Dexter star Julie Benz has been tapped to star opposite Michael Chiklis in ABC’s new pilot No Ordinary Family.
The drama revolves around Jim (Michael Chiklis), a once aspiring artist-turned-police artist, and his typical American family who suddenly finds themselves with new “abilities.” Julie will play Jim’s wife, a gifted scientist who develops a power for superspeed.
Currently, Benz is starring on Desperate Housewives as a lap dancer who has just taken up residence on Wisteria Lane. In the season four finale of Dexter, Julie’s character, Rita, was surprisingly killed.
Sunday night on Desperate Housewives, we finally found out who didn’t survive Wisteria Lane’s plane crash. The episode also gave us a look at what the future would look like for the women if things had been different. Each of the ladies imagined an alternate future as they asked themselves, “What if?”
If you remember the last episode before the show went on a brief hiatus, you’ll remember that Orson and Karl were sparring in Santa’s cottage just before a plane leveled it and Mona was clipped by a wing of the plane just as she threatened to blackmail Angie and Nick while Lynette dove in front of the plane to save Celia from getting hit.
Last night’s Desperate Housewives was Nicolette Sheridan’s final episode. Sheridan’s character, Edie, served as the narrator (instead of the usual Mary Alice) and explained that she was electrocuted after running her car into a telephone pole. Then, the remaining women of Wisteria Lane took a road trip to deliver Edie’s ashes to her son, Travers, telling stories about Edie that were seen in flashbacks along the way, reminding us that Edie wasn’t that bad after all.
Susan told the ladies about the …
By now it’s hit about every TV related blog that covers Desperate Housewives, but I’m not entirely sure why anyone is surprised by the revelation that Sheridan is on her way out from the show. Sheridan has said a number of times that she intends to leave the show, and ET recently confirmed that Edie Britt is leaving..again.
Last season she was actually driven out by the other women of Wysteria lane, but she made a reappearance when the show went forward …
There’s more drama today over Balthazar Getty’s alleged exit from “Brothers and Sisters”. Now it is being reported he will be back next season. Show runner Alison Schapker told the L.A. Times, “Tommy is in no way permanently gone,” she said. “This is just the logical end to this year’s story. What we’d like to do is bring him back next year in a different way.” I’m skeptical about Getty returning. It’s a good way to spin why he …
The Awful Truth is exclusively confirming that Nicollette Sheridan is leaving “Desperate Housewives” before the end of the current season. Apparently, a script is circulating around Wisteria Lane that includes Edie’s exit and ABC is confirming she will be written out of the show. Insiders say the character will be killed off when Edie finds out her husband is trying to kill her. She will run out of the house, in an attempt to escape her husband, but will get in an accident, “something …
Much akin to Lost, Desperate Housewives is another widely popular show that’s had a great run and should be beginning to wind down soon. Originally I started following the show only because my girlfriend is a big fan, but admittedly I’ve been sucked in and count myself as a loyal audience viewer. If you’re looking for some season 5 spoilers, I’ve been snooping around to see what I can pull up. As these are spoilers I can’t guarantee their accuracy, …
Desperate Housewives reached a milestone with its 90th episode yesterday. The show which became so popular it even spawned a reality tv show is on its 5th season. The episode which premiered on ABC yesterday “Kids Ain’t Like Everybody Else” followed Danielle who returned to Wisteria Lane to visitor her husband and son. Lynette also returns home to find out about the garage band that Dave created after she specifically told him not to.
The episode was really well received and scored a 9.3 on the rating system at TV.com. The show seems to be off to a very strong 5th season and I think die hard fans and new comers to the show will agree that we are in for quite a ride this season.
Since the end of last season’s Desperate Housewives, it shouldn’t surprise you to know that Susan, Gabby, Bree, Lynette, Dylan and all the others from Wisteria Lane will be five years older when Desperate Housewives Season 5 premieres September 28 on ABC at 9:00 pm/ET.
During the flash-forward at the end of the season 4 finale, we learned that Bree will be promoting a new cookbook, Dylan will be getting ready for her wedding, Susan will be hooked up with a new man and Lynette, as usual, will be trying …
Desperate Housewives had went through a slight slump and lost some viewers, but last season the show managed to go back to the formula that allowed it to become a household name in the first place. Unfortunately, some people had already tuned out and didn’t get to catch the positive transformation. Luckily, there are places to watch Desperate Housewives online, so everyone can catch up and get ready for the next season.
I recommend watching Desperate Housewives through Netflix. They have all of the episodes available to …
