Women daydream about next season

Here is what the “Desperate Housewives” would like for their characters in Season 2:

• Marcia Cross (Bree): “I want to see Bree come undone. I think all of her effort to hold the reins tight for as long as possible this year will finally come crashing down on her. And I think it will be interesting to see her change.”

Cross hopes Bree’s breakdown will inspire an alteration to her severe, heavily sprayed, flipped-out ‘do: “Her hair is indicative of her spirit, so as things change, her hair will change.”

• Teri Hatcher (Susan): “The most fun things for me to do are intertwining the dramatic and physical comedy, like getting caught outside naked or falling through the floor. I love the chemistry between Edie and Susan and hope that stays significant. There is something these women need from each other, but they will always repel each other.”

• Felicity Huffman (Lynette): With Lynette returning to work next season, Huffman says, “My hope is to not get lost in the corporate world; that it’s still a home and family/husband and children story. But how many times can you go, ‘Kids, clear your plates!’ “

• Eva Longoria (Gabrielle): “I hope she finds happiness, but I don’t know about this pregnancy. I hate the thought of pregnancy pads. I’ve done it before when I was pregnant on ‘The Young and the Restless,’ and it’s uncomfortable. I’m not looking forward to wearing a fake stomach and ugly clothes.”
