And get rid of Gabrielle. She's boring and annoying. Her husband makes me see red, too.

But the boys love her. She doesn't do it for me either.

She does nothing for me. I could flip on any soap and find a lookalike.

And how weird is it that she's the same age as the chap that plays her gardener?

She was on the Young & the Restless for about 2 years - and played a much more interesting character, imo!

I thought they might be close in age and they look it. I actually thought she was older than she is.

Incidentally, the women of DH are auctioning off their Golden Globes dresses at clothesoffourbacks.org.

If anyone can post a quick recap of last nights episode it would be greatly appreciated!

Figures.

I just wish something would happen instead of the same old thing. In every episode, Bree and Rex have second thoughts about their divorce, Susan makes an idiot out of herself at least once, Lynette can't control her heathens, Edie exposes every part of her breast except the nipple, and Gabrielle acts like a bitchy twit. Toss in three or five mentions of Dana and Mary Alice each, omit anything interesting or anything that could possibly progress a storyline, shake vigorously, and voila! You have Desperate Housewives.

Rex tried to reconcile with Brie, but she turned him down. Teri (I can't remember some names) finds out about her daughter and the son, and finds out about Dana by listening on their phone convo, then telling the dad that she knows about Dana, and he admits to everything. Umm, we find out that the son really didn't kill Dana (maybe the dad?). But the son freaks out on Teri, and she says he can no longer see her daughter.
Gabrielle is confronted by her boy-toy's parents and is forced to break his heart and make him change his mind and go to college.
The pharmacist is confronted by Brie's husband (who is very mean to him) and he gives Rex different pills than his heart meds.
I am sure there is more, let me think

Is it just me or is this show getting very predictible? I can pretty much see what is going to happen next. I knew the condom was the daughters and that the guy would have a heart attack while running the bases. I dunno I'm just not into as much as I was back in the fall.

Oh....and when that new character came on the screen, I knew he would be the "gay one".

I'm over it. And if I wasn't, the line about poor being a state of mind they threw in tonight definitely sealed the deal. I guess Marc Cherry is a Repug after all, he's taking his cues from Alfonso Jackson.

Teri Hatcher deserves such a better show than what this has become. She's fabulous.

I'm debating whether or not to watch anymore. I'm sure there's something else better on TV at 9 than that pile of crap I just sat through. Not only is it becoming predictable but the characters are starting to bug the hell out of me. I think i'm over the DH hype.

I could never sit through a whole episode without looking at the clock and thinking "it's only 9:25?"........"its' only 9:45 and there's 15 more minutes of this?"

As opposed to a great show like SATC or others where you blink and the episode is over.

I always thought DH was too much hype and not enough beef......it's like the show is always trying too hard.

I wish there was something better to watch at 9:00 PM.

DH has always been something for me to stare at until Boston Legal's on. I've never really been that into it, I'm glad to see that people are starting to tire of it. I think I'd like it better if Sheryl Lee were playing Mary Alice, like in the unaired pilot.

I will admit I wanted to see Bree beating the crap out of Rex and walking on him in stilettos last week. That would've been entertaining, but as usual- denied.

Laura Palmer!? That would have ruled, because any TP alumni in anything rules.

I'm still enjoying DH Sure - it wouldn't be bad to move a little faster but eh - it's a primetime soap so I don't expect anything to move too quickly.

And yeah - there was a lot of hype surrounding it - but bottom line is: it's a prime-time soap. I just happen to find it entertaining

Not when it's Madchen Amick being annoying and getting pregnant by Christopher when he was supposed to be finally getting his act together to be with Lorelai!!11!1!!1! /pointless Gilmore Girls rant

Yeah, they filmed the pilot with her but ended up doing the show with Brenda Strong instead. I don't really like her- her annoying voiceovers at the end are actually the thing I dislike most about DH.
