    for the final episode
    I wonder how they are going to do that. She's supposed to be dead right. Must be a flashback, or knowing American telly, a long lost identical twin???

    But she's suing the show's creator and left on really bad terms, so I HIGHLY doubt she'll be back. Marc Cherry's actual comment about it was "I don't know how I would do that but I have an idea for the last episode in which I want to [pay] homage to everyone that's been there before, you know, who's been on the show, so we'll see what happens with that."

    The part in bold implies to me that she won't be coming back.

    Aww!...all the poor DH fans, show is in it's final season... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Craigels


    when is it back ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,273 ✭✭✭PopTarts


    It started back in the US on Sunday.

    It was a pretty poor opening episode. Didn't really go anywhere at all.

    The last 30 seconds were pretty brilliant though.
    Bree found a letter in her post box, with the same wording of the letter Mary Alice received all those years ago! "I know what you did. It makes me sick. I'm going to tell."

    Is anyone caught up with the US? I cannot believe a storyline that I think is developing!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 205 ✭✭trendy88


    Anyone up to speed with this. Very surprising turn of events in the last episode.
    Mike is Dead

    Seems to be building up to a pretty good climax. Glad I stuck with it through some of the more mundane episodes this season.

    How do you know
    Mike's to die? I hope he doesn't!! :O I bet something's going to happen to Renee because the loan shark was really strange with her on tonights ep..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I watch it online so I'm ahead of Ireland.
    Yes Mike does die, shot by a loan shark hired by Ben.

    Orson comes back and tries to turn Bree against the girls. He is the one who has been sending her the letters, he has been stalking her for months. When she finds out and rejects him he sends all the information on the murder to the police and she is charged with the murder, their case is weak but because of her relationship with that cop, the police are falsifying evidence against her.

    One of the twins is the father, can't remember which. When he finds out he wants to raise the baby. After Mike's death Julie decides she wants to keep the baby though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 142 ✭✭shannie


    Wow :eek:
    I couldnt believe it either when I heard Mike was to die.. cant believe it!
    Bree gets found out:O wow.... i never liked orson anyways...

    anything happen with Gabby or Carlos?
    do the girls not confess to help Bree when she gets caught?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Yeah have tissues ready for the episode of
    Mike's funeral!

    Carlos comes out of rehab and quits his job cause he wants to be a counselor, and eventually Gabby supports his decision but gets a job herself as a personal shopper.

    They don't confess because her lawyer says the case against her is so weak that nothing will come of it, Carlos wanted to confess but Gabby talked him out of it.

    Please don't spoiler FUTURE episodes without spoiler tags.
    It's not fair for the people who are watching on terrestrial TV.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 206 ✭✭Creachadóir


    I've been watching the episdoes from the US too, but the next one isn't until the 29th of April :(

    Really keeping my fingers crossed that Tom and Lynette get back together. Do not like Jane!

    After 8 seasons this show finally comes to an end tonight, be interesting to see how it does in the ratings.

    how many weeks behind is rte 2 ? , susan discovered that mike had an autistic sister last week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    Apparently ABC hasn't been promoting it at all, I think it's going to go out with a whimper.


    As it should be, I've been following it at US pace and it's bloody awful.


    Junk_seller: RTE's about 3 episodes behind I think.

    the last few series have been completley forgettable , the set up at the end of the last series was so contrived and stupid , carlos ( awfull actor ) kills a charechter who shows up for no particular reason

    Have the last episode ever here and about to watch it :'(

    I actually think this is the only show that I fully folllowed for every season year on year.


    aaaaaaalthough I must say the show kinda already ended for me when
    Mike died


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 36,394 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    I have to say I'm relieved that's over. I had a strange, masochistic compulsion to see it out to the end. It went on for about 6 years too long and ran out of storyline before season 2 had wound down. Predictable and dull ending too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Finale episode on RTE 2 tonight

    Woah, let's not all post at the one time about the last ever episode here ok!! :p

    In fairness to the show, it had some great characters and witty dialogue despite some woeful storylines, and the final episode wasn't up to a whole lot. This happens to most shows that run on that long, particularly US Shows, but I for one am sad to see the girls gone. I'd be one of those people who gets attached to characters and am always sorry to see a show I like finish, same as Friends, Frasier, Buffy, Angel, Scrubs, and Sopranos before it. :( It was always something to watch that both myself and my girlfriend could agree on and made time for on a Tuesday night. Pinning all my hopes on The Walking Dead now, lol :D:pac:
