Big news for the upcoming season of Desperate Housewives.  It has already been leaked by Marc Cherry that a leading character will die next year.  The show’s creator tells TV Guide that the death will be connected to a supermarket hostage situation.  Several major characters will be inside that store including Lynette (Felicity Huffman).  Expect to see that storyline come November sweeps.  I wonder if this is Cherry’s way of cleaning house??

In addition to the obvious ratings ploy, it has also been announced that a new character will be visiting Wisteria Lane.  Josh Henderson, recently part of FX’s Over There will become a regular cast member.  As Edie’s nephew, Austin, Henderson will be brought on to stir things up on the street.  Maybe he can stir up some new storylines for Mike and Susan?
