In late April, the housewives will visit Travers, Edie's son to tell him what happened to his mommy.

Jesse Metcalfe @ Watchman Premiere

Former "Desperate Housewives" hunk Jesse Metcalfe (and his eyebrows), who appeared in every season of the ABC dramedy, apart from the current one, made an appearance at the premiere of "Watchman" in Hollywood on Sunday night.


After his Wisteria Lane gardener character was reduced to a recurring status, the actor appears to have found work in straight to DVD horror genre.


Last November Metcalfe was in the entertainment news again after being hospitalized following a nasty tumble 40 feet from a balcony at an afterparty for the World Music Awards in Monaco.

"Desperate Housewives" Spoilers #5.16 "Crime Doesn't Pay"

When "Desperate Housewives" return from a small hiatus next Sunday, Bree will discover Orson's shocking secret. What is it? Find out after the jump.

In a gesture of friendship, Bree tells Lynette she'll help Tom secure a new job, but the best intentions will reach a tempestuous end and reveal Orson's shameful misdeeds. In other words, Lynette may be interested in Tom's job herself and Orson may be revealed as kleptomaniac.



Gaby finds herself in a precarious position when Carlos' adulterous boss begins using her to cover for himself as he continues to cheat on his wife.



Finally, Edie digs into Dave's past after a chance encounter with an old acquaintance. Since Nicolette Sheridan's departure from Wisteria Lane has been confirmed, it appears Edie's curiosity may end up costing her too much.Then again, after two false alarms (Edie's supposed suicide in 2007 and her being ousted from Fairview in 2008) who can take any news of Edie's demise seriously?



A character who has previously appeared on the show is however rumored to die in this episode. It all starts March 8 at 9/8c on ABC.

"Desperate" Stars Support Charity

"Desperate Housewives" Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria made public appearances on Saturday, supporting charities of their choice - Keep Memory Alive Foundation (Hatcher) and PADRES Contra El Cancer (Longoria).

Eva accepted a $200,000 check from AT&T on behalf of her charity organization. The donation to PADRES will support families coping with the devastating effects of childhood cancer.

Hatcher and Longoria recently filmed their much-touted upcoming on-screen kiss, a ploy designed to help the 5-year old soap keep its recently weakened ratings strong. The kiss will air during the sweeps.

Eva Longoria @ Golden Globes 2009

Eva Longoria claims she is just a "boring housewife." Proving she is anything but, Wisteria Lane's sexiest gal sizzled in her glamorous self on the red carpet at last night's event.

Gale Harold's Return to 'Desperate Housewives" Still Up in the Air

According to the latest reports, Gale Harold's ("Queer as Folk," "Vanished") return to "Desperate Housewives" following his October 14 motorcycle accident remains up in the air and his character will remain out of sight, for the time being.

Earlier this week, when the show came back from its Christmas hiatus, the viewers could hear Harold's voice during a phone call with his girlfriend Susan (Teri Hatcher) which explained his character Jackson's absence (he was visiting a friend out of town).



Although the actor, who suffered some serious injuries in the accident, is recovering well, it will take him a little more time to come back to Wisteria Lane. According to his spokesperson, rumors that he would not come back or come back next year are not true.

Although I personally love Gale Harold, I am somewhat indifferent about his "Desperate" character, who seems to have gone through minor changes since his original short appearance in the final seconds of last May's season-ending cliffhanger.



According to spoilers, Jackson (Harold) will ask Susan to join him and leave Wisteria Lane for good. Since the show is expected to run for at least 4 more seasons with Hatcher on board, Susan will obviously have little desire to abandon her best friends.

"Desperate Housewives" Spoilers: 100th Episode Brings Back Beloved Characters

Gaby recalls how Eli helped her make new friends when she moved in; Lynette remembers how he came to her aide when she was overwhelmed and neglected Penny; Susan reflects on how he was always there for her as a shoulder to cry on each time a man walked out of her life; Edie looks back on their special friendship; and Bree thinks fondly of how a small gesture he once made helped get her to where she is today.

Gay Romance on ABC Sundays

Remember when back in the 1980s "Dynasty's" Steven and Luke (who recently reemerged here) were the only gay couple on prime time TV who got to give each other a hug once in a blue moon?

Following rumors of their split and coupling of one of the men with Wisteria Lane's naughty gay teen Andrew Van De Kamp, Bob and Lee on "Desperate Housewives" are still together when the show leaps to 2013 and they are now raising a little girl. Shawn Pyfrom's character will meanwhile become Bree's Machiavellian PR manager.



Over on "Brothers & Sisters," out actor Luke MacFarlane and his Welsh co-star Matthew Rhys are now both regulars on the show. Their characters Kevin and Scotty will face new challanges after their wedding in May, including Kevin's radical career changes and Scotty's attempt to reconnect with his homophobic parents.
