Here are some Desperate Housewives spoilers from TV Guide by Mickey O'Connor

•Executive producer Bob Daily made it clear that the five-year jump is permanent: "We might have a few flashbacks here and there, but the show is definitively five years in the future now."

• Eva Longoria Parker is no longer the glamourous woman we're familiar with, she now has two kids to run around after

• Susan is more closed off to love and no longer needy about it. Series creator Cherry says that Hatcher's instincts about Susan five years later are good. "Susan's first scene in the season premiere is based on something Teri pitched to the writers," he reports.

• Neal McDonough (Edie's husband) is moving to Wisteria Lane and is looking for revenge.

• "Edie is like a bad boomerang; she just keeps coming back, there's a lot more to her than we've seen. She's a lot more conscientious about things [this season], without losing her comedic edge.

•Cherry repeated his desire for Desperate Housewives to be a seven-season show. "Or," he teased, "that could be a ruthless ploy on my part to get obscene amounts of money for Season 8."

•We'll find out why Mike Delfino is no longer Susan's husband.

I'll tune in and check it out for sure, because it's been one of my favourites in the past. But I don't understand the point in jumping forward 5 years..... ? (maybe they thought the characters were looking older IRL and they decided to give them a more appropriate age on the show ??? ---- just kidding. LOL).

Don't know if I am going to like it as much as I have in the past. I was VERY disappointed in the way it ended this season. I guess it remains to be seen but sounds like they are really changing the characters and I liked them the way they were. It remains to be seen but this season might be DESPARATE to keep viewers!!
