Desperate Housewives
Spoilers

Julie Benz made quite the impression on Desperate Housewives last night, debuting as a stripper named Robin.

The former Dexter star will apparently make an even bigger impression on a fellow character in a few weeks, however.

As first reported by TV Guide Magazine, viewers should expect Katherine and Robin to get especially close later this month.

“Everyone assumed I was going to come in and break up someone’s marriage, but there’s a whole different twist,” Benz said in an interview, and proves in the upcoming scene below:

The actress goes on to explain the smooch above:

“This kiss comes out of a funny moment where we’re trying to ditch some guys,” he said, while Delany adds:

“I asked, ‘Am I becoming a man?’ And [creator] Marc Cherry said, ‘Close' For a woman in her fifties to make this announcement to her community is huge. I hope it sticks.”

So do many male viewers, but we can't help but ask:

Is this a logical storyline for the character? Or a publicity stunt for the show?

Rest easy, Dexter fans: Rita is alive, well... and looking sort of skanky!

Indeed, Julie Benz - best known for playing Dexter's wife on that Showtime hit, until she fell victim to The Trinity Killer on the season four finale - resurfaces on primetime TV at the end of this month.

She guest stars for multiple episodes on Desperate Housewives as Debbie, an intelligent stripper that befriends Susan. Benz debuts on January 31 and we've got your first look at the actress in her new role below:

On this Sunday's new episode of Desperate Housewives, Gabrielle and Carlos try to get Juanita into a new school. There's just one problem:

She doesn't make a great impression when she asks, in shock, in front of the dean: I'm Mexican?!?

It's great stuff. Check out a clip of the scene below:

Also featured on the episode ""You Gotta Get a Gimmick:

• Susan turns up the heat for Mike;
• Lynette discovers Tom's true intentions;

When Desperate Housewives returns on January 3, the residents of Wisteria Lane are dealing with the fallout from this month's plane crash.

Who is dead? Who is paralyzed? We have those answers right here and now.

But what becomes of those left standing after the accident? They peer into the future, imagining what their lives could have been if they had made different choices. For example:

• Bree contemplates a world without Orson;
• Lynette considers a future with her unborn twins.
• Carlos reflects on an older Gabrielle;
• Angie worries about the consequences if her family secrets are revealed.

All these scenarios will actually play out on the episode "If..." Below, we've got a look at an imagined, elderly Gabrielle; as well as Angie's possible, jail-bound future:

After weeks of hype, the 2009 finale of Desperate Housewives left viewers with more questions than answers.

Yes, a plane crashed into Wisteria Lane, leaving a couple characters dead. But while we take a moment to mourn Nurse Mona, we're left to wonder about the identity of the other deceased individual.

Is it Orson or Karl? While the bloody hand sticking out of Santa's Workshop looks ladylike, no fan in his his/her right mind thinks Bree is actually a goner.

So, who will be resting in peace when the series returns in January? We have the answer below, as well as a look at various future fantasies, courtesy of a unique episode.

Be warned: major Desperate Housewives spoilers ahead...

This Sunday, Desperate Housewives airs its most buzzed-about episode in months.

That's what happens when a plane crashes into the neighborhood and two characters die. Who do you think it will be?

As you ponder the possibilities, check out the following clip from "Boom Crunch." In it, Susan tries to get into the holiday spirit... until an ambulance arrives.

None of the central cast members will perish in Sunday's accident, but creator Marc Cherry has promised that a major character will, indeed, be killed. He also says the show will flash forward when it returns in January.

For now, click on the pics below for a closer look at scenes from "Boom Crunch" and then follow the jump to view a clip of a hospitalized Danny Bolen:

Earlier this week, The National Enquirer reported that Drea de Matteo was leaving Desperate Housewives.

This is untrue, though many viewers might not mind if it were, considering the growing frustration over the actress' character and her slow-moving storyline.

But Beau Mirchoff (Danny Bolen, pictured) has a message for fans: be patient!

He told Fancast.com that mysteries surrounding the Bolens will "become more clear in the next few episodes." The family might not be hiding out on Wisteria Lane for evil reasons.

Before the major reveal takes place, Angie will attempt to relocate her brood, Mirchoff said, adding: “An event happens that puts our family in an awkward position."

Might that event be the much-hyped December 6 plane crash? Readers continue to chime in about who will die following that tragic accident.

At this point, it's no major spoiler to reveal that a plane crashes on to Wisteria Lane on December 6.

But executive producer Marc Cherry has spilled more on this mid-season cliffhanger to TV Guide Magazine, saying the incident will claim the lives of three characters: one minor, one central and one major who’s been on since season one.

Clearly, we're most interested in the identity of the significant character. Might it be the man pictured above?

“The fans are going to be sad over this one, but it was a good time to end this character’s story line.," Cherry said, who praised the fired actor for taking the news “with a lot of class."

“This person stood up at our table read and told everyone what a joy it was to be a part of the show."

That's great and all... but WHO IS IT? Chime in with your comments/thoughts/guesses now.

On Sunday's episode of Desperate Housewives...

• Susan makes a shocking discovery;
• Gabrielle tries (illegally) to get Juanita in to Catholic school;
• Lynette's baby bump becomes impossible to hide;
• Bree tries to keep her infidelity a secret.

As usual, we'll update our section of Desperate Housewives quotes soon after the episode ends.

For now, get a sneak peek at one of the storylines listed above. This is classic Gabrielle...

After the jump, watch a clip of Susan doing battle with Katherine in court.

We know two things about the upcoming place crash on Desperate Housewives:

1. It will take place on December 6;
2. Dan Castellaneta will pilot the wayward jet.

Now, thanks to a new report courtesy of E! News, more details have emerged regarding this mid-season cliffhanger.

For starters, the the plane will crash into the home of one of the four ladies seen below:

The odds seem to be in Bree's (unfortunate) favor, as sources also say Bree and Orson will be trapped inside their house.

Because other insiders say a "fan favorite" will die in the wreck, our money is on Orson. But we won't know the answer until early 2010, when the series returns from its winter hiatus.
