And So it Begins….

by Jamie Beckett

Good morning, everyone!! Happy Monday. I hope everyone’s ready for another week of dishing about our favorite show… I know I am! It’s that time of year again. Time for stars and producers alike to embark on press tours to talk about what their shows have in store for the fall. The Desperate Housewives cast was no exception, taking part in the Television Critics Association Press tour on the 17th.

Marc Cherry and all the ladies were on hand to answer questions. While Cherry covered some old ground (like the show ending with season 7), there were a couple of cute moments that have been quoted out there. He and co-show-runner Bob Daily, for example, talked about finally settling on moving forward five years after being too scared to tell the ladies they’d be aging 7 years. Marcia reportedly responded with a “who cares?” He also revealed that he frumped up Gabby because he wanted to show a more realistic picture of what the average woman looks like instead of everyone being glammed up all the time.

So, there ya have it. The first major press of the season. Considering ABC recently announced they’d be making promotion for the show a priority this year, you can expect to be seeing the ladies a lot very soon, along with more details of the new season. And, of course, I’ll be there to dish about it all. Before I leave for the day, I want to share some pictures from the TCA
event.

    I’m not sure I like the idea of it moving forward that 5 years. I didn’t care for the ending at all. Oh well, I’m sure I will still love the show.

    I like Eva’s new hair. I heard she is happy about her character because make-up is so much quicker, lol.

  2. Jamie Beckett Says:

    LOL… I heard the same thing. I can’t say that I blame her on that one. I’d want to cut down on my time in the makeup chair, too.
