Man, when you watch the seasons a few times, Katherine's break down is pretty understandable. Had a husband who beat her consistently, her child died and Katherine had to bury her out of fear of her husband finding out. Had to keep the secret from her adopted daughter for years. Her second husband cheated on her then she thought she had found happiness with Mike only for it to be taken away. I'm team Susan and Mike 100% but damn it's rough when you put it all together.
I agree. I think that Katherine’s character had so much potential, but she was woefully underutilized. After Wayne’s death, Adam’s departure, and Dylan became engaged in Paris, Katherine had nothing left to cling to, except her job. She felt envious of Bree’s newfound claim to fame, and bitterness towards Bree for using some of her recipes. Instead of hooking her up with Susan’s ex husband Mike, why not give her a shot at real love with a new man? The writers easily could have written her as a divorcee with a new boyfriend (other than Mike) or given her a long lost sister or mother, with new backstory. The setup of Katherine and Mike as a couple was the beginning of the end for her character, and Dana Delaney was smart enough to see it. As much as it pains me to say this but by the time season 6 rolled around Katherine wasn’t a desperate housewife, she was a pathetic, lonely, divorcee who went off the deep end. After she finally received treatment for her mental breakdown, the writers decided to make her character suddenly develop romantic feelings for a woman. The relationship between Katherine and Robin felt very forced, and it was clear at this point that Dana Delaney wanted out. What a terrible waste of an amazingly talented actress. Katherine’s only crime was that she wasn’t one of the four core housewives, which meant she was completely expendable.
Fun fact: dana delaney was originally considered for the role of bree, but nobody could play bree like marcia cross did. Dana was perfect for the role of katherine anyway. Everyone in this show was cast perfectly.
Nicolette James The producers made a good choice choosing Marcia over Dana to play Bree then. Marcia can play a strict/rigid character and being funny at the same time, while to me Dana cannot deliver that funny side, on every season she has been on I found her annoying and unlikable. She’s actually the only DH in the show that I couldn’t bear. However in this scene and the one when she’s with her psychologist and admits all the bad things she has done are very good
Actually, it was Dana who refused the offer since she had already played a similar character (a character "just like" Bree) in another series, so, when they were casting, she was looking for a different character. It's awesome that, seasons later, she was able to participate in Desperate Housewives anyway, bringing to us the amazing Katherine - a housewife that was even able to rival with Bree in terms of perfectionistic behaviors hihi. Dana rocks!!!
Marcia was perfect as a Bree but I’m sure Dana would nail this role too. I can see her as a Bree with that friendly smile and cold eyes walking with a pie and wearing pearls lol!
The way Mike treated her and confessed that he never loved her was messed up. Mike used her. Care what anyone says, like Katherine or not she didn't deserve they way she was treated. I learned from this series that when married couple are separated, they are often times just taking a break from each other.
Mike didn't use her though he probably did like her but he always loved Susan deep down. I think the reason he told her he never loved her was because he got so fed up of Katherine stalking him and causing trouble in his and Susan's lives. She told people Mike came onto her when Julie was in the hospital, she told Orson they slept together, she put on Susan's wedding dress and tried to ruin it, then threatened to make a scend at their wedding and actually did it. She was snooping around Susan's house all the time and ended up getting shot despite Susan shouting out a warning that she had a gun, she keyed Bree's car and then went even lower by saying nasty things about Susan to MJ and that caused Mike to finally snap and when he did Katherine set him up and put his prints on the knife and stabbed herself thats massively fucked up and I kind of lost all sympathy when she trashed Susan to MJ no matter how bad she was feeling its no excuse to upset a young child by saying nast things about his mother I get why Mike snapped
I can’t help but feel so bad for Katherine in this scene. The poor woman held onto this delusion of a life she shared with Mike, that it physically and emotionally caused her harm. I feel for her daughter having to watch helplessly as her mother has a breakdown in front of her. It doesn’t matter how old you are, when you see your parent in such a state, it’s a very helpless feeling. Dana Delany didn’t have the best material, but she delivered!
