Desperate Housewives

First off, sorry for the absense. Some technical difficulties beyond anyone’s control. But, I’m here now and ready to share all the latest about Wysteria Lane!

While she’s been active in film and TV for years now, I first saw Alfre Woodard when she appeared on Desperate Housewives as Betty Applewhite, a mother who gives new meaning to the phrase tough love. Many fans were unimpressed by the plot, but I enjoyed it and her performance. She has this presence on screen that is hard to ignore. Still, the mystery was over by the end of season 2 and Alfre was off television. Until now.

She’s going to be co-starring in a new NBC series this fall called My Own Worst Enemy. Christian Slater is the lead in what is described as a new take on the Jekyll and Hyde story. Hmm…. that sounds kind of familiar, no? Anyway… Alfre will be playing his boss who also has a secret life. Guess all that time on Wysteria Lane is about to pay off

The series is reported to be scheduled for Mondays at 10 PM, so there will be no scheduling conflict for Housewives fans wanting to check out a former cast member. In other casting news, she’s also expected to be in the upcoming film The Family that Preys. In that one, Alfre is rumored to be playing the working-class friend of a socialite. Their long friendship is going to be tested, however, by their children’s problems. Sounds like quite the part I’ll update you on the film as more information comes out.

Well, that’s about all for today. Don’t worry, though, I’m just getting started Look for plenty more recaps, news and other stuff to come this week.

Good morning, everyone! Today, I have a couple different things in store, so let’s get to it!

It’s that time again. Awards season will soon be upon us and the Housewives are getting ready by submitting their Emmy clips. Marcia Cross submitted “Now You Know”, the season premiere. This is the episode where Bree finds herself having a very hard time keeping up her fake pregnancy. Especially when Ida Greenberg accidently stabs Bree’s stomach with a fork during a barbeque.

Felicity Huffman submitted “Now I Know, Don’t Be Scared” for the voter’s consideration. This is the episode where Lynette gets a little crazy about a possum in her yard, associating the uninvited guest with the cancer that snuck its way into her life. She sees the animal dead just as she learns she is now cancer-free and breaks down.

Eva Longoria has submitted “In Buddy’s Eyes”. This is the episode where Gabrielle uses Carlos to get good parking. She ends up breaking down near the end from the emotional strain of dealing with her new life with a blind man.

Teri Hatcher picked “Hello, Little Girl” for her Emmy episode. This is the episode where it is revealed to Susan, Mike and Julie that Orson was the one who ran over Mike. Susan is furious and confronts Orson, but is talked out of reporting the incident by Mike himself.

Overall, these are very nice picks, ladies! Sorry there are no recaps up right now for them… these episodes all took place before I took over. I’ll be catching up on them, though, so stay tuned to read more detailed summaries of the episodes. And, of course, I’ll let y’all know how the Housewives fare come Emmy nomination time. In the meantime, enjoy some other recaps of this season.

Before I leave today, I wanna share a couple pictures of some Housewives couples I found. The first is of Eva Longoria and her husband, Tony Parker. They were spotted at a party celebrating the launch of the Ingenieur Automatic Edition Zinédine Zidane watch in Paris on the 16th of this month.

And here is former Housewife Alfre Woodard with her husband, Roderick Spencer. They were spotted at the Green Cross Millennium Awards on June 14th in Santa Monica. Aren’t both couples too cute?

That’s all for now… see ya next time!
