what did you guys think of teh finale? I loved it.

Im so glad Tom got rid of his brat of a daughte.r She was so evil! I loved the look on her face when she found out Tom had the shrink listening in on her lies. I felt a little bad for the family when she was carted off away, but it was for the best bc she was just so horrible

I've hated Katherine this entire season, but she got my sympathy at the end. I loved how all the women came through for her. That was so great. I dont get though why she felt the need to get a fake daughter? She left town and had no intentions of going back or seeing her husband again. Why create this lie?

I dont like how Bree has been treating Orson. She's been too unreasonable and I also hate how she's been keeping him from their son. Thats wrong bc he's been there for both of them. And she's such a hypocrite, telling him to turn himself in for running over Mike when just a few years ago, Andrew ran down and killed Carlos' mother and she covered up for it! I really wish she would remember that and go easy on Orson

Gabby is too funny. I felt bad for the crack dealer when she was telling her sob story, but she shouldnt have let her free. Loved her trying to keep the money. She deserved it after what she had to put up with.

And now onto the flashforward. Yay to Orson and Bree reuniting. I hope its within the next few months and not further down the line. Does Bree now have a job? She looked so different.

Lynette, what have they done to her hair? I hope thats not the style 5 years from now....lol

Gabby gained weight and she was wearing frumpy clothes! LOL...her kids arent too cute either. I think they might be adopted bc that girl looked older than 5 years old.

The bit with Susan was shocking. Im thinking Mike ends up dying. I just wonder how that ends up happening

I loved the ending, but I guess Edie is being replaced by katherine. :( I hate to say this but I think katherine fits in better with the women. Katherine has proven this season that she can handle a powerful storyline, whereas edie only storylines were trapping carlos in a relationship and dating susan's ex. The writers for whatever reason do not want to write for edie for some reason, its been 4 seasons with no results. I really like the 5 years later idea this show was going stale which is why I think edie and mike may be gone. I can't wait to see lynette and gaby's bad kids. :lol: I really liked the wrap up of katherine's story, I'm glad she didn't kill her husband. It was a shock to find out it was her daughter that really died.

I didn't think it was all that shocking to find out the real Dylan died.... they were playing that up big time at the beginning of the season, however what I did not see coming was that it was an accident. Dana Delaney has been awesome this year and I am so glad the storyline resolved in a way where she can be kept around. Her friendship with Bree has been the best part of this season. I loved the season finale, the 2nd hour was so intense. That house has previous experiance with hostage situations, remember when Zach held Susan there in the season 1 finale?

The flash forward is an interesting twist, I am currently reserving judgemet? Do you guys think after one season they will return to where they left off?

I can't wait for season 5. I hope Mike is dead muhahhhh B)

^^^ Thanks. The new season does look to have promise

I was wondering if they were going to show whether Carlos was still blind or not, but that question wasnt answered

I have some questions. Where is Danielle? Has she even been mentioned since she had the baby. Its like they forgot about her

Why oh why did Katherine move back to Wysteria Lane where she knew her ex husband and is cop friends were? She went through so much to get away from him, only to go back to the scene of the crime so to speak and invited all of this to happen again. She should have stayed away

Dylan was like 5/6 when she was adopted. How could she not remember that?

^^i also read its a full jump, OTH style... so i have no idea.

Danielle- I have no idea

Katherine... i think she lived somewhere else and then she got her money together and ran. I assume she knew Mary whatever on the Lane and stayed there. Her husband tracked her there and all that happened. I dont think thats where she lived with him.

As for Dylan, idk. Maybe she just kinda blocked it out?

Cheap21. What CassieFam said. They decided that when she had moved in to the retirement home where Rex's mother lives. Remember Bree and Orson went there with the plan to get her to see how awful it would be for her to stay there with all those old people.

I'm glad Danielle is gone (hopefully she'll stay gone during the next season). Same goes for Julie. She's really annoying, and Andrea Bowen is not a very good actress.

    • If you are someone who wanted to read this on IRNA & didn't get to it (before it was removed for being too long) PM me & I will see to it. (It's in my Dropbox, possibly what I should have done in the first place.)

    • Really? But it was sooooo unrealistic. At least they found a legit reason for him to not run (SilkPress Sheila ain't no punk or joke...lol). Well tbf it sounded like he was joking. So I didn't think he was serious until yesterday. And I felt...THAT'S IT? So it's good he said it aloud to Doug's face so there was no way to mistake how the scene was played...which well I did. Seems so...simple?...given what's been at play with Doug and Vanessa.    +1. I agree.
    • I absolutely love the idea of Krista Allen being on the show. I wouldn't saddle her with Jen though. I'd create a brand new character for her. She could be a diva who lives Beyond The Gates and is gradually seen at the country club. Then I'd do a slow roll out where the Duprees don't like her and her family because she is part of the first white family that "infiltrated" Beyond The Gates. Then slowly...and I mean slowly...expand Krista's character's family as a rival to the Duprees as some have said the show should have. A younger son to mix it up with Chelsea/Kat, a daughter to maybe run for office against Martin. Krista Allen could easily be a great matriarch for a rival family.

    • They said Kate was on the board too.  I am confused if that's all new developments or we always knew that.  I really have no idea why Kate would be on the hospital board.

Then in a brilliant moment she invoked the words of Claire Labine, said by Rosalind Cash as Mary Mae Ward to Stone, near death, a now very famous quote: "Every moment of my life, whether filled with joy or with pain, has the potential for grace realized. Whether it's an opportunity to learn, or whether it's to make a connection, or whether it's to find love which you didn't think existed, these are gifts from god & to throw them back in his face is something unthinkable to me." 
    • That would make sense; he is to DAYS as the Quartermaines are to GH, in terms of the hospital board. If only DAYS had a hospital worth being a board member of.

    • I think Arielle Prepetit is great, but I almost wish Naomi had been Nathan and Jacob were Jacqueline (shades of Tom and Margo). We’d have another Dupree son, and the idea of Bill being a disgraced role model for his male lawyer son would have a different resonance around masculinity and generational trauma, especially since we already have Chelsea for the female Hamilton daughter POV. Just for the balance.
