The fact that Kathryn Joosten (Karen Mcklusky) ended up being the last character to die in the show finale is even more bitter sweet now. She ended up passing from cancer just a few weeks after the episode aired on TV. RIP Kathryn.

Orson was my favorite Bree’s husband before he went coo coo at the end. They fit together perfectly

Orson was such a gentleman ... Before he became a candidate for the psych ward.

I really think that the reason they ended Karen like they did is because Kathryn was sick and everyone knew she didn't have long left in this life so they wanted her final scenes to be special and memorable.

Nice interview. I really miss the show and would like to see it back. Hate that you never saw Brenda Strong as she's such a delight. They're ALL striking. Not a show you'd expect a guy to like, but I loved the humor, and actors/actresses were attractive. Neighbor Karen was a hoot.

I never realized how amazing Brenda's voice was until Nicolette Sheridan did the voice-over for that one episode. I bet she's a a great singer.

when they asked about characters they killed off. Rex was Number 1 and Miss Huber Number 2. so I'm glad they mentioned those two. Rex was so great. He deserved more than one season. Orson got like 5. It's too much. And Miss Huber. She was so evil and conniving. I would have loved to see more of her than her sister
