Desperate Housewives: Difference between revisions

 

Has a [[Desperate Housewives/Characters|Character Sheet]]. Feel free to contribute.

* [[Affably Evil]]: {{spoiler|Mary Alice, our cheerful sing-song narrator who kidnapped a baby, then later killed said baby's mother and dismembered the corpse}}.

** Dave Williams/ {{spoiler|Dash}} is this. Despite what he's trying to do, he does come across as a genuinely nice guy.

* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Carlos seems to go back and forth on this. For the most part he's an easy going nice guy, but sometimes he will suddenly become a intimidating vindictive ass doing needlessly villainous things, such as firing Lynette when she's the sole supporter of a family of six and pregnant with twins solely because he didn't want to give her maternity leave.

 

* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: In season five, Tom and Lynette kept going through the same loop--Tom wants to do something wild, Lynette disapproves, Tom whines about how he never gets a chance to do anything, Lynette tries to put a stop to what he is doing, the two reach a compromise, and resolve to be more understanding of each other's wishes...only to go through the ''exact same situation'' yet ''again'' a few episodes later.

* [[All Psychology Is Freudian]]

* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|Orson's ex-wife, who was believed to be dead}} in season three. And of course, George Williams from the first two seasons.

** Katherine seems to be treading a fine line between this and being a [[Stalker with a Crush]]. As of the ninth episode of the sixth season, she has officially gone over into this.

* [[Acceptable Feminine Roles]]: Underlying the whole show is this.

* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Reserved for plot twist moments. While most of the time they only kill off villains and B-characters no one really cares about, every once in a while they'll surprise you by killing off someone important.
