Desperate Housewives: One Will Die

*spoilers*

I haven't really been watching this show much lately because it sucks, but I when I have, it's mainly to see Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman. So this is sad news.

Marcia Cross is facing the axe from Desperate Housewives to give the critically battered television show a much-needed boost. Insiders also say that bosses want to kill off one of the five characters — and control freak Bree van de Kemp has been singled out as the most likely to be moving out of Wisteria Lane forever!

That would leave Nicollette Sheridan, Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria and Felicity Huffman to entertain viewers of ABC's Desperate Housewives.

We can reveal writers have been locked in secret talks about the shocking plan. Sources say Cross is the favorite to bow out in an episode during May sweeps, when top ratings will be crucial to guarantee the show's future.

"Ever since the show premiered, there's been talk that one of the key characters would be killed off," said a source close to the series.

"And ABC and show execs want a blockbuster plotline to woo bigger audiences and regain critical acclaim for the prime time hit. TV dramas like Dallas and Lost drew huge numbers when they hyped killing off a key cast member. As a result, after a recent meeting between writers and show execs, Marcia is being pegged as the girl most likely to go in May."

Lame. So lame. But I don't watch either cause Family Guy and American Dad is on...

Hatcher should go to rehab for anorexia....then die because her body couldn't handle a fish stick.

I think it would kill the show if she left. To me, she's the most consistently entertaining star on that thing. She makes the show.

The show is already killed. They are over the hype, just like Alias....which is done in May.

Well, Alias had three rather kick-ass seaons before it started to go downhill, so let's not compare an amazing show like that to this Desperate Housewives ****.

And the ratings for Desperate Housewives certainly aren't showing any signs of wear, it's still huge. I'll never know why, though.

After they killed Vartan, I knew Alias was toast. So sad.

Nicollette Sheridan actually entertains me more consistently, but she's not on as much, she's a side character. Just saying.

What the hell?!

Well, that will certainly stop me from watching then. Marcia Cross is the only thing that keeps me tuning in every week at the moment.

really? She's a good actress, but her character irritates me to no end. There's no way she'll be cut, though, I sweah. She's very talented, and I think a lot of people feel like you. Plus, she has that "weird almost boyfriend killed husband" storyline going, there's no way she can get cut before that is resolved.

So don't worry...

Ugh, kill off Hatcher.

Not just because of the whole bone-rack thing she's got going on, but the McBealian pratfalls are just too much to take. Blech.

I say kill off Gabrielle. That whole thing is getting on my nerves.... If they got rid of Bree, there would be no reason to watch.

NO WAY! They can't get rid of Bree. She and Lynette are the best. The show already isn't as good as it was last year and if Bree is gone it will suck. Now if they did off with Susan or Gabrielle I would be okay with that.

Why do any shows have to kill off anyone? I hate when they think they have to shock by death. If an actor wants out, okay, fine, but otherwise, it's stupid. We get attached to these characters, and it peeves most people off when they die. BOO.

If they rid of Bree...no one will watch the show. She was the most facinating and somewhat unique. She's more than looks and boobs...she has a real character.

Kill off Eva...she's way too overexposed.
