WHOA. Till April?? That's a real loong time. A whole month!
At least Grey's and Heroes won't be taking that huge a break.

Reminder: new Grey's on March 15th.

TV.com says there will be a new episode on Sunday...

Read your newspaper........."Heroes" goes on a five week hiatus after next week's episode. Look out!!

"Dancing With the Stars" begins March 19 while "Heroes" is gone, and let's hope that the loyal watchers will come back to "Heroes" when it returns in April.

Spoke too soon. Damn. Me and my big mouth.

To give everyone the exact date ...

DH comes back on April 8th.

Great episode! And a nice change of pace after the raging last episode.

I really liked watching Nicolette Sheridan last night. After a season of pretty much jack squat to do, they finally gave her something!

I wonder if that was actually Marica Cross in the opening? Anyone know?

I still dislike Ian, but I look forward to seeing Lynn Redgrave as his mother.

Tom and Lynette were the top of the night! I liked their story a lot!

And I liked having Rex as a narrator for this episode. Sure Brenda Strong is the staple of the show and always will be, but Rex brought back some continuity from the first season, and I liked his perspective on what was going on.

No DH for a whole month?!?!?!? Gah! I will be pretty antsy when it does return.

Did anyone ever figure out what Edie Britt's son's name is......she called him Trevor, but when Carlos opened the door and the little boy stepped around the corner he called him Travis...........now there are two more times that the boy's name is used, Carlos again calls him Travis, and Edie calls him Trevor......is this a goof that no one has caught because it happens so quietly??

I could be wrong, but I kept hearing them say Travers. It was actually starting to annoy me because I wanted to know who in their right mind would name their child Travers!

The name is Travers, and it's just the way that both Edie and Carlos were pronouncing it. The spelling is listed in the cast listing for the episode at TV.com.

I'm really sad about Susan; she used ot be my favourite, now I just find her so annoying. So saddening for me! My favourite at the moment is Lynette. Especially the scene with her in the supermarket in 'Bang'. I really liked her before, now I love her!

It's the same stand-in that was used in Feb 18th's episode "The Little Things You Do Together". Marcia Cross is on maternity leave. But nice camera angles used for both episodes!

I'm pretty sure we're getting a new episode on Sunday. TV.com says we do, as do my local cable listings.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Your local cable listings may say that ...

but here is what ABC.com says ...

Sunday, March 11 at 9/8c
"Sweetheart, I Have to Confess"
Susan professes her love for Ian while Gaby and Carlos try to rekindle their love, and Bree is confronted with Orson's past.

That is a re-run ...

Everything has been sped up and mixed and mashed due to Marcia's early bow out due to her pregnancy ...

I realize that, and I know that she's not going to be on the show until next season. But I didn't think we'd be going on ANOTHER hiatus. Ugh, how inconvenient!

Yes, which really sucks, because I get the feeling that the revelation about what really happened between Orson, Alma, Mother Hodge, and Monique, was not supposed to actually happen until the end of the season. However, I can't, for the life of me, figure out HOW they expected to be able to have Marcia Cross until the end, when they had to know she would be having the babies, while the show was still filming. Oh, well. It's been a great season. I'm sure they must have something up their sleeves to keep things going, because this season has been terrific!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

You got that right MM1 ...

The whole Orson/Monique/Alma mystery was supposed to take up the whole season ... and it was rushed to completion because of the unexpected twins ...

I read that the woman who played Carlos' date this past Sunday ... on her website ... she listed her airdate on DH as April 1st ...

So they definitely advanced that plot ...

I also read at another forum a juicy detail about something that will be happening soon ... perhaps the start of the new "mystery" ... but I don't want to post it yet ... cuz I just want to make sure that I can confirm it at another site ... but it sounds like the start of a great mystery ...

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Minor spoiler spilled by Mrs. Huffman at the Independent Spirit Awards ...

Huffman revealed a shocker coming up on Desperate Housewives. Her character, Lynette, will be cheating on husband Tom with a man (played by Jason Gedrick) who comes to offer advice on the couple's pizza joint. "I'm shooting my first scenes with this good-looking guy on Wednesday," she said. "Lynette definitely goes wandering. We have a little affair of the heart.

Do you think that it'll just be a short, quickie mystery just to finish up the season with, or do you think it will continue on into next season?

I love you avatar, by the way!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Thanks ... Gotta love EDIE ... and I love that she finally has a true storyline ...

I think it will be the pre-face of the new mystery that will be the main focus of next year ...

I will post what I found out about episode 19 ...

If you want to read it ... highlight it ...

Gabrielle's blackmailed with compromising photos of her and Victor, but the pictures wind up in the newspaper despite her attack on the blackmailer. Victor's campaign manager is upset that she could be ruining Victor's family values image. Victor’s not happy with how his campaign manager treats Gabrielle. At one of Victor’s press conferences, Gabrielle announces their engagement!

A real estate agent is showing his clients a house when he comes across Edie and Carlos having sex.

Someone wakes up in the hospital to find two cops at her bedside.

The last sentence is referring to the new mystery ... at least thats what I understand it to mean ... and that just sounds sooo good ... I wonder who it will be ???
