Thanks for the new information! I can't wait for the new episodes to begin.

As far as your signature goes, I know that, for a while, it was bigger than the allowed size. It might have been removed if it didn't meet the size requirements.

The new eps look great ... I love the pics I found showing what seems like Gaby and Edie coming home from shopping together ... LOL ... I guess we never knew they were shopping buddies ...

Oh ok ... thanks ... I had never really done one of those banner siggies before ... So I hadn't noticed there was a size limit ... I fixed it though ... Thanks for the help MM1.

um....pardon my stupidity, but if you fixed it, shouldn't it be there now?

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

LOL ... it's kinda weird that you were keeping track of my siggy banner like I was LOL ...

I fixed it after I had placed my initial post ... so I edited it in saying that I had fixed it ...

And since the post was already posted ... it wouldn't add the sig after I turned it back on ...

So for new posts it will work ... (like this one) ...

[Jasmine1022]

cool

dont worry, i'm really not stalkerish.

i'm currently part of 'stalker's anonymus', but you aren't allowed to know that.

SEASON FOUR SPOILERS

The answers to the four questions listed above are: no; Julie; yes; and yes.

In the third season, Gabrielle slept with Carlos, John, one night stand Jason, Bill Pearce, and Victor Lang; she pretended to sleep with Phil Lopez; she wanted to sleep with Zach’s lawyer; and thought she slept with Zach. Next season, Marc Cherry has promised to double the number of Gabrielle’s romantic interests compared to this season.

Mrs. McCluskey convinces Lynette to turn the pizzeria into a wine shop.

Patty Duke has already been signed to a 6 episode guest arc as Edie’s mom, April Fulsdeigh.

Sounds like an exciting rest of the season huh? Just re-read the name of Edie's mom ... and you will get it.

[numba1lostboy]

HOMIGOSH.

I almost wish I hadn't read half of that. It contained basically everything.

[Anthony]

I am trying to resist the temptation to read the spoilers because I want to be surprised for the rest of the season. Must.... be..... strong.....

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

WOW! What did Mrs. McC do ? LOL

Juicy Juicy Juicy!

Loved it!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Quick "HUH?" Moment ...

It said in the In Memoriam ... that Monique Polier died in 2001 ... Is that an error?

I guess in the whole timeline of things ... I thought the Monique murder happened maybe in 2004/2005 ... around the time that Mike moved to Fairview ...

But maybe it does make sense ... cuz when Mike went to Orson for his appointment ... he wasn't sure when he had met him ... and if he had recently met him at Monique's ... he would have instantly remembered him ...

Hmmmm ...

[lord-of-sith]

Having just returned from my vacation to New York, forgive me for being a little confused. What is actually an April Fool's joke here? All of it? Or just the last season 4 stuff?

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

No one seemed to have got it except for you LOL

So congrats lord-of-sith ...

I would say 98% of the rest of the season preview and season 4 preview is fake ... it was an April Fool's Day joke ..

But I don't think anyone was brave enough to read it all and get to the point where it said Patty Duke was cast as Edie's mom ... April Fulsdeigh ... LOL

[lord-of-sith]

I was wondering! Everyone else was taking it as serious spoilers and what not. And boy was I glad when I read that it was a joke, as that story seemed waaaaaaaay too rediculous to actually be true. But nice job Rowlf!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Woohoo!

I know! Mrs. McC going on a murder spree with wine! Gaby adopting Danielle's baby ... and Richard Gere sleeping with Andrew! LMAO Oh ... and Edie having a lesbian cousin called Ellie.

LMAO ... no one caught it but you lord-of-sith ... congrats!

[Disney-Fan]

LOL, apparently I manage to avoid all sorts of spoilers, fake or not. The moment I saw Season 4 Spoilers I quickly backed off.

[Anthony]

I would say 98% of the rest of the season preview and season 4 preview is fake ... it was an April Fool's Day joke ..

Thank goodness! I was trying so hard not to read the spoilers and now I don't have to worry! Whew!

I think now I'll read it to see what you came up with Rowlf.

EDIT: I just finished reading your spoilers Rowlf! Wow - pretty impressive. You should be one of DH's writers! I'd watch your version anyday!
