In the last of the 1st episode Susan and Mike who believe that they got a happy ending got a news that Susan is pregnant. I'm wandering the writer would not give us such a good news because it is a drama. Everybody in it should have troubles. So I think it may be possible that the father of Susan's child is not Mike,It would be Ian. What do you think?

I thought the same thing...man I hate that when we (as viewers) want couples to stay together and they have to do something like this...but like it goes, then we would not have a good story. I guess we shall see. I did not like her with Ian, it seemed she did not get to be herself. And Mike is better looking. LOL

I don't like her with Ian too. Mike is better than Ian. I don't want Ian to be the father of her baby. But the reality always lets us down,right?

I think that the baby is Ian's.I hope that it's Mikes. But the show is a drama. No one is supposed to be happy.This will be a good story to follow.I liked the first episode.

Yeah that's why we call it a drama. Especially this drama emphasizes on "desperate". Everybody here should be desperate,including Susan. So it's her destiny there are still waves in her life. We can wait and see what they really are.

I immidiately got this feeling, and it would be such a typical twist to it all! I would not be surprised at all!

I don't think so because Ian wasn't seen in this series yet. And the editor is focusing more on Mike being a step-father to Julie than Susan's pregnancy. I think it would spice the story up though.. Mike doubting if he's the father!

The disappearence of Ian doesn't mean he can't be the father and he can't influence their life. Once Mike doubt whether he is the father or not,it will absolutely impact their lift. Thank you!

you know, I had this feeling when she found out she was pregnant that it was too good to be true. I think you are right. I think at some point its going to come up that it could be ian's baby and it will force her and mike apart again. which sucks. i wish they would let one couple be happy. but you're right, its a drama.

There will be another choice. Mike is definitely the father but he doubts whether it is his baby,so he may split with Susan. What is more badly that Susan may lost the baby. That is more terrible. Just guess. I hate what I'm worrying about.

That is the exact thing I said when she found out that she was pregnant. It has to be Ians for the drama involved. They can't make it as easy for it to be Mikes.

Believe or not, I do watch this show, mostly because I like Mike, the new neighbor, and Susan's new doctor, and I have to say, tha I believe as you do, I am beginning to wonder if Mike is the father of Susan's baby? It is very possible that Ian could be the father.

I think the child is Ian's. The sad part is Mike will try to act like he can be a great dad, but each time he looks at the child he will get anger. I hate it when children end up feeling bad about themselves. I think this child is going to need therapy early in life. Why can't the show have one happy couple? Right now, we have seen each of the women have terrible things happen in their lives often. I don't want to be like any of the women to much sadness and pain.

If we be more optimistic, Mike may treat him well even when he finds out that it's not his baby. Maybe that is the truth. I don't want any of them to be really desperate.Thank you for your response!

I would suppose that if Susan and Mike could not have a baby and suddenly in the first episode, she gets the news she is, something is wrong. I suspect Mike is not the father, or if Mike is the father, than down the line, Susan will have a miscarriage, be in an accident and lose the baby, or the baby will be stillborn. There are a whole lot of things that can go wrong. It may also be that the baby will be born, and need a blood transfusion, or have liver problems (after all, if Susan could not get pregnant if Mike was the father, then there had to be a reason why), and maybe Ian is the father, but he gets in an accident and there will be an episode continued next season, etc.

It seems that a lot of people have the same opinion with me. Your're right. This baby's way should be twisted. Because its parents are Mike and Susan who are destined not to have happy marriage. Whether it will see the world with his own eyes is another question.

I thought that at first too and I'm still no sure but how much time is supposed to have passed since Susan was last with Ian? That's one thing I'm not too clear on because look how Brie came home with her big belly so...I'm confused about the whole chronology here. Sometimes I think the writers get mixed up too! Also, everyone says this is a "drama" but the Emmy's classify it as a comedy, albeit a dark comedy, I guess. It will be interesting to see what happens here. Annie

Just about anything is possible on TV and on Desperate Housewives in particular. However, I hope it is Mike's. They have already been through so much, it would be good for something to go right for at least a little while. Hopefully, that is too obviouse a problem for them and something more subtle will be what causes them problems.

As soon as the doctor said Susan was pregnant, I instantly though that Ian was the father. You're right - this show is about drama. And Mike and Susan having a baby and happy life together just doesn't seem scandalous enough. I'm just wondering at what point they'll figure it out (assuming that Mike isn't the father). When Susan was complaining to the doctor about her pregnancy symptoms, she mentioned that she was experiencing them for over a few months. I think that still puts Ian in the picture.

It seems that you have noticed the details. I notice that too. I was thinking why the writer put such scence in it? It may be a sign. The 3rd episode focus on Bree and Katherine. The secret will be revealed in serveral days.Thank you for your attention!

As much as I hate it, I think it really will turn out to be Ian's baby. How long have they been married now? About a month, I think, correct me if I am wrong. And I am sure we will find out in the next few shows how far along she is. Then we can all say, hmmmm...

I hate it too. Maybe the producer is persuading the actor who plays Ian to be back. If he does it succesfully,the baby may be Ian's. If he doestn't,the baby may be Mike's. Who knows? Thank you for your response!

I totally agree with you. I think that the writers have a surprise in store for use. The baby isn't Mikes. We will just have to see. I for sure don like Ian (spelling ?) though.
