Could it be?
Marcia Cross is facing the axe from Desperate Housewives to give the critically battered television show a much-needed boost. Insiders also say that bosses want to kill off one of the five characters — and control freak Bree van de Kemp has been singled out as the most likely to be moving out of Wisteria Lane forever.
That would leave Nicollette Sheridan, Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria and Felicity Huffman to entertain viewers of ABC's Desperate Housewives.
Rumor has it that writers have been locked in secret talks about the shocking plan. Sources say Cross is the favorite to bow out in an episode during May sweeps, when top ratings will be crucial to guarantee the show's future.
"Ever since the show premiered, there's been talk that one of the key characters would be killed off," said a source close to the series. "And ABC and show execs want a blockbuster plotline to woo bigger audiences and regain critical acclaim for the prime time hit. TV dramas like Dallas and Lost drew huge numbers when they hyped killing off a key cast member. As a result, after a recent meeting between writers and show execs, Marcia is being pegged as the girl most likely to go in May."
--This would be a bad idea. Kill off Teri Hatcher! (Sorry, but she's the most boring one of the bunch!).

I will admit that I don't really watch this show anymore but I still have an opinion. I think Bree is great. What is Nicollette's purpose anyway? Take her. Whithout Bree the whole stepford wife feel goes out the door.

Bree is too interesting to lose. I vote for getting rid of Gabrielle. Her storyline is one endless loop of shopping and fighting.

I'm going to agree with Marcia. Eva Longoria's character is pretty one-dimensional. Former model who's self-absorbed and shops. BFD. Bree and Felicity Huffman's character are the two most fun.

Yes! I'm so proud of Bree! That's what HE gets! Oh, and when she whipped-out the shotgun to blow the speaker off George's van...classic! I LOVE Bree! Stepford Wife or not, she's got cojones.

I've barely watched any episodes, but I'd almost be willing to bet money that killing off Bree will make that show jump one *huge* shark...

Maybe the rumoir of killing Bree will be good enough? I *heart* Bree...she gets the snappiest lines. Teri Hatcher, annoying. Gabby the same. I only watched the very first episode this season and gave up...
