I've rewatched this series countless times and I still get so mad about this storyline of the season. Idk why it ticked me off so much between the fallout of the friends, but it made good television.
Because whether Lynette lied about being pregnant or not, Carlos and Gaby treated her terribly and broke the law. Decent people wouldn't treat anyone this way, let alone an old friend.
Infuriating how pregnant women are treated in Americas workforce. Can’t believe America is 1 out of 6 countries in the world that still doesn’t have paid maternity leave.
Gaby is mean !!!????? Lynette lied and Gaby is mean ? I run a few companies and i expect my employees not to leave when i need them, that's part of the untold deal between employees and their employers. When you hire someone because you are going to need that person to be available and that person deliberately forgets to mention that she is pregnant and is going to go on maternity leave in a few months and then will be less available to take care of kids, this is called a lie. And you can not even fire that person after that because this is not legal and you find yourself paying someone doing half the job she is paid for and for a few months paying her for nothing because she is not even there. This is why out of my 150 employees, 90% are men. That's also why i also preferably hire gay men and women, so that the risk of them leaving to take care of kids is lesser. Sorry but pregnant women are a liability to a company and pregnant women who lie about being pregnant on the interview are the worst employees you can have. Poor Lynette !! You clearly never had to run a business. Poor Carlos, and Gaby is so damn right in that scene.
@@HameedAzar How is that nonsense ? Who is going to do Lynette's job when she is not there ? How is the company going to function when an important member is missing ? Explain to me exactly how this is nonsense ?
Morgan Olfursson It’s nonsense because of what you said above. You say that 90% of your workforce is men and that you prefer to hire gay/lesbian people to avoid having pregnancies to interrupt your business. You say it makes for less liability. How gross. You’re hiring people based on their gender or sexuality just so you can earn a pretty penny at the end of the day and avoid dealing with a natural human occurrence. As if having pregnant women in the workplace and having to take time off is so awful, so heinous. I hope you get what’s coming to you.
Morgan Olfursson You sounds salty, but I sort of agree with you. Most company would hire men than women and I experience it myself when I had to work with my ex colleague who pregnant. I did take half her work loads while she was incapable of some duties due to her pregnancy and after maternity leave it was like doom! I took most of her job until like 9 months later she got back to work. Baby is a bless don’t get me wrong, but don’t make your pregnancy take advantage other people it is unfair! If I were pregnant myself, I would make sure that I have enough saving and won’t make other people feel uncomfortable.
Couldn't get her fired but if he knew from the beginning he would nevet have hired her knowing she'll go on maternity leave during a period of growth for the business.
Morgan Olfursson and you’d be sued out the ass. You can’t discriminate when hiring on the basis of pregnancy. In that same vein you can’t fire someone because they’re pregnant
@@venessapurefoy8336 not necessarily, if he can prove that she lied about being pregnant and that she would eventually goes for a Maternity leave, Carlos can prove that she's not fit for the job, not because she's pregnant but because she won't be here. Also, knowing she was pregnant would have changed everything. So not necessarily
The baby is gunna have to come out some time. And pregnancy causes mood swings, bodily changes, sicknesses, etc. She won't be at the top of her game while pregnant, she's going to need time off during and after delivery. And since Carlos just got the company, the beginning stages are the most vulnerable and crucial. So Lynette fought for the job whilst knowing that she'd have to leave Carlos for a little bit, so in a sense, it's a kind of betrayal.
@@DivisonXx No, she lied because she knew she would be fired sooner than necessary, and to begin with it's sexist and unfair to fire a woman just because she is pregnant.
No it's juste that when you start a new company you have to give 100% of your time. And no it isn't sexiest because when women give birth they have to go away for at least 3 month. That 's while when you accept certain job you have to tell tour boss just for him to be prépared. Carlos is a good friend hé wouldnt have fire her . and now did she think that instead of giving birth she will work? How so
Le cose che avevo letto sui profili gay di romeo del tipo sono diventato un gay sieropositivo perché un gay sieropositivo prima di venire a letto con me non mi aveva detto di essere un gay sieropositivo oppure per telefono un gay mi aveva detto che i gay sieropositivi lo facevano apposta ad andare a letto coi gay sani io non capisco come fanno i gay che li immagino sempre bruni e con gli occhi scuri ad essere così tanto non so neanche che termine usare nei loro riguardi quando Nicoula mi dicesti Giulio la gente è cattiva
I can't believe people can be so insensitive... and so stupid. This is Lynnette. She was discussing business while having contractions. She would not make up any excuse. If she takes a leave, she needs it badly.
Gabby walked right in straight to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine without asking nor informing. Now that’s friendship!
She's so rude. She should ask for permission first..
@@rannierunsfast No it’s not rude when you’re really good friends oh my best friend and I do that all the time
I agree it’s not rude when you’re close friends
@@johniii8147 I don't care how close me and my friends are. If they do this to me I will be pissed!
@@rannierunsfast - you must not have really close friendships then....
I love Gaby being dramatic and coming into the house and make it like her own house
"Hey, Nanook - why are you wearing a parker?" - "Because fur is murder."
Heh.
nanuq
parka
I agree with Lynette...
I love when they ask each other:- Are you sleeping with him? 😂😂
"Because...fur is murder."
She wouldn't lose her job exactly but Carlos would refuse to give her any good stuff incase she couldnt perform to her full potential
Dan Molloy if he refused to give it to her in that instance though she could have sued him
And he’s right
Lol I forgot all about Lynette covering up her pregnancy. I binged watched the series and it was so good.
the swizz how did you binge it
Its not on Netflix
Samantha Garcia I believe it’s on HULU.
UA-cam recommanded out of nowhere these Desperate Housewives clips. Now i feel like watching it all over again!

