First, a plane crash will occur on Wisteria Lane. Then afterwards the residents will have FlashFowards.
Michael Ausiello reports that Desperate Housewives will incorporate temporary "what if" flash forwards after the epic plane crash that is to happen later this season. The flash forwards will take place thirty years in the future given that the casting call is looking for actors to play aged versions of Gaby's youngest daughter Celia and Susan and Mike's son, MJ. Both will be in their thirties. The flash forward will be temporary and be an alternate "what if" look at life post the accident and if a certain unknown character hadn't kicked the bucket in the plane crash.
For some reason, I can't help but see an ABC exec standing with a gun aiming at Marc Cherry as Mr. Cherry writes profusely, sweating even faster to instill ABC's hit primetime stories together for the sake of free promotion.
ABC's crossover extravaganza started last month with rumors saying that an Oceanic Airlines aircraft would be the plane to crash onto Wisteria Lane. If you are culturally challenged or just plain... well, not in the know, then you know that Oceanic Airlines is the fictional airline on LOST that you would be slightly crazy to travel on. The episode of the plane crash is slated to be the midseason cliffhanger for DH and that would be a perfect time to promote the return of LOST for it's last season. And we all know that FlashForward is one of the latest hits for ABC, so the melting pot of hit shows are starting to over flow with DH being the epicenter in this souffle of free promotion.
Now all Wisteria Lane has to do is battle aliens and the Great Crossover Cake will come to a confusing end.

Not sure if this is a cross promotion with FlashForward, but I certainly do like the fillerepisode idea. It’s just an original take on a characters death, plus it makes for some great what-if stories.