The first time I watched this bit, I didn't understand and I hated Catherine I thought Mike and Susan belonged with each other. Then, after I had an incident where I almost lost it I finally understood Catherine, her pain, her despair, her sorrow. She wasn't healthy here and Mike saying to Catherine that he never loved her and imagined Susan being with him, him leaving her just before the wedding and marrying someone without giving her a proper closure, without giving her time to go through those emotions, also she has been through a lot: her first husband was abusive, her daughter died, her second husband cheated on her, her abusive husband tried to kill her. It was a lot for a normal person to handle no wonder she lost it
I've always felt that Katherine was very similar to Bree, in the sense that they don't like to present themselves as anything less than adequate, and even try to show off a bit Katherine must've been incredibly mortifed to let Dylan see her in such a vulnerable state of mind, maybe for the first time ever
It's scenes like this that make me adore Dana Delany. Yeah, her character was a bad apple, but Dana's acting is what made it all so wonderful during her run on the show. The casting people did an excellent job in picking Dana to be Katherine. I can't think of anybody else who could pull off such a terrific job in showing all of Katherine's... "crazy" sides, as well as the grief as raw as hers. Two thumbs up to Dana Delany for another riveting performance!!!
For having experienced a full on breakdown myself, what people don’t get is that you basically become another person and don’t really control your actions or what you say anymore. When I first saw Katherine’s breakdown I thought she was crazy. But now I know ... she was just not herself for a while cause she was heartbroken to the point of losing her sanity. Thank god she becomes a billionaire at the end haha
Well said. I'm glad that Katherine got some momentum after this scene and got a pretty nice ending. I'm not sure if you watch The Office, but this sort of thing happened to one of the characters (Jan) and the writers never salvaged her character. It was disappointing to watch
I think Katherine was very dark & cold but only because she was actually rather insecure and vulnerable which made the audience sympathise with her character. She was definitely one of the most misunderstood housewives. It was interesting when they made her a lesbian after her breakdown over Mike. I think she just wanted to explore other options as I got that feeling she gave up on men within the end. I'd say she was the most vulnerable in the group and the most misunderstood xx
She's one of the greatest actresses for being able to deliver tears in a scene. You can actually watch her eyes fill up with tears and watch them spill over, so you know that it's absolutely real. Talent!
I never cared for Katherine. I loathed her in season 6. Dana Delany did a great job playing her though. I will say the producers did screw her over when they had to turn her into the enemy and then made her curious? Like really?
I didn't appreciate the biphobia of Marc Cherry in how Katherine ended up. At the end of the series, she was just a fulcrum when she could have had a more interesting story. #whenmenwritewomen
To all the people claiming to have 'hated' Katherine in season 6...that's proof that Dana Delany did a good job playing the role. It's intentional that she was so unlikeable. I, for one, liked this psycho bitch storyline that she had. Probably because I find psychotic women to be interesting (2013 was an amazing year because of Amanda Bynes).
Katherine’s storyline was so sad during this season. Mike used her and left her high and dry knowing he didn’t love her in the first place. This is why I don’t trust people. Horrible
The writers and producers made a point of trying to turn Katherine into the “new Edie” aka the new villain. Poor Katherine went from being a desperate housewife to a lonely, delusional Middle Ages woman. She had excellent material in her debut season, crap in season 5, then send off material in season 6. At the very least, they could have given her a new husband or a boyfriend other than a friends ex husband. A clear set up for disaster.
TBH though f*ck Mike , if you recall he was just playing her and was never in love with her while she was going head over heals for him and he knew it ....so it's technically his fault .... and considering her history it makes sense why she would have a meltdown .Poor Katherine .. she's really going threw it.
Poor Katherine. .. I'm kinda sympathized with Kath. Her life is pretty much miserable. X hasband was DV and a new boyfriend(mike) treats her terribly. . . I just feel sorry for her :( Some ppl think she's crazy but ppl made her crazy. She deserves to be happy tho...
i never understood heartbreak and i never understood movies like Titanic, Romeo&Juliet, or any other situation when crazy things hapen out of love ... until i experienced it myself. not saying Katherine is perfect for mike, but i truly understand the pain. it is horrible when you can't be with someone you love so much.
I really really really REALLY hated Kathrine in Season 6 and I loved her so much on her previous seasons. Her storyline this season didn't match up to her personality.
+Eric Franklin Yes, I heard, that the film producer wanted Katherine and Mike to be together, but the audience wanted Mike and Susan. They complained and the film producer needed to change everything in the sixth season.
Miki Taskov Susan and Mike belonged together. Katherine and Mike only got engaged because Susan and Jackson were 'engaged.' And that hurt Mike. So he proposed to Katherine. She knew he only did it for that reason. So, when Susan told Katherine it was only so Jackson could stay in the country and to tell Mike that. Katherine didn't. She manipulated Mike because she knew he still loved Susan.
