In honor of "Desperate Housewives" end, I selected my favorite 9 characters of the show.
1. Bree Van de kamp: Bree's character is probably the only one with consistence in good acting, interesting storylines and evolution throughout the years in the series.
2. Lynette Scavo: IMO she was the best actress from season 1 to season 3, her acting wasn't as impressive during the last seasons of the show as it used to be, but overall, I think it was the most realistic character on "DH".
3. Gabrielle Solis: the character had up and downs, there were seasons where Gabrielle's character was good, and other seasons where it was a weak character, there wasn't enough consistency. But Gabrielle made laugh harder than any other "DH" character.
4. Susan Mayer: the acting was great, Susan gave us a lot of sad sensitive tear-eyed peformances, several of her scenes really impressed me although ocasionally I think the character evolution was bad and disorganaized, on certain points Susan could be "too stupid" and "annoying".
5. Karen McClueskey: Amazing acting skills and funny storylines, Karen's character and addition to the show is one of the highlights on Desperate Housewives.
6. Karl Mayer: In a series dominated and centered on Female characters, not many men could stand out, this recurring character and Susan's Ex-husband IMO was the best male character on the show, he was so funny, I praise at least the 90% of the scenes where this dude was involved
7. Paul Young: Sometimes It seemed a villain, sometimes it seemed good, but Paul gave a lot of mystery and suspense to the series, I praise his scenes with Susan. He was one of the most mysterious characters on "DH".
8. Carlos Solis: Despite the fact his storyline and writing was over the top, I find most of his scenes funny specially the ones with Gabrielle, and definately a moe entertaining character than his boring peers: "Mike" and "Tom".
9. Edie Britt: She is probably the 5th most popular character on the show, she was interesting, her few sensitive/human moments on the show where great and made me love her, but despite this, most of the time it was a superficial character, there wasn't too much depth or substance.
Well those are my choices..... I couldn't pick a 10th favorite because it was too hard.
The finale was beautiful! The scene with all the ghosts, Karen's death, th future of the housewives, everything was just perfect!! I only missed Edie, but obviously she was not showing up
