Season 7 was also touch and go for a while there, and lots of stuff about it made it seem like it could be the final season. The return and closure of the Young family storyline, the reappearance of several characters from the past, mostly children and parents, all the odes to Mary Alice's story (such as Beth's suicide and the body in the chest)... However, whereas the argument is somewhat discredited because the writers already managed to make one heck of a season with the thought that maybe, just maybe, it'd be the last one, it is also validated because, well, they already made one heck of a season, how will they build on it now? I'm kinda worried for the show because of its (still good, but) low ratings. Season 7 was amazing, but not even the return of Paul Young and the addition of Vanessa Williams to the cast seemed to really revamp the show. People appear to have given up on our ladies.