Honestly katherine's mental breakdown does make sense when you consider her life story. She went through so much that should've driven her insane much earlier, she was barely hanging on by a thread when mike came along, and then when mike left her that finally broke her.
I don't care what anybody says. Sure a lot of people might despise the Katherine character. But I've loved her since season 4. Bree and Katherine are my favorite housewives.
Why all the hate on Susan? She's not my favorite believe me by a long shot but Katherine was the one who started everything. First by dating one of her best friends ex-husbands then while in the relationship knew that he wasn't over Susan at all! But she still tried to make Mike fall completely in love with her and forget about Susan, which she knew after dating him for awhile wasn't going to happen! Especially when he "proposed" to her and she knew that he was only doing so because Susan was getting married to that painter guy. For her to not tell Mike that Susan's wedding was fake and to text Susan pretending to be Mike and tell her he will continue to pay alimony is a desperate attempt to stay in her fantasy world. So for her to Blame Susan for "Stealing Mike" is just BullShit! I liked Kat but in Season 6 that went downhill. She should have just admitted that she knew Mike would always go back to Susan and move on, but instead she decided to act like a NUT and lose her mind.
She knew during all her relationship with Mike that he was still in love with Susan, and told him about it a lot of times. It s'like she was saying, if you still love Susan, maybe we shouldn t be together. But Mike assured her he loves her, otherwise we wouldn t be marrying her. He almost yelled at the airport to ''prove'' his love. So we cannot say that Katherine wasn t aware of the fact that Mike still loves Susan and told him about.
Luigi Soldier It's not that susan was at fault for what happened between her, mike, and katherine. It's just that susan is a dumb crazy bitch who just sucks at being a person.
Why all the hate on Susan? 1. for crying out loud, Julie, her daughter made almost everything at home for a long time. she could not do most things or wish not to at home - this includes doing bills, cooking, housecleaning - this is actually said by Julie in Season 4 and also in 3, when Susan scolds Julie in the episode Bang! - initally, she was down because Karl left her, but even after that, she did not do most things 2. she is constantly whining over things, and lots of those are actually her fault. For example: a. Ian' s wife was in coma, just like Mike, and so Ian and Susan had some fun in bed at times - initially, it is understandable, but Susan played both Ian and Mike, cause this continued after Mike woke up from coma b. she scolded both Mike and Ian because she could not choose between them, only after she was confronted by a psychologist 3. telling everyone to be moral, yet she is often times not moral, see above points In short, she is a hypocrite.
to be honest I never shipped Susan & Mike, she did not deserve him at all. I watched it with my boyfriend years later & even he said that Kathrine is better for Mike. She actually loved him the way he was & made him happy before Susan came along yet again after yet another failed relationship. All Susan did was driving Mike into madness because she kept wanting expensive things for MJ & herself that they just could not afford, without doing anything for it herself. She found a job by accident at the school & wanted Mike to take care of it costs just by himself before. Also she did not even wait 6 freaking months for Mike, before starting another relationship. She was a total bitch to Ian when Mike woke up, only to ran back to him when Mike could not remember who Susan is anymore & she was about to marry Ian even though she never really loved him, just to break his heart as soon as she realized that Mike could still be into her. Also Kathrine did not know about Mike being not over Susan. & to be honest I think he was happy with Kathrine before, he started to get over Susan. But like Edie once said: Susan comes along with her big brown Bambi eyes & gets whatever she wants.
It would have been funny if a little desk radio somewhere in the hospital started playing "Mama Told Me Not to Come" by Three Dog Night at the end of this scene.
Remember when Katherine came on the lane Susan was always standing up for her.. Even when she tried to make Lynette tear down her kids tree house, Susan still voted her to become the Home Owner Association President instead of Lynette.... I didn't feel sorry one bit for Susan here!
M4NU3L95 Susan painted to let out her guilt. These were later exposed in a public gallery. She had painted various scenes from the murder including the four women burying a body in the woods. Hardly screams innocent does it?
