We felt from a creative standpoint that this was the right time. I feel so good about it. This is a stance that Cherry had maintained throughout his tenure as showrunner and executive producer of Desperate Housewives. Although it did slip gradually slip in the ratings, averaging around 10 million viewers by the time it ended in , the series maintained an international following and was a solid revenue earner overall. By all accounts, the decision not to move forward with season 9 was largely a creative call.
According to ScreenRant , some of these untimely passings include the death of Mary Alice Young, who ended her own life unexpectedly; the death of Rex Van de Kamp, who was killed as a result of his medications being swapped by pharmacist George Williams who was in love with Bree ; the death of Karl Mayer, due to a plane crashing into a house he happened to be inside of at the time; and the death of Edie Brit, who was electrocuted in a truly shocking way.
Arguably the most emotional death on Desperate Housewives is perhaps the murder of Mike Delfino. His character arc included a mysterious past, a son he didn't know existed, jail time, a coma, and so many more unfortunate incidents. His time on Wisteria Lane was ultimately cut short when he was shot to death outside his home, depriving him and Susan of a long, happy life together.

Tensions were high at the time, to the point that writers were outside of a Desperate Housewives set in Los Angeles protesting. ABC also reported that Eva Longoria, who played the glamorous Gaby Solis on the show, supported the picketers, and even brought out some pizza for them to snack on while protesting.
Fans who've watched the series from the very beginning might remember the very first of many car accidents on this show. This particular wreck was caused by Andrew, Bree's then-teenage son. According to The Spinoff , an intoxicated Andrew hit Juanita, a. The accident can be viewed on YouTube , if you need to refresh your memory, or if you're just catching up.
This scene is mirrored in Season 7, when Bree accidentally hits Gaby and Carlos' daughter Juanita with her car. This results in young Juanita being taking to the hospital, which sets the scene for a surprising storyline with hidden details. Remember the iconic opening scene in the pilot episode of Desperate Housewives?
It follows Mary Alice Young's supposedly uneventful day, during which she tends to the garden, cooks, cleans, does laundry, and works on household projects.
But it ends quite shockingly with her raising a gun to her temple and pulling the trigger, thus ending her life. Fast forward to Season 7, when viewers saw another disturbing instance , a hidden detail that mirrors the shocking Season 1 passing of Mary Alice. It starts when Beth Young, Paul's new wife, is kicked out of her home after Paul discovers she's the daughter of Felicia Tillman. Upon finding out her kidney is a match for Susan's transplant, she heads to the hospital to sign the necessary paperwork.

Beth reaches inside her bag to pull out a pistol, and places it against her temple prior to taking her own life — the same way Paul's first wife, Mary Alice, did.
