WASHINGTON (AP) - It's true: "Desperate Housewives" will flash-forward five years.

Marcia Cross, who plays domestic goddess Bree on the ABC comedy-drama, told AP Radio in a recent phone interview that a flash-forward narrative device will offer viewers a glimpse into the future lives of the Wisteria Lane gang.

Spoiler alert: Read no further if you don't want to know what happens to some of the central characters.

Cross said her character makes "a big leap."

"She's gone out into the world and she's become a bit of a success," the 46-year-old actress said.

When asked if that success has anything to do with the catering business Bree started with her neighbor Katherine (Dana Delany), Cross replied, "It does have to do with the business. Bree definitely has made a name for herself."

And Bree - the embodiment of preppy style - will change her look.

"Let's put it this way, the (hair) flip has died and I'm so happy about that," Cross said.

She also revealed that Eva Longoria Parker's character, Gabrielle, "has had some children."

When asked what becomes of the troublesome Kayla (Rachel Fox), who is Tom's (Doug Savant) daughter, Cross said, "She hightails it out of town or is hightailed out of town."

The season finale of "Desperate Housewives" airs Sunday.

ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co.

The whole flashforward thing (no pun intended) hasn't worked all that well in television before. They tried it with Alias and ruined the damn show. Kinda makes me glad that I only watch Desperate Housewives on DVD, so if I don't like what they've done at the end of the season, I can just stop buying them without feeling like I'm missing out on something that I might as well watch because it's free.
 
it has worked well on shows like Charmed.

Desperate Housewives has been really good, but then it would get really sloppy. With the
departure of Edie in last week's episode
I wonder what THAT is going to mean for the tone of the show in the future.

im not TOO sure about the "flash foward" episode myself...i hope they dont ruin the idea the way the ruined the "Betty Applewhite" character and storyline.