Love the dramatic face turn at 1:34. Lynette is awesome!!
She could have just not answered and Said she was in the
Shower or something
Hawk S they would’ve found out eventually
Infuriating how pregnant women are treated in Americas workforce. Can’t believe America is 1 out of 6 countries in the world that still doesn’t have paid maternity leave.
I think Lynette wants her factory closed...lol
She didnt want too lose her Job working for carlos
i love this part....the belly look so DARN real...
Hahaha xD
*gasp* What was that?!
Your stomach just kicked me!
Open the parker,
L: I rather not...
OPEN IT!
HAHA BEST TIMES EVER!
if you pause at 0:15 you can see the belly button on the fake belly. it looks so real!
Actually it’s better he does not know she’s pregnant during the hiring process because taking pregnancy into account during hiring is illegal.
Better late than, PREGNANT
Remember Blanche😀
Gaby is so mean in this scene😝poor lynette:(

Why gasp are you sleeping with him…no lol love Lynette’s face
time to find new friends it seems. haha
Yes Gaby should find better friends indeed. Lynette is not a friend, she is a liar, and you don't want liars as friends or as employees.
wat is she eating in the beginning
+Mayer Susan pickles with ice cream or cream cheese
Ice cream with pickles lol 😂
ewwww gross!!!🤣🤣🤣
Happy birthday lynette from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of desperate housewives
But why would the pregnancy get her fired?
Couldn't get her fired but if he knew from the beginning he would nevet have hired her knowing she'll go on maternity leave during a period of growth for the business.
umm because she's gonna be absent during a certain period and business people don't like pregnant women lmao they're a liability in their mind
Why should he keep someone who can't do the job 100%? I would fire her on the spot.

parker XD
How are people able to eat while they are pregnant? I'm pregnant and i literally take Promethazine injections everyday just to control the nausea
People????wtf ,women ,only women get pregnant
She should have told Carlos
2018!!
1,20 is so funny, lol, hu your stormack just kicked me
Today lynette 61 years
Update me. Why is it a problem that she's pregnant?
DoggieBuddies321 I wonder the same thing?🤔🤔😊
Because Carlos fired a woman from his job who was pregnant.
The baby is gunna have to come out some time. And pregnancy causes mood swings, bodily changes, sicknesses, etc. She won't be at the top of her game while pregnant, she's going to need time off during and after delivery.

Carlos is a good friend hé wouldnt have fire her . and now did she think that instead of giving birth she will work? How so
Pregnant women can do their job... overreaction much ?
I think they were worried about when she went on maternity leave because Carlos really needed her since the company was new.
@Charmedious parka u mean
me too ;D
Lynette could have just not let gaby in. It is her house.
This show is so sexist.

it is a bad thing because she'll use the excuse of being pregnant to leave sonner because she has imaginary pregnant women problems lol
What??? Imaginary pregnant women? That's a mean, nasty thing to say. And you are a woman, for God's sake!
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 That just makes it better. Just wait for her to get pregnant and have other people bitch at her for her "imaginary issues".
