"Brenda Strong has revealed that she is &amp;quot;excited&amp;quot; about the final season of Desperate Housewives. Strong plays Mary Alice Young, who committed suicide in the first ever episode of the show and has provided the voiceover for every instalment. Strong has now told TV Guide that she expects she will feel sad when filming her final scenes. &amp;quot;The reality of the loss of the show hasn&amp;#039;t really hit me yet,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I have a feeling as the season progresses, it&amp;#039;s going to be hard for me not to cry when I do the voiceover simply because it means so much to me and the show has meant so much to me.&amp;quot; However, Strong admitted that she is looking forward to having a bigger on-screen presence in the final season. &amp;quot;I think it gives a sense of closure when you tie those two storylines back together,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m really excited to see how they weave the Young family back into what&amp;#039;s currently happening on Wisteria Lane because it&amp;#039;s not an easy task.&amp;quot; Strong also teased that she has recently filmed a scene set on the day Mary Alice committed suicide and revealed that she has heard a &amp;quot;rumour&amp;quot; that another instalment could examine what would have happened if the character hadn&amp;#039;t killed herself. &amp;quot;How would everyone&amp;#039;s lives be different if Mary Alice hadn&amp;#039;t committed suicide?&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I think that&amp;#039;s a really interesting concept and it explores this idea that we&amp;#039;re all connected. This season, they have a very strong vision of how they want to bring her back.&amp;quot; The final season of Desperate Housewives will premiere on September 25 on ABC. &amp;gt; Desperate Housewives won&amp;#039;t wither and die, say stars &amp;gt; Desperate Housewives end: Is it the right time? &amp;gt; Desperate Housewives top moments: Friday Fiver &amp;gt; Read more Desperate Housewives coverage Watch a look back at Desperate Housewives below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
