Exclusive: Kyle MacLachlan to exit 'Desperate Housewives'

Wisteria Lane is about to lose another longtime resident: Kyle MacLachlan is leaving Desperate Housewives after four years of playing Orson Hodge, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Exit rumors have swirled around the woefully underused MacLachlan for the better part of the past two years. Speculation picked up again after Sunday’s season finale, during which Orson — disappointed that Bree would allow herself to be blackmailed by Sam — abruptly moved out.

I’m told MacLachlan will likely return for an episode or two next fall to tie up the Orson/Bree story.

MacLachlan’s decampment brings to three the number of series regulars coming off the Housewives payroll. He joins the dearly departed Drea de Matteo and Dana Delany.

Thoughts? Is this something that should have happened two years ago when Orson started to drift onto the back burner? Will the return of Mark Moses and the recent addition of Vanessa Williams more than fill the void? Sound off below!

Orson wasn't that interesting. Is Brie going through yet anotherhusband!!!


I just want Adrew Back...is all I wove him

never really cared for Orson. I think Andrew is going to jail....or going to get hurt..then we discover him and Zack were switched at birth!!!


ok i'm just wishing now lol

bahahhah do we really need Zack Back? Maybe to hit on Gabrielle hahahha


I prefer we have Dylan come back, she is pretty, which could lead to maybe one or two appearaces on DH by Katherine and her lady friend

i miss Dylan

Dylan is HOT and this is coming from a gay guy

i still dont get the whole story with her mom and dad but oh well..

It's easy, katherine had an abusive husband. She Fled with Dylan, but the night they were going to run away again, a HUGE dresser fell on the real Dylan, who died, Katherine burried her and went to those places where young women get babies and she saw a girl, the new "Dylan" since oddly it looked like her daughter that died. and she doesn't know.......until the day of today she doesn't know that Katherine isn't her real mother.


Wait wait....this totally ruins any possibility of it being Dylan and Julie, since the real Dylan Died.....dammit

then who is Dave's daughter? lol

Dave's daughter was killed in the car accident that Susan and Mike had at the beginning of Season 5, that's when they made the 5 year leap. After she had MJ, Dave's daughter was born the exact same day as MJ. In the same hospital and i remembr them even saying the cross paths but never met. Which is why Dave came back to kill Katherine, then MJ to hurt Mike for killing his daughter, but then he found out Susan was driving so, he decided to Kill MJ instead.


Damn i'm like a Desperate Housewives encyclopedia.
