ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” Sixth Season Available On DVD

ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” Sixth Season Available On DVD. Fans of “Desperate Housewives” will be excited to learn that the show is releasing the complete sixth season yesterday, September 21. Hard to believe that the housewives have been together for six seasons; lots has happened, including the addition of Drea de Matteo, whose character is tough, but has a mysterious past. On the surface, the residents of Wisteria lane appear to be the picture of suburban America. But underneath lay bigger stories – infidelity, deceit, blackmail and even murder. And with not-so-honest husbands, complicated relationships, family drama and meddling neighbors adding to the drama and humor, and the sixth season is no different.

Drea De Matteo Leaving “Desperate Housewives” In May

Drea De Matteo Leaving "Desperate Housewives" In May

Drea De Matteo Leaving “Desperate Housewives” In May. Drea de Matteo won’t be staying for long on Wisteria Lane. The 38-year-old actress, who plays Italian toughie Angie Bolen on the sixth season of the ABC hit series “Desperate Housewives,” will be exiting the show in May. Series creator Marc Cherry insists that de Matteo wasn’t fired from the show, but they are just fulfilling their part of the deal when the former “Sopranos” star agreed to do the show. He told our source, “Part of the deal when we hired Drea was she was only interested in doing one season. She has a baby and is eager to get back to her life in New York.” Cherry refused to divulge how Angie will leave the rest of the housewives in the show, but he teases the arrival of John Barrowman as the man she has been running from will build to an “explosive finale.” Meanwhile, regular cast Dana Delany is also possibly leaving the girls – Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria-Parker, Marcia Cross, and Teri Hatcher – this season. According to our source, she is being lured to star in an ABC pilot “Body of Evidence.”
