I'm Hyped!

All of the articles gaurantee that there will be more interaction amongst the housewives, an integral story involving every house on Wisteria Lane and characters (mainly Bree and Gabby since Susan and Lynette didn't change that much) acting like their true self.

Discuss!!

Awesome so far! Love the introduction of the new mystery. Orson looked like a punk last season... but obviously I would think that things are not as straight forward as they seem. Maybe she is locked up. I don't think he killed her.

Is Lynette still working? Loving that each storyline is being given good airtime. And love that Edie is actually on!!

It was good. Grew tired of the Mike/Susan thing and switched channels when that came on. LOVED Lynette's story tonight. That nosey neighboure in the beginning, LOVE the actress (name slips me), she can play anything perfectly! Nice to see the housewives together again. Loved Gabby! Some great lines tonight. Overall 8/10. Welcome back DH!

ETA: LAURIE METCALF that's her name...PURE GREATNESS.

The HUMOR is back and that's what I loved. I laughed out loud so many times and I haven't done that with DH in a while.

Loved Gabby and Carlos searching for Xiao Mai and Gaby getting the Chinese food dumped on her and then her peeling away from Carlos when he was going to open up to her about his American dream. Gaby is hilarious. Eva Longoria is absolutely perfect as Gaby. Oh -- loved Gabby laughing at Bree telling the girls she and Orson were waiting until they got married.

Bree and the orgasm was hilarious. I actually kinda like Orson. Very intriguing character and Kyle McLachlan is a great actor.

I was bored with the Susan/Mike stuff. It was sweet but eh ... lol. I kinda like Susan with the ComaHusband (his name slips me). And it was hilarious when she spilled the smoothie on ComaWife Jane. LMAO. Teri Hatcher plays clumsy so well.

I enjoyed the Lynette/Tom story as well. Fun. I love Kirsten Warren. She's hilarious.

Laurie Metcalf ... that woman is brilliant. I love her.

It was nice seeing Edie tonight so much! Her trying to sell Mary Alice's house was hilarious. Loved seeing Kathryn Joosten (Mrs. McCluskey) as well.

Good good episode. DH is back baby!!

Great one-liners.

Loved seeing Edie - and Laurie Metcalf!

Other than that, I'm sort of tired of how Bree always ends up with some pyscho - and I'm not a big Kyle M. fan.

They just introduce WAY too many characters on this show...Seems like Susan is always hitting on a new guy or has a new guy hitting on her every 3 episodes. Way too many names that I have to try and remember as they're brought up in the future.

And get that Saved By The Bell chick off the show - she's annoying in this role.

Susan's had 4 love interests on the show. Mike, Karl, Dr. Ron and now Ian. Now that many over 3 seasons and I don't consider Dr. Ron much of a love interest.

And how many characters did they introduce tonight? 2? Ian and Carolyn Bixby. And Orson's wife Alma, if you want to count her. So not that many.

ANYway, I loved the ep. So much fun, I'm watching it again right now.

    • Some other thoughts on today's show. I don't care for Bill/Hayley as a couple. I think that Bill is sexy and looked good on today's show. But I don't think that him and Hayley really have any chemistry. They seem mostly isolated on the show unless someone like Dani is sparring with one of them. I do wonder what is going on with Bill's hand and why it is trembling. He is trying to keep that from Hayley. I also don't care for June right now. I like Jacob/Naomi but would rather see them do something else than what they are currently doing with June right now.  I liked Nicole/Dani continuing to support one another after the fallout from their marriages. I think it's interesting that Nicole asked Dani if something was going on between her and Andre and Dani lied about it. I do wonder if Dani/Andre are starting to have stronger feelings for each other (maybe even falling for each other a little bit). It does seem like stronger feelings are developing between them and I wonder where that may lead for their storyline. And I enjoyed Anita/Vernon as well. I like that he supports her and wants her to do the reunion with the Articulettes. It does seem like at one of them really doesn't want much to do with her after she reached out on today's show. But maybe they will reunite and there will be drama between her and her bandmates. I am interested in seeing who the show may cast as her bandmates. I hope they get a couple of good actresses in the role. 
    • Looks like the Townhouse to me, I've been calling it Paulina's Townhouse (which Marlena and Kayla also use).
    • Angela Bassett was also on somewhere in 1985 wasn't she. The NY soaps did so much for struggling actors. That's one of the reasons I will never stop hoping we get more of them.
    • Oh, yeah as the episode went on, I love that they gave a plausible reason for him to back out. Most soaps who use an idea/story point to define a character would just drop it and make it seem so jarring and out of character. So I love common sense...or the SilkPress craziness...won out. 
    • All these years later, and Shelly Burch is still one of the most striking women I've ever seen.
    • I really enjoyed today's show. Today was the most I have ever liked Martin. It was very sweet how he invited Eva to get to know his family. He has good chemistry with her (along with Kat). I liked how she got to know and started to bond with his family including Samantha who was understandably standoffish with her at first. I thought her styling Samantha with different looks at the end was cute. Martin's family is her family now too and I liked how he made that clear to everyone at pizza night at his home. The twins have a new Auntie.

        I think it will be interesting to watch Martin/Eva bond along with her bonding with the rest of his family. And seeing how others including Nicole and especially Kat react to that. I thought for a moment that Kat might actually show up at pizza night after Martin invited her but she didn't. I also enjoyed Eva trying with Kat. They do have chemistry together and they are cute, lol. I do think they could end up being twins, but even if they aren't I still enjoy them together. Whether it's sparring or Eva trying to bond with her or whatever.
    • Hahaha. It was worth a try. Alas. 
    • There were lots of spoiler pics for week of May 5-9 of Devon/Lily/Holden/Damian/Amy/Nate/Audra. I posted them on the spoiler thread that week because they all looked so pretty. I was hopeful.  Sorry to read in the recaps that it was mostly discussion of Dumas!
    • Random Hump Day Reactions Despite my better judgment about commenting on appearances—what is going on with Philip’s skin? He looks distractingly sunburned. Did the makeup team forget to use foundation? Or powder? Or that they’re broadcasting in high definition? Meanwhile, Kristen looked like the saddest Alice in Wonderland. The dirndl was cute, but everyone in that mansion could desperately use a pop of primary color—and a reason to smile. It’s one thing for Belle to be blinded by love for EJ. It’s another for her to hear him admit to kidnapping Rachel and treat it like a punchline. Overall, there's zero urgency from anyone about getting Rachel or Kat back to Salem. Most of the time, Kristen and Cat seem to forget their long-lost mothers are still being held elsewhere against their will. At least when Doc, Kayla, and Kate went missing, people cared. Paulina even talked to that urn! (Still waiting to find out who was in the urn, by the way…) Raise your hand if you believe Rachel innocently brought up Tate’s baby. If your hand is up, do not click on any suspicious email links today. You’re vulnerable. And finally, deep breaths: Jamey—or someone he edits—named the miracle drug Versavix. Fun fact: real drug names are developed by branding teams after the research is done. Versavix sounds like the draft name someone scribbled during a Red Bull crash and forgot to replace. This isn’t even a good fake drug name. It’s like they forgot that the same show once gave us a literal ‘love potion’ that made Sami fall for Austin. Versavix makes me nostalgic for the days of ‘L-dopa’ and Stefano’s mind control chips, at least they didn’t sound like a discontinued allergy medication. (crud, another day, another broken promise to stop complaining about this).
    • Brandon said that a couple of months ago, and MVJ replied in agreement.  I'm intrigued.