She was going to marry Mike but there was that car accident that made him realize that Suzan is the one he loved and suddently marry her instead, So yea, I feel really bad for Katherine
You all pity Katherine but you seem to forget she re appeared on the last season a millionaire with her own international business. She ended off pretty good.
well that was painting was never supposed to go up, it's not like susan asked her teacher to hang it on the wall for everyone to see and they wouldn't have even gotten in trouble if Bree didn't decide to bury the body, the man broke into Gabby's house so it was self-defense and susan didn't steal mike, it was mike who wanted her back and kissed her, you seriously need to open your eyes, the man didn't love katherine
@moviemania147 You're in so much luck because it is confirmed that Katherine will DEFINITELY return for the final season =D It's a good thing too because she needs to make more appearances (cause she's my fav along with Bree) and a proper final appearance (although I hope she makes it to the series finale episode).
@madmia92 well, if none of you british people sound like that, what makes you think the receptionist is doing a british accent? And what does this video have to do with Twilight?
this scene is illustrative of how writers sometimes want to do too much, it would have been much more emotional if it was only mother and daughter and just the two of their connection that made the more break... i didn't need suzane
I don't understand people saying Susan is selfish. How? She was the only one who believed Paul Young could be a good person, and cooked him all that food (even though it got poisoned by Felicia Tillman and Susan, not the brightest bulb in the bunch, didn't notice.) She felt the most guilt after the burying of Alejandro. She tried to get her art teacher to actually be a father to his son. She tried to explain to Bree why Karl would be a horrible husband, yet also didn't judge their relationship. I love Susan! She's a hopeless romantic, optimist, always seeing the best potential in people to be good. She has a heart of gold, she's just also kind of ditzy.
I had a few problems with Susan that stood out. For starters, I didnt like the way she raised Julie, and how her teenage daughter generally showed more maturity than her. The fact that Susan was snooping on Edie and Mike, was wholly intrusive, and that led to her burning Edie's house down. Edie sought revenge, which caused Susan and Julie to be homeless for a bit. Susan oftentimes carried a big heart, but she could be illogical and careless.
@@Joe_Parmesan Interesting observations. I see what you're saying about the way she raised Julie, but when they finally introduced her mother, played by Lesley Ann Warren, I think it all started to make sense as to why Susan was so immature, because her mother was even more immature than she was. So with each generation, the women got stronger. I always tear up at the scene where Julie goes off for college and she tells Susan that she's a strong woman now and doesn't need Julie anymore. It's so cute! What I love about the four principal female lead characters is that each of them showed incredible growth as human beings from season 1 through season 8. Susan became more mature, Gabby having children became less selfish, Bri stepped into her own power as both a business woman and a fully sexually empowered woman - but most impressively, overcame her homophobia and went on to become an amazing mom to her gay son, and Lynette finally learned to be a little less controlling of her husband. I just love those four women!
@@SmoothCinnamonX I forgot about Susan's mother, and that's unfortunately true. She didn't really have much better to work with. And, although Susan gets a lot of heat for some of her behavior in Season 8, she was great in how she stepped up for MJ, after Mike's untimely death. MJ was understandably upset and started lashing out, but Susan figured out a way to curb that behavior. I agree about the 4 leads too (and, Katherine). Bree was fascinating, and I would've enjoyed seeing her rise to power based on the show's epilogue
I don't think Susan was that bad! She just made a couple mistakes when she burned down Eddie's house by accident in the first episode, When she shot Katherine by accident, Then damaged Mike's house a it when she went through his stuff, When she gave Zach money to Utah, and got rejected by Mike about it
I know the character was sick, but in retrospect, I would have said this earlier: Hey, it's a just a man. There are better things to have your life around.
Im sorry Katherine irritated tf out of me. She knew mike never loved her but she tried to force it anyways. That was her thing, always trying to force things. I think thats what ultimately led to her decline/Breakdown
Dont like the way Susan was trying not to laugh when catherine screamed. You can see she was trying to hide her smile when she puts her hand to her mouth. Maybe that was just bad acting though...
Maybe but it didn't bother Susan neither and she enjoyed it because she NEEDED men without really love them (even if I think she loved Mike) and didn't feel bad for Katherine. And that's stupid to put Mike with Susan again that's too expactable. Susan need die!
"I asked you not to come..."
Such despair.
yes almost like they all gonna laugh at you quote *carryie movie
Man, when you watch the seasons a few times, Katherine's break down is pretty understandable. Had a husband who beat her consistently, her child died and Katherine had to bury her out of fear of her husband finding out. Had to keep the secret from her adopted daughter for years. Her second husband cheated on her then she thought she had found happiness with Mike only for it to be taken away. I'm team Susan and Mike 100% but damn it's rough when you put it all together.
