Desperate Housewives will begin again in about a week or so. With that timeline being so close, the Internet is abuzz with what might during this latest season.

As most of the world knows by now, a character is due to die during November. I can only speculate the timing has much to do with sweeps. While little has been said about which person in particular, that hasn't stopped anyone from trying to come up with any number of ideas. This is especially true when seven others will also perish during the course of events.

Whenever I hear about a plot twist, I take extra care not to reveal it prior to airtime. However, hinting at potential developments is hardly a major problem. For the most part, the script is designed so clues are often dropped so people have an idea of what to expect.

Be that as it may, sometimes I attempt to confirm what I saw on screen with what I have read from any number of sources. When I noted a link from a message board which led to the solving of this mystery, I decided to double-check and have things be clear in my own mind.

Evidently, someone was irate at the thought of having everyone and their Aunt Sally know the conclusion to a major plor twist before the episode aired. The offensive item had been deleted.

Here's what I can tell you without guilt. Laurie Metcalfe (Roseanne) will guest star in the episode in a significant way. One of the actual "housewives" will be in the vicinity along with younger relations of other characters. Out of the latter group, one character will be new this season.

Readers should keep in mind some characters are a large part of the show even though they might not appear on a week-to-week basis. Think about Martha Huber's sister for a minute. Without her help, Paul might have gotten away with murder. Oh wait, he did....
