Desperate Housewives in its 7th season and
Daily Mail is reporting that two of the original Housewives might not be around for the 9th season. The British tabloid is saying that Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman are planning on leaving the show after next season. “Teri has given in her notice and is making active preparations to move on,” says a TV insider. “She has another production deal in the pipeline and she is in the early stages of developing a sitcom that she wants to start work on immediately after she finishes Desperate Housewives – she wants a new show in time for the mid-January pilot season.” The article did not say what Felicity would do, but maybe her husband William H Macy and her could do something together.
Personally this show has been over for years, so if their departure means the end of it then let it be. I won’t miss wasting an hour of my time every week wishing and hoping the show could recapture what it was during its first season.
UPDATE: Teri Hatcher denied the story on her Facebook.
There are not enough adjectives to describe how stupid, off base, and ridiculously untrue this is. “Newspapers” should be accountable for this kind of irresponsible journalism and reckless fabrication of a story. What disturbs me the most is that one fan would consider for one second that I would “quit” what has been …
I have never said nor inferred otherwise. They made no effort to contact me or my representatives or the network to fact check. I am awaiting a retraction and apology at the least for mucking up everyone’s Sunday with this huge, hurtful lie. I will say it again, I love DH, the cast and crew are like family and I am with it till its cancelled.
Vanessa Williams and the writers have brought a new energy to the show this year and I expect and hope it can continue on for a long time. I meet many people who still find so much joy in watching it and I want everyone to know I’m joyful to be involved to this day and that’s not going to change.