Emily Jones 100% agree with you. But I had a hard time accepting it knowing how of a very strong woman she was in previous season
Agreed. I hate her but you'd be that way to going through all that
Damn I don’t blame Susan for anything but DAMN this proves how much of a dick Mike is
Fishfish212 not really. People fall out of love all the time
Yes
I think Katherine has one of the most tragic storylines of Desperate Housewives.
Nicolette Sheridan (Edie) too
I think they all do to some degree. For me, I think brees is really sad
I agree. I think that Katherine’s character had so much potential, but she was woefully underutilized. After Wayne’s death, Adam’s departure, and Dylan became engaged in Paris, Katherine had nothing left to cling to, except her job. She felt envious of Bree’s newfound claim to fame, and bitterness towards Bree for using some of her recipes.

Katherine’s only crime was that she wasn’t one of the four core housewives, which meant she was completely expendable.
Beth is number one
Because they knew Dana could pull it off
I felt so bad for Katherine as she looked rather hysterical and lost. Dana Delaney did a great job in the scene.
Fun fact: dana delaney was originally considered for the role of bree, but nobody could play bree like marcia cross did. Dana was perfect for the role of katherine anyway. Everyone in this show was cast perfectly.

@Jinaz Ivanoi I didn't know that, but seeing her portrayal of Kimberly on Melrose Place, I think I could see her pulling off Edie.
Not only is Dana Delany gorgeous. She is an incredible actress as you can see here.
I can understand Katherine's pain. Mike just dumped her overnight and went back to Susan. And then all of her friends deserted her. Poor lady.
The way Mike treated her and confessed that he never loved her was messed up. Mike used her. Care what anyone says, like Katherine or not she didn't deserve they way she was treated. I learned from this series that when married couple are separated, they are often times just taking a break from each other.
Jac jac he most likely said that to try snap her out of that as she wouldn’t listen to anything else he’d try to tell her
I never liked Mike
Mike didn't use her though he probably did like her but he always loved Susan deep down.

She told people Mike came onto her when Julie was in the hospital, she told Orson they slept together, she put on Susan's wedding dress and tried to ruin it, then threatened to make a scend at their wedding and actually did it.

Not true. When couples separate mostly means they don't love each other.
nah she deserved it for all the crazy sh!t she pulled
You've waited for her to finally go down, but when the moment comes, your satisfaction quickly ebbs away to leave room to pity and shock.
''I asked you not to come''. It's quite sad when Katherine says it.
I can’t help but feel so bad for Katherine in this scene. The poor woman held onto this delusion of a life she shared with Mike, that it physically and emotionally caused her harm.

gargouenzene I love Dana Delany but don't particularly care for DH storyline. The love story with Robin is a bit too weird for me......
Oh straight people, stop being so straight lol!
it's not about being straight or whatever...i think he meant that the plotline just felt out of place in relation to the others
She was a copycat verison of Bree and boring.
I didn't appreciate the biphobia of Marc Cherry in how Katherine ended up. At the end of the series, she was just a fulcrum when she could have had a more interesting story. #whenmenwritewomen
Whew this literally had 20 year old me SHOOK! But now I understand sis! 💜

Thank you so much for posting this. Even though I am an avid fan, I'd forgotten how good it was!
I will admit that Katherine did a good job in this scene.
Dana Delany is the best actress ever!
The writers and producers made a point of trying to turn Katherine into the “new Edie” aka the new villain. Poor Katherine went from being a desperate housewife to a lonely, delusional Middle Ages woman. She had excellent material in her debut season, crap in season 5, then send off material in season 6. At the very least, they could have given her a new husband or a boyfriend other than a friends ex husband. A clear set up for disaster.
I love Dana Delaney ever since she moved into Wisteria Lane season 4 :) Love love love this scene. She's brilliant. Can't wait to see her new show.
TBH though f*ck Mike , if you recall he was just playing her and was never in love with her while she was going head over heals for him and he knew it ....so it's technically his fault .... and considering her history it makes sense why she would have a meltdown .Poor Katherine .. she's really going threw it.
Poor Katherine. .. I'm kinda sympathized with Kath. Her life is pretty much miserable. X hasband was DV and a new boyfriend(mike) treats her terribly. . . I just feel sorry for her :( Some ppl think she's crazy but ppl made her crazy. She deserves to be happy tho...
i never understood heartbreak and i never understood movies like Titanic, Romeo&Juliet, or any other situation when crazy things hapen out of love ... until i experienced it myself. not saying Katherine is perfect for mike, but i truly understand the pain. it is horrible when you can't be with someone you love so much.
