Desperate Housewives wouldn't be entertaining if it didn't push the boundaries of believability.
But a giant plane crashing out of the sky? The shocking scenes in the new series leave the houses of Wisteria Lane crushed and debris strewn across the street.
More importantly the crash will also kill key characters in the show, according to series creator Marc Cherry.
This isn't the first time a plane crash has been used to add interest to a plotline.
Back in 1993 British soap Emmerdale Farm, as it was then known, was transformed with the help of a huge plane crash. The scenes took three weeks to film and cost £1million, but enabled writers to revamp the show with new characters and scenery.
So will the same happen on
