Episode 6.01: What Wedding, What Way (Season premiere)
Airdate: September 27, 2009

• 07/24 - [Both Teri Hatcher and Dana Delany were spotted on the set wearing wedding dresses.] Could there be a double wedding in the works on Desperate Housewives, wherein Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer marries one guy and Dana Delany as Katherine Mayfair marries another? Or are the producers just playing with us? Source: Kristin on E!Online
• 07/12 - A young woman (Julie or Carlos' niece maybe?) is at the Vitale's house to help Dominic with his homework. Once they are done, Dominic asks the young lady to the movies but the latter refuses as she feels uncomfortable with the situation. Dominic tries to convince her by saying they are friends. She's saved by the bell when Nick orders Dominic to take the trash out. While Dominic is out, the young woman tells Nick that she just came out of a relationship that didn't end well which is why she didn't want to go to the movies with Dominic. Nick seems quite understanding and even tells the young woman that she is way out of his son's league. From the looks of it, it seems that the Vitale family moved around a lot and a some bad luck too. Nick firmly believes that their luck will change because he gets a good vibe from Wisteria Lane and thinks that people don't butt into each other's lives... if he only knew! Lynette goes to the obstetrician's office. While waiting, she shares parenting/couple tips and tricks with a young pregnant woman. Source: SpoilerFix.com
• 07/10 - Sources tell me September's Desperate Housewives premiere is set to feature a Susan Mayer wedding... or the preparations for one at least (who knows if she'll actually go through with the "I do"s). Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that Susan wasn't the lady Mike married in the season finale. As every Desperate fan knows, the show is no stranger to flashbacks, divorces or second chances.

• 07/10 - Peggy: Mid 20s, a fresh-faced very pregnant woman in her 20's, she idealistic and blissful about having her first baby... until she meets a woman who tells her all the headaches of being a parent. John: Peggy's helpful husband in his mid 20's. Sales Lady: In her 40's, this woman in a Bed Bath and Beyond-type store helps a couple with sheets. Delivery Man: This UPS-type man in his 30's - 40's has a delivery for a neighbor. Nick Vitale: A handsome New York-Italian man in his 40's, Nick is a landscape designer. His energy is contained and internal. Series regular (with a minimum of 15 episodes). Dominic Vitale: Nick's sexy, intense New York-Italian 19 year old son. He's a good kid at heart, but is tightly wound. Series regular. Source: SpoilerTV
• 07/10 - Emmy-winning Sopranos heroine Drea de Matteo is joining the cast as Wisteria Lane's newest vixenish housewife, sources confirm to me exclusively. De Matteo, who will be a series regular, will play the matriarch of a new Italian family. Source: The Ausiello Files
• 07/10 - Based on the arrival script for [Drea] de Matteo's character, she's for certain a fish out of water, having traded the noise and grime of New York City for a serene picket-fenced life on Wisteria Lane. De Matteo's on-screen family has yet to be cast, but it appears that the son will attempt to strike a spark with one of the neighborhood girls. (Perhaps Gaby's freshly introduced bad-girl niece?) The husband, meanwhile, seems likeable enough - if a bit, um, flirty. Source: TV Guide Online
• 07/10 - Drea de Matteo's new housewife, Angie, who is moving into Desperate Housewives next season, now has a husband and son. Playing hubby Nick will be Jeffrey Nordling, who most recently was seen dying on 24 as FBI agent Larry Moss. Stepping in as son Dominic, will be 20-year-old Beau Mirchoff, who played Ben on the short-lived cable series, Heartland. Source: TV Guide Magazine

Desperate Housewives Episode Recap: "Nice Is Different Than Good"
Sep 27, 2009 10:00 PM ET by Mickey O'Connor

Watch EpisodeOn the Season 6 premiere of Desperate Housewives, Lynette tries to come to terms with her unplanned pregnancy, Bree and Karl weigh their options, Susan and Katherine square off over Mike and Gaby squabbles with her unruly niece. Plus, Angie Bolen (Drea de Matteo) has moved to Wisteria Lane with her creepy family under mysterious circumstances. What were they running from? And how far will they have to go to fit in?

LYNETTE
Well, this is an awful development. It turns out that underneath all Lynette's snark about not wanting to be pregnant again is some real antipathy. After getting a sonogram, she tells Tom that with all their other children, she loved them from the moment she knew was she pregnant. But... she doesn't feel that way about these twins. It's an awful feeling, for sure, and not one that I'm sure we want to see on television. But I trust Felicity Huffmann to navigate this tricky emotional territory and pull off this storyline without coming off seeming like a total monster.

BREE
Bree and Orson are clearly over, but she's still hesitant about embarking on an affair with Karl — and wouldn't you be? It's a credit to the writers that they're able to bury Bree's true emotions beneath layers and layers of Egyptian cotton sheets, er, repression. Instead of her sharing her feelings with Karl, she focuses on the quality of the décor — or lack thereof — in their chosen no-tell motel. But Karl is a lawyer, so he knows when he's getting snowed. By episode's end, they finally have their tryst, so consider this deception fully underway.

SUSAN vs. KATHERINE
So Mike married Susan. I can't say I'm surprised, but I was definitely thrown for a loop — and pleased — by Katherine's reaction to losing Mike. It's not so much that she's sad about losing Mike (though in small ways she showed us that she surely is), but that she's pissed about losing at all. What could have played out as a typical weepy, hos-before-bros make-up session has been elevated to something much richer.

Katherine calls Susan on her dunderheaded avoidance of the issues by crashing her wedding and demanding a public apology. While the situation is momentarily defused by some careful play-acting, it's clear that Katherine is by no means ready to forgive and forget. This sea change in the character will help Katherine become the alpha bitch we always wanted her to be, and I can't wait. Last season was a plotline dustbowl for Dana Delany, so it's time.

GABRIELLE
While I first bristled at the idea of Gaby raising kids, let alone a teenager, now I get it. They've written Ana so that she's like a mini-Gabrielle, with all the vanity and self-centeredness and conniving of the regular-sized version. As Gaby peers into this mirror, she doesn't like what she sees, and as an adult, she knows how to combat it in a way that her deficient parents were never able to. So she signs the guardianship papers, which is as close to caring as Gabrielle is able to muster at this point.

ANGIE
Welcome, Drea de Matteo! (Read my Q&A with her about her new gig.) I was a little nervous about Angie's first scenes with the ladies; to me, the chemistry seemed a little off. Once de Matteo is more fully integrated with the cast, though, she's going to do just fine on Wisteria Lane, if only because Angie's the polar opposite of these ladies, and they desperately need a truth-teller in their midst.

If they learned anything from giving away Dave's master plan too soon last season, the Bolens' secret will probably stay hidden for a while, and I think that's a good thing. (Nevertheless, please feel free to leave your best guess in the comments section below.) For now, Nick and Danny Bolen's aggressive chats with Julie and the shocking reveal of what appear to be serious burn scars on Angie's back have me intrigued.

DANNY and JULIE
When I heard that Andrea Bowen would be returning to the show for the season premiere, I knew it probably had something to do with the arrival of Danny Bolen. Now, I'm not a betting man, but my gut tells me that Julie is not dead, particularly because she didn't see her attacker. The whole Danny-Julie tutoring plotline seemed rushed, and there's no way that we aren't going to get more of this juicy pair. That said, the season premiere to the contrary, Julie has changed fundamentally since the last time we saw her, and I think once it's revealed how, you'll look at Sunday's episode in a whole new light.

What did you think? Are you excited to see how this season's plotlines unfold? Is Drea de Matteo a good addition to the cast? Do you miss Edie?
