Desperate Housewives has not even premiered its new season yet - and already creator Marc Cherry is warning fans not to get too attached to any characters.

Speaking to TV Guide Magazine, Cherry admits he's run out of stunts and, therefore, "I'm not doing another big gimmicky natural disaster this year."

So, what should viewers prepare for?

"My big cliffhanger right before we take our Christmas break will have to do with Paul Young. He has a plan for destroying the neighborhood. There will a shocking cliffhanger that effects everyone's lives, and then right before February sweeps, we're going to kill off one of our characters."

It doesn't get much more intriguing than that. Who will the victim be? Let the guessing games begin!