I am sorry! How are you now?
I am fine, thank you. The experience just gave me a lot of thought. Never knew how real the emotion can get.
Thank god she did not say “You are not even my daughter!”. I guess her love is really strong.
bruh, she adopted the child. Why did she need to announce that? that not the child fault that she was adopted
I really really really REALLY hated Kathrine in Season 6 and I loved her so much on her previous seasons. Her storyline this season didn't match up to her personality.
+Eric Franklin Yes, I heard, that the film producer wanted Katherine and Mike to be together, but the audience wanted Mike and Susan. They complained and the film producer needed to change everything in the sixth season.

Honestly katherine's mental breakdown does make sense when you consider her life story. She went through so much that should've driven her insane much earlier, she was barely hanging on by a thread when mike came along, and then when mike left her that finally broke her.
I don't care what anybody says. Sure a lot of people might despise the Katherine character. But I've loved her since season 4. Bree and Katherine are my favorite housewives.
same
Daniel C Edie & Katherine ♡
Love DANA DELANY
holy shit Dana makes me so happy. she is awesome in this scene!
where is her emmy damn it
John Nguyen susan gets a fucking emmy but she doesn’t, why
I hated the decline of her character. She came in so strong.
right! i feel like katherine didn’t deserve this shitty sad storyline :(
Dana is the best actress on the show i think (i also loooove Drea, Eva and Andrea Bowen)
Why all the hate on Susan? She's not my favorite believe me by a long shot but Katherine was the one who started everything. First by dating one of her best friends ex-husbands then while in the relationship knew that he wasn't over Susan at all! But she still tried to make Mike fall completely in love with her and forget about Susan, which she knew after dating him for awhile wasn't going to happen! Especially when he "proposed" to her and she knew that he was only doing so because Susan was getting married to that painter guy. For her to not tell Mike that Susan's wedding was fake and to text Susan pretending to be Mike and tell her he will continue to pay alimony is a desperate attempt to stay in her fantasy world. So for her to Blame Susan for "Stealing Mike" is just BullShit! I liked Kat but in Season 6 that went downhill. She should have just admitted that she knew Mike would always go back to Susan and move on, but instead she decided to act like a NUT and lose her mind.
She knew during all her relationship with Mike that he was still in love with Susan, and told him about it a lot of times. It s'like she was saying, if you still love Susan, maybe we shouldn t be together. But Mike assured her he loves her, otherwise we wouldn t be marrying her. He almost yelled at the airport to ''prove'' his love. So we cannot say that Katherine wasn t aware of the fact that Mike still loves Susan and told him about.
Luigi Soldier It's not that susan was at fault for what happened between her, mike, and katherine. It's just that susan is a dumb crazy bitch who just sucks at being a person.
Why all the hate on Susan?
1. for crying out loud, Julie, her daughter made almost everything at home for a long time. she could not do most things or wish not to at home - this includes doing bills, cooking, housecleaning - this is actually said by Julie in Season 4 and also in 3, when Susan scolds Julie in the episode Bang! - initally, she was down because Karl left her, but even after that, she did not do most things
2. she is constantly whining over things, and lots of those are actually her fault. For example:
a. Ian' s wife was in coma, just like Mike, and so Ian and Susan had some fun in bed at times - initially, it is understandable, but Susan played both Ian and Mike, cause this continued after Mike woke up from coma
b. she scolded both Mike and Ian because she could not choose between them, only after she was confronted by a psychologist
3. telling everyone to be moral, yet she is often times not moral, see above points
In short, she is a hypocrite.
to be honest I never shipped Susan & Mike, she did not deserve him at all. I watched it with my boyfriend years later & even he said that Kathrine is better for Mike. She actually loved him the way he was & made him happy before Susan came along yet again after yet another failed relationship.
All Susan did was driving Mike into madness because she kept wanting expensive things for MJ & herself that they just could not afford, without doing anything for it herself. She found a job by accident at the school & wanted Mike to take care of it costs just by himself before.
Also she did not even wait 6 freaking months for Mike, before starting another relationship. She was a total bitch to Ian when Mike woke up, only to ran back to him when Mike could not remember who Susan is anymore & she was about to marry Ian even though she never really loved him, just to break his heart as soon as she realized that Mike could still be into her.
