“Previously on Desperate housewives Orson packed his bags after finding out Andrew was the cause of Carlos’ mother’s death. Bree decided that it was time to come clean to Gaby. A dying nurse made a confession about accidentally switching two babies at birth, financial difficulties force the Delfino’s to rent out their house which in turn, aids the return of ex-con Paul Young.”
Season 7 continues in this racing fashion with not one, but two new faces on the lane who promise to cause surplus commotion, suspicion and complications. Lynette (Felicity Huffman) and Tom (Doug Savant) welcome another bundle of joy into their ever expanding family, adding to their already strained relationship. Matters are certainly not helped by the arrival of a new resident on the lane, Renee Perry (Vanessa Williams-Ugly Betty) who brings with her a devastating secret which could potentially be the breaking point of the Scavo’s marriage.
Bree (Marcia Cross) attempts to free herself of guilt by revealing something to Gaby (Eva Longoria Parker) that will inevitably test the strength of their friendship. Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Shavira) and Gaby both receive shocking and life changing news that one of their children isn’t biologically theirs. Turning to the Delfino’s, Susan (Teri Hatcher) and Mike (James Denton) are forced to move from Wisteria Lane as result of financial difficulties. When money becomes this tight it becomes evident that Susan will do almost anything to gain security; even if this something is classed as a little risqué.
Finally, when Paul Young (Mark Moses) returns to Wisteria lane, as the new tenant of the Delfino’s house, curious whispers begin to circulate. After being proved innocent of murder, Paul begins carrying out his plans of vengeance on the neighbours who shunned him during his time of need. The question is, will he succeed?
Sometimes when a series reaches this stage, there is a worry that the story line becomes a little predictable and less exciting. However, there’s nothing to fear here! Being a huge Desperate Housewives fan, I can honestly say my loyalty has not yet wavered. This season is full of scandalous events, passion, anticipation and laughter.
