Episode 5.01: Title Unknown (Season premiere)
Airdate: September 28, 2008 (tentative date)
A newly married man comes to Wisteria Lane to buy a house. He offers money to an old man if he and his wife can move in asap. One of the new couple is composed of Charles, a busy business man, and his wife Lila. They have a young daughter named Julia. Charles is away on a business trip and his way back home is delayed by snow. Two moms gossip about how Gabrielle can't say no to her kids and the fact that Juanita is eating a lot. The latter overhears the conversation and confronts the two moms. Bree is at a photoshoot for the cover of her first cookbook. She and the photographer don't agree on her facial expression when taking a pie out of the oven. The crew of "What's Cookin' Fairview?" drops by her house for an interview. During the interview, she introduces her staff, which includes Katherine. Mike drops MJ at Susan's house. [Note: Some people believe that the newly married man is going to be played by Neal McDonough and that his new wife is Edie.]
[Mike is] in the season premiere and looks to be sticking around.
General spoilers:
- Neal McDonough is joining the cast of Desperate Housewives next season as a series regular. McDonough is coming on as a new love interest for Edie!
- Wisteria Lane's resident gays, Bob and Lee, will be back for year five and we'll soon learn a lot more about the good-looking couple. Seems Bob has got some serious issues -- like, seek professional help sort of issues -- and it will all come out this season
- Mike and Susan have joint custody of their son M.J. and that they seem to see each other quite frequently.
- [James] Denton is coming back - in some sort of capacity. As for Gabrielle staying "frumpy," 1) Eva undoubtedly takes great offense to that characterization, and 2), let's just say that Gabs "won't be herself" this season.
YAYYY Last season was the best of all... So I really can't wait to see what happened with the 5 years later...
The gay couple are so annoying, I don't know why are they coming back...
Desperate Housewives season 5 will premiere on September 28th on ABC and it will start 5 years from where we last off. Here is behind the scenes where the cast talked about the new season and the story lines that are coming and a promo commercial for season 5.
