The first part of the promo makes me laugh everytime i watch

[Scarlett]

Lovely, thank-you for starting the thread and the promo.

Who's the gent. on the receiving end of one of Bree's baskets?

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

just some random guy she picked up at a bar i'm thinking
i'm not sure i like the way Bree's storyline is going....but it still makes me laugh

[Scarlett]

I'm sure that white knight will come along to rescue her...or here's a novel idea: Bree can rescue herself.

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

I like that idea!
I want her to stop drinking again! And i have faith that she can.

[Scarlett]

Bree has been on and off the wagon so many times. They say that an alcoholic is always in recovery, there is never a cure for the disease.

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

This is very true. There is no cure. My dad was an alcoholic. Its all just one day at a time

[Scarlett]

It is so sad how no one is supporting Bree or noticing her decent into the bottle....these girls are supposed to be her gal pals and they are still too concerned about how she took control of the dead body situation (like they were going to step in and do anything ).

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

Oh I know!
It upsets me that they are all mad at her over taking control.....They were not doing a darn thing and she was just doing what she thought was right in order to protect them.
I think if they can just get past the "being mad" thing....They will realize that she is drinking again.
I think they are all just very self involved lately

[Scarlett]

Lately? Gaby is self-involved 24/7 IMO. She doesn't even care about her own daughters, why would she care about a neighbor and 'friend'? And Lynette has definitely been more focused on herself, Tom, and Jane lately....ignoring poor Bree. You know Lynette was the one who started Bree on the path to sobriety by laying out all of her bottles in S2 - such a powerful scene. There were no words, just actions.

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

I remember!
I loved that scene. I dont think it really hit Bree until she saw all of the bottles at once.
And i know you are right about Gaby.....But Lynette and Susan were never that self involved.

[Scarlett]

Susan can be very sweet and intuitive to other people (even with Gaby's step-dad's family). Lynette loves her family and is very loyal to them, often forsaking others (neighbors/friends for them). Gaby - she is just evil.

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

I love your thoughts on Gaby

[Scarlett]

It is high time someone said exactly what she was.

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

Can you believe that the new episode is already on tomorrow?!

[Scarlett]

I know

We'll have a whole page of pre-discussion.

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

Which is never a bad thing.
I cant wait to see what happens tomorrow

[Scarlett]

Me too. I want to actually see Orson again.

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

I was sad that he and Bree Split up.
I liked them together. It will be great to see him again

[Scarlett]

Maybe they can 'undo' some of the damage done by his character in his final year on the show (klepto, blackmailing Bree, running of with physical therapist, etc.)
