As filming for the second season of Desperate Housewives gets underway, more teasers of the planned storylines are beginning to emerge.
Speaking at the Television Critics Association tour, series creator Marc Cherry confirmed that Rex Van De Kamp (Steven Culp) is definitely dead: "There was a scene in the finale which made it really, really clear. Because we were long, I cut it. I thought the phone call [from the doctor to Bree] did it. I did not mean to confuse the fans in any way."
Cherry also explained how Rex’s mother, who will be played by Shirley Knight, will have a “battle royale” with Bree (Marcia Cross) over Rex’s funeral.
Other titbits included information on Wisteria Lane’s latest addition, Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodward). "Her character was a concert pianist," he teased. "She's going to be involved in something pretty gothic on the show - pretty dark and spooky."
According to Get Desperate, Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher) will also find out Mike’s true relation to Zach, Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) will have a relationship which annoys Susan – presumably with Susan’s ex-husband Karl Mayer (Richard Burgi) – and Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) will finally convince Carlos (Ricardo Shavira) that she is carrying his baby, not John Rowland’s (Jesse Metcalfe).
Nostradamus actress Joely Fisher will also guest star as a boss of Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) when she starts back at work - but "in a surprising way."
