TV Alert: Desperate Housewives premieres tonite!

[Miss Mary]

All I can say is thank goodness she finally let her hair out of that tight 'do! I like her hair down (my preference, in general).

As for George -- ick!

Duckie - I thought of you immediately as I saw that scene. Thinking, Shawn has to like this scene!

Her uptight hairdo reminds me of a Stepford Wife. Seriously. As soon as DH started, that's what I pegged Bree - SW. Susan - dingy/major ditz. Lynnette - overwhelmed with kids. Edie - hidden agenda. Gabby - boring (my own opinion!), but her appropriate peg might be - spoiled/selfish.

Actor fired from 'Desperate Housewives'

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Page Kennedy, who plays a fugitive from the law on "Desperate Housewives," was fired from the hit ABC drama for improper conduct, a series spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Kennedy, who joined the show this season, was let go Friday after a "thorough investigation by the studio" of the allegations against him, publicist Janet Daily said. "Desperate Housewives" is produced by Touchstone Television, part of The Walt Disney Co.

Details of the allegations were unavailable, Daily said. A call by The Associated Press to Kennedy's agent for comment wasn't immediately returned Tuesday.

The alleged misconduct didn't involve another cast member, a source close to the production said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Kennedy played Caleb, a character shrouded in mystery and seen only briefly as he was held captive in the basement of Wisteria Lane newcomer Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard). In the October 23 episode, it was revealed that Caleb may be responsible for a teenager's murder in Chicago.

The role of Caleb is being recast, Daily said. Kennedy's final appearance on the ABC series is Sunday.

In an Associated Press interview last month, Kennedy, 28, said the "Desperate Housewives" role represented the chance of "making a name for myself."

He was so intent on joining the show, he said, that he passed on other jobs, including a recurring role on Showtime's "Barber Shop" and parts on WB's upcoming Rebecca Romijn series, "Pepper Dennis," and on UPN's "Love, Inc."

"I needed this opportunity to play this kind of character," Kennedy said. "It isn't the kind that comes around often and it's usually played by a name (actor). This is an opportunity for me to showcase all the years of training I've had."

The Detroit native had appeared in the HBO series "Six Feet Under" as a football player who died of heat stroke and made his film debut as a bad guy in 2003's "S.W.A.T." He's in the movie "In the Mix," which is set to open on his birthday, November 23.

"Desperate Housewives," among the top-rated series with about 25 million viewers weekly, represents "the biggest exposure I'll have gotten," Kennedy told the AP. He lauded Woodard as his favorite actress, and said the rest of the cast "has been so sweet and nice to me."

Page Kennedy played a man held captive in a basement on "Desperate Housewives."

Hmmmm... I just tried it again and got that.

Try to load it again once that scene starts playing. It works for me.

[GalvestonDuck]

Ah, got it that time. Thanks!

I wonder if that "fertilizer" reference was foreshadowing. Hmmmm...

Hmmmmm...

I can't believe George buys a house. Is Wisteria Lane not upscale enough?

Nah, he couldn't buy a house in the Wisteria cul-de-sac or else Bree might get the impression he was stalking her.

Marcia Cross (Bree) says the marriage proposal shown in promos for Sunday's episode (ABC, 9 p.m. ET/PT) "isn't even the big deal" compared to the ultimate effect George will have on Bree's life before the end of November sweeps.

I hope he didn't get her pregnant.

4 clips... three are basically the same as the ones ABC posted, the new one is Gabby trying to hide her pregnancy from old friends.

OMG!!!!!! Me too!!!!!

[GalvestonDuck]

Nah, I don't think Bree will be pregnant. After all, we already have Gabrielle on the way to showing. And then Joely Fisher (who plays Lynette's boss) is pregnant in real life and there's talk of that being written into the show. I don't think a third pregnancy storyline would work.

That's not what I meant by "fertilizer" anyway. I didn't even think about it that way. I just didn't want to give away what was in the clip and who was in that scene (for those who didn't want to watch). I don't know if the visiting character will make use of the delivery service or something in the future. But I'm certain that the scene and dialogue were necessary to some plotline in the future. Why else would they have highlighted it?

Watch the clip again... can you notice someone moving around near the visiting party's yard? It looks like they are heading to someone else's house. I think THAT is a future plot as well.