Also Kathrine did not know about Mike being not over Susan. & to be honest I think he was happy with Kathrine before, he started to get over Susan. But like Edie once said: Susan comes along with her big brown Bambi eyes & gets whatever she wants.
Stop blaming Katherine or Susan, the only responsable here is Mike.
I love so much Dana and DH
Dana Delany is the most beautiful & talented actress ever.
Shouldn’t have gotten involved with a guy your friend was obviously still in love with.
the best scene of the season !
Lindsey Fonseca is soooo beautiful
amazing scene... wow.
They better be bringing Katherine back in the final season. Her storyline needs closure and I really, really want to see her again on the show.
Damn, Mike must of had the magic stick 🪄😂
Kathrine: do not come. Do not come.
Dylan: I’m gonna come.
Katherine always was my favorite character. She went a bit nuts in season 6 but that’s what made her character development so interesting.
dana delany es genial que falta hace en desperate housewives
dana is the best actress ever!
2:18 2:22 2:25
I dnt get why everybody here is insulting her...she is ill ...it s not her fault
It would have been funny if a little desk radio somewhere in the hospital started playing "Mama Told Me Not to Come" by Three Dog Night at the end of this scene.
Remember when Katherine came on the lane Susan was always standing up for her.. Even when she tried to make Lynette tear down her kids tree house, Susan still voted her to become the Home Owner Association President instead of Lynette.... I didn't feel sorry one bit for Susan here!
why is brees trail susans fault? Orson was the one who turned her in, with the evidence letter.
M4NU3L95 Susan painted to let out her guilt. These were later exposed in a public gallery. She had painted various scenes from the murder including the four women burying a body in the woods. Hardly screams innocent does it?
1:48 look at door and then again 2:11 MISTAKE but whatever this scene is awesome
I LOOOOOOVE THIS SCENE, I think it sounds much better in this langage than the VF.
I hated Mike in this season. I really felt for Katherine.
Siobhan Marie I would say.. I hate katherine:-( She is evil:-( and she is obsessed with mike!
why?katherine was the one who told mj his mother was a bad person and tried to steal mike from susan
Siobhan Marie katherine was a bitch
She also knows right from wrong, therefore she's accountable.
She was going to marry Mike but there was that car accident that made him realize that Suzan is the one he loved and suddently marry her instead, So yea, I feel really bad for Katherine
You all pity Katherine but you seem to forget she re appeared on the last season a millionaire with her own international business. She ended off pretty good.
well that was painting was never supposed to go up, it's not like susan asked her teacher to hang it on the wall for everyone to see
and they wouldn't have even gotten in trouble if Bree didn't decide to bury the body, the man broke into Gabby's house so it was self-defense
and susan didn't steal mike, it was mike who wanted her back and kissed her, you seriously need to open your eyes, the man didn't love katherine
What season and episode is this from? Desperately want to know!
Season 6 episode 11
always thought katherine was a brilliant character. such a good scene. dana delany was simply brilliant!
@moviemania147 You're in so much luck because it is confirmed that Katherine will DEFINITELY return for the final season =D It's a good thing too because she needs to make more appearances (cause she's my fav along with Bree) and a proper final appearance (although I hope she makes it to the series finale episode).
She goes to a psyciatric hospital. And when she comes back to Wisteria Lane, she started to date Robin, and become a lesbian.
Sonia Gigot and then she decided she was no longer interested in women haha that always got me
@@cordeliacarstairs2796 , I never saw her as bi. Katherine seemed lonely and Robin was giving her attention. So she turned to her.
I don't even watch this show, know the context or anything...but this still made me cry.
@madmia92
well, if none of you british people sound like that, what makes you think the receptionist is doing a british accent? And what does this video have to do with Twilight?
this scene is illustrative of how writers sometimes want to do too much, it would have been much more emotional if it was only mother and daughter and just the two of their connection that made the more break... i didn't need suzane
Omg! Katherine´s such a good actress!
katherine lost ALL her marbles . i hate susan but she's atleast better than this basketcase
2:24 anyone else notice Susan’s smiling
what smile?🤨 she was about to break down
What season is This?
Season 6 episode 11
same!!!!
