Now it is written by the Hand of Fate: Death will come to claim a member of the “Desperate Housewives” family! WARNING: If you can’t bear knowing in advance who the victim will be, skip to the next item NOW, or…well, don’t say I didn’t warn you: FELICITY HUFFMAN’s character, Lynette, will lose one of her five children to the Grim Reaper.
Producers had hinted a major character would be killed off in a tragic twist, and backstagers had whispered it might even be one of the five leading ladies.
Said a show source: “EVA LONGORIA made noises early in the season about leaving and moving to San Antonio to be with her NBA husband, TONY PARKER, and NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN’s eternally disgruntled – but they’re both coming back next season. So the producers, desperate for drama, turned to Lynette’s family. The death of her child will really amp up the tragedy and emotion her character will suffer in the season finale.”
