  3. Hi, could you please tell me where I could get/buy a necklace like the gold snake type one that Gabrielle/Eva Longoria is wearing in episode 17 of series 5. It is wrapped around her neck but does not fasten, it looks like it is just sitting on her neck. She is wearing a black/white & green dress with the necklace.

  4. "desperate housewives" is simply put AWESOME, such that when i was throungh with the last episode i felt like i had lost a friend.eva longoria(gabrielle solis),teri hatcher(susan mayer),marcia cross(bree vande kamp),felicity huffman(lynette scavo)and nichollette sheridan(edie britt) and in that order, were all too graciously fantastic to say the least. what about james denton(mike delfino),ricardo chavira(carlos solis),andrea bowen(julie mayer) and of course brender strong(mary alice young) amonngst several others? all well talented and richly proficient. desperate housewives is indeed a benchmark of serious, intriguing, fine, and scintilating comedy which had me genuinely hooked.

  7. I feel so sorry for Edie!! If she dies that means know one will know about Dave, leaving him to continue his plan to hurt Mike. Poor woman though, being strangled,then having a car accident and then getting electricuted all in the space of 2 minutes!! I think the storyline with orson stealing is a bit far fetched. They must have been really struggling for new lines. But apart from that, I thought it was hilarious when the old woman whacked him one with the baseball bat when he got caught in the act LOL. Go Lynette for finally getting rid of Lucy, how I hated her so much, I think everyone was fed up of her animal figures by the time she left. Gabi is my fave housewife of them all, with her quriky yet loving nature. Hopefully we will here more from her in the next series.

  8. Oh...my...god this is intense! i thought there would be some stuff with susan and the gay art teacher, but im glad there wasnt because there was SO MUCH going on!! although susan's ex-husband bored me a bit i know he'll be a huge part of the show soon. as for dave...well...he's after mike, obviously, and now after edie because she knows the real reason why he married her. is she dead though?? the ending was so scary. and theres some gay going on with dave and the priest. that's for sure. the whole thing is so intense, and i think something will happen with carlos and that woman, i already forgot her name! orson and bree..wow :O orson's turning into a control freak. i mean i dont like what they've done to him, making him into this new control freak with mental issues, but it's interesting. he used to be so different. i think maybe he changed because he has been living with bree, the Even More Control Freak. for the first time i felt i was feeling sorry for bree. and finally - dave williams and george williams! there is a definate link between dave and the crazy pharmacist. the writers have done this on purpose - something will pop up soon enough and maybe something will happen between bree and dave (i dont just mean a relationship thing; anything) anyway, very interesting episode! loved it! would like to see more of susan though.
