee]

We also found out that they identified Dierdre (the one Mike was looking for) as the woman inside the toy chest. I had said in a previous post that her name was Deanna, so I goofed there. But, that was a major confirmation, that the woman in the chest was definitely the woman that Mike was there to find.

[LeslieAGD]

And Diedre has been dead for 15 years. As Mike was looking over her file, he saw the list of toy chest owners and found Paul's name.

Is anyone else sick of Susan (and her mother)? The cutesiness of her being kinda bumbling and clumsy has worn off. Now she's just...well...desperate (and whiny).

I think the actual quote was "It's going to rock her world."

Folks might find this article to be of interest:

A soapy coming-out party.

Apparently, quite a few of Bree's lines last night came directly from the mother of Marc Cherry (DH creator/writer) when he told her that he's gay.

About Andrew, though: Because he came out in his 30s, Cherry was able to hear his mother's harsh words with humor and empathy. But Andrew, whom Cherry describes as a "narcissistic sociopath," will go to "a far darker place" and use his sexuality to further torture Bree. Cherry cautions that Andrew should not be viewed as anyone's role model. Says the scribe: "What he'll do in the fall to get back at his mother is so unpleasant."

Sick and tired of Terri Hatcher?! Impossible! Beyond impossible! Incomprehensible!

I wanted to smack her! She definitely puts the "Desperate" into Desperate Housewives!

Did you wish that Star Jones was on the show, like I did, instead?
