That would be good. There must be so many dead characters!

Mary Alice Young
Martha Huber
Matthew Applewhite
Rex Van de Kamp
George Williams
Alma Hodge
Nora (Kayla's crazy mom)
Carolyn Bigsby (did she die?)
Victor Lang
Wayne Davis (Katherine's psycho ex)
Edie Britt
Dave Williams
Ida Greenberg
Beth Young
Felicia Tillman
Karl Meyer

Of course there are lots more, but these are some of the established, regular chacters who have died.

I wish the producers of the show would see this! :lol:

Carolyn Bigsby died but Dave Williams didn't! And Felicia's death is unknown.

I think the show needs a major twist for one of the main characters. we all know that Marcia Cross was the heart of Melrose Place back at the show's peak in 1993-94. They shud make Marcia/Bree as bitchy in DH as she was in Melrose Place.

One main character needs a mystery storyline.

I still love the show and i will watch it until it ends. But they really need to make things more interesting and over-the-top.

I really miss Bree's fights with Andrew.. now that was addictive...

Dave Williams was sent to a mental hospital wasn't he? I'd forgotten all about him!

I miss Katherine.

I think the series finale will end with cliffhangers to let the viewer think of their own conclusions.

Anyone else find it weird that Katherine just left in S6, no goodbye scenes and the other housewives never mentioned her leaving for the rest of the season

That's not weird, just negligent on the part of the screenwriters!

It was dumb and so unrealistic

It was to do with her suddenly becoming a lesbian and thinking no-one would accept her! When there was a gay couple living a few doors down and one of the housewives (it could be said the most conservative housewife) had a gay son. Totally unrealistic, the producers should have done more with Katherine!

I think Kat and her gf moved to Paris. How random. :lol:

I love how on TV characters just up and leave to foreign countries within a click of a finger lol

I hope S8 will get the traditional awesome summer promo. That's one of the things I love about DH, they always invested in this promo, except for S6 when they has cost cutting and just had a lazy animation with She Wolf.

It was good but still not in the league of all other.

by **Charmbracelet** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:44 am

I love the one that uses "Mile In These Shoes" (I think it was for S4 or 5?)

by **ginnyfan** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:45 am

Yes, it's for S4. That's my favorite too along with S2 Juicy promo.
Last years was good too. Not so keen on Fever S5 one.

by **biscuits** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 8:35 am

If it is the last season, there should be lots of promo like there was for the first season. Magazine shoots, TV interviews, TV documentaries, award show appearances, etc. I think that could help raise viewing figures.

by **Charmbracelet** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 9:48 am

I would love for them to get a Vanity Fair cover again!

The one for S4 is EPIC!

Season 8 will be the last.

It's had a great run but lost its way a bit in the last 1 or 2 seasons. I hope they manage to go out with a bang!!

by **ginnyfan** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 10:01 pm

I'm really devastated, need some time to process this news...

I will miss them so much.

by **biscuits** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 10:04 pm

Probably for the best. Now that they know it is the last season, I hope they come up with some excellent stories and tie up any loose ends. Cannot wait for the season finale.
