In the theme of wrapping things up, some old characters are returning this season. When Julie came home, she was hoping for some support from her mother. Susan was completely willing to do this, until she learned that Julie was planning on giving the baby up for adoption.

It seems that a requirement of living on Wisteria Lane is being utterly incapable of making rational adult decisions. Gaby also continually prioritizes her own happiness over that of her children, husband and friends.

It is understandable why the characters are written this way. It allows for life lessons to be learned, dramatic changes of heart to occur and cathartic confrontations to be staged. However, it also causes the viewers to lose significant amounts of sympathy for the characters. If the show really ends the way it started, and the women of Wisteria Lane take their lives, will this be emotionally traumatizing for their viewers of eight years?

Or will it be a relief? They have followed these women long enough. The viewers have been frustrated by them many times.