I don't understand people saying Susan is selfish. How? She was the only one who believed Paul Young could be a good person, and cooked him all that food (even though it got poisoned by Felicia Tillman and Susan, not the brightest bulb in the bunch, didn't notice.) She felt the most guilt after the burying of Alejandro. She tried to get her art teacher to actually be a father to his son. She tried to explain to Bree why Karl would be a horrible husband, yet also didn't judge their relationship. I love Susan! She's a hopeless romantic, optimist, always seeing the best potential in people to be good. She has a heart of gold, she's just also kind of ditzy.
I had a few problems with Susan that stood out.
For starters, I didnt like the way she raised Julie, and how her teenage daughter generally showed more maturity than her.
The fact that Susan was snooping on Edie and Mike, was wholly intrusive, and that led to her burning Edie's house down. Edie sought revenge, which caused Susan and Julie to be homeless for a bit.
Susan oftentimes carried a big heart, but she could be illogical and careless.
@@Joe_Parmesan Interesting observations. I see what you're saying about the way she raised Julie, but when they finally introduced her mother, played by Lesley Ann Warren, I think it all started to make sense as to why Susan was so immature, because her mother was even more immature than she was. So with each generation, the women got stronger. I always tear up at the scene where Julie goes off for college and she tells Susan that she's a strong woman now and doesn't need Julie anymore. It's so cute! What I love about the four principal female lead characters is that each of them showed incredible growth as human beings from season 1 through season 8. Susan became more mature, Gabby having children became less selfish, Bri stepped into her own power as both a business woman and a fully sexually empowered woman - but most impressively, overcame her homophobia and went on to become an amazing mom to her gay son, and Lynette finally learned to be a little less controlling of her husband. I just love those four women!
@@SmoothCinnamonX I forgot about Susan's mother, and that's unfortunately true. She didn't really have much better to work with.
And, although Susan gets a lot of heat for some of her behavior in Season 8, she was great in how she stepped up for MJ, after Mike's untimely death. MJ was understandably upset and started lashing out, but Susan figured out a way to curb that behavior.
I agree about the 4 leads too (and, Katherine). Bree was fascinating, and I would've enjoyed seeing her rise to power based on the show's epilogue
I don't think Susan was that bad! She just made a couple mistakes when she burned down Eddie's house by accident in the first episode, When she shot Katherine by accident, Then damaged Mike's house a it when she went through his stuff, When she gave Zach money to Utah, and got rejected by Mike about it
why did katherine even leave, there was no reason for her to suddenly go unlike with edie
Yup, when a man betrays u it hurts like a bitch
She asked her not to come...
katherine is
.....me....
@@bibaoreo4355 What???
Current mood
what happened to Catherine after this?
Can somebody answer?
shes my favourite lois lane also.
How was Susan allowed there?
I think Katherine's daughter allowed her to come, since Susan called her worried with K
ok, thank you
I know the character was sick, but in retrospect, I would have said this earlier:
Hey, it's a just a man. There are better things to have your life around.
Hey mom
i asked you not to come...
Im sorry Katherine irritated tf out of me. She knew mike never loved her but she tried to force it anyways. That was her thing, always trying to force things. I think thats what ultimately led to her decline/Breakdown
Brill scene
Я одна русская
It's Not fair, what Susan did. I feel sorry for Katherine..
Debatable. Friends shouldn't go after their friends ex husbands. That's messed up.
Not gonna lie her character annoyed me in this season..
isn't katherine too old for mike?:P🤔
Ryan C aha.. ;-) she is such a bitch😝
Because she is the one who made policemen suspecting Bree by painting the scene where they buried gaby's stepfather. She has her part in.
At she did not say “u are not even my real daughter”
you need help
This is why I hate susan
*psychiatric
@crosh86 6th :)
I hated this storyline. It was very immature. It was clear at this point they were running out of ideas.
Dont like the way Susan was trying not to laugh when catherine screamed. You can see she was trying to hide her smile when she puts her hand to her mouth. Maybe that was just bad acting though...
M Whitty lol what. she is far from smiling
What? She didn't smile, you're just making things up
What doesn’t make sense about this storyline is if Katherine supposedly married Mike why Dylan didn’t come to the wedding.
That could've been a good question for Dylan to ask Katherine, since we (the audience) already knew
Maybe but it didn't bother Susan neither and she enjoyed it because she NEEDED men without really love them (even if I think she loved Mike) and didn't feel bad for Katherine. And that's stupid to put Mike with Susan again that's too expactable. Susan need die!
