How old is bree van der kamp




















Bree forces Susan, Lynette and Gaby to help her out. Bree struggles to make the ceremony a success, but refuses to accept Orson's help offer. To add salt to the wound, the ice sculptors inform Bree they cannot deliver the sculpture on time, forcing Bree to retrieve the sculpture herself.

On her way back to Wisteria Lane, her car's tire punctures, forcing Bree to place the melting sculpture in Benjamin's stroller and roll it along the highway. Orson pulls over and picks her up. Later, Bree finds herself being held hostage by Katherine's ex-husband, Wayne Davis , but is soon freed. Bree and Orson reunite, on the agreement that he will turn himself in to the authorities and go to prison to atone for his crimes.

Before Orson is sent away, Bree throws a dinner party as a farewell celebration. Bree becomes stressed with the prospects of Orson going to jail and, while alone, gives in to her old drinking habit. Orson is taken away the next day. Meanwhile, Bree and Katherine's catering business begins to take off but the two struggle in the partnership because of the former's addiction - she continually misses client meetings and events due to being hung-over. Katherine soon discovers Bree's problem and makes it her duty to help her overcome it.

Bree eventually manages to regain control. During Bree's first visit to Orson in prison, she cannot bring herself to see him because she is disgusted by the conditions. While conversing with a guard, Bree learns that Edie Britt, who left Fairview years before on bad terms with the Wisteria Lane residents, has been visiting Orson every week. Bree goes to Edie's new home and questions her intentions.

Subsequently, Edie reminds Bree that Orson went to jail for her thus proving his love and she wonders why Bree cannot 'suck it up' and visit her husband once a month. Bree, realizing her nemesis is correct, decides to meet with Orson.

With Orson in prison and her children living away from home, an alone Bree decides to take on handyman Eli's advice by completing her cookbook and eventually lands a publishing deal. The combination of her catering business and the publication of her cookbook makes Bree extremely wealthy. She hires Andrew as her business assistant. However, despite her continued success, when Orson is released, Bree does not put her career first and instead concentrates on rebuilding her failed marriage.

Bree's celebrity status in Fairview has skyrocketed and Katherine becomes jealous, straining the two's partnership. Meanwhile, Edie Britt returns to Wisteria Lane, and Bree, along with the other housewives, decide to forgive her and welcome her back.

Bree and Orson begin to become alienated. She refuses to use his last name "Hodge" and later talks about Rex during a radio interview, but completely ignores Orson's existence. When Orson confronts Bree about the issue, she says she is not proud of his criminal history. To make it up to him, Bree promises to make him a pot roast for dinner. She breaks this promise on numerous occasions. Later, after returning from a catering job, Orson forces Bree to cook him dinner, despite it being past midnight.

Bree weeps while preparing the meal. Danielle returns to Wisteria Lane for a small visit, with new husband, Leo Katz , and son, Benjamin, in tow. Bree finds it difficult not to criticize Danielle's parenting, especially when she learns Benjamin is a vegetarian and being home-schooled.

Going against her daughter's wishes, Bree convinces Benjamin to eat a hot dog, telling him that it'll make him strong. At Danielle's welcome home party, Benjamin throws up and Danielle spots traces of meat in his vomit. Furious at her mother's betrayal, Danielle, Leo, and Benjamin, leave. Orson is extremely disappointed in Bree. Bree is awarded the title of Business Woman of the Year but Orson feels burdened by his wife's success, as he struggles to find a job because of his criminal record.

Orson suggests that Bree hire him, which she decides to do, despite Katherine's disagreement. Orson wants to tell everyone at a neighborhood party about him becoming a business partner, but Bree refuses. She fires Orson rather than tell Katherine. During the party, Bree is horrified when Orson demands a divorce.

Bree spills the beans on her addiction returning while he was in prison and tells him how much Katherine helped her. When Katherine tells her she is planning to move to Baltimore as she isn't needed in Fairview anymore, Bree arranges a set-up between Katherine and an old friend of Orson's, Peter Hickey.

Orson later informs Bree that he met Peter in prison - he's an organ trafficker. Bree is shocked and attempts to end the date but discovers that Katherine and Peter have already had sex. When Bree tells Katherine the truth, Katherine decides to move to be with family, leading Bree to say she thinks of Katherine as her sister and Katherine is grateful.

Bree discovers that Katherine is in a relationship with Mike, after seeing the two of them having sex on the test kitchen surveillance tape. Bree confronts Katherine. She reminds Katherine that Susan is her oldest friend in the neighborhood and she doesn't want her to ruin their friendship.

Sandra Birch , a reporter, interviews Bree, with hopes of exposing the truth about Bree's imperfections. Sandra accuses Bree of writing her cookbook to make her seem a like a high power to other housewives, Bree argues that the book is to encourage women to feel that they can get one thing right, "even if it is just a casserole".

Meanwhile, Bree and the gals go to The White Horse nightclub to watch their husbands who have formed a band play. A fire breaks out backstage and chaos ensues. Bree manages to escape but Orson badly injures his septum in a scuffle. Bree discovers that Orson's injury is causing him to snore loudly. Bree, on their doctor 's advice, suggests Orson undergo surgery.

Orson is against this. One night, Orson prepares chamomile tea for the two of them, and puts a sleeping pill in Bree's, so she won't be awoken by his snoring. Bree doesn't drink the tea and leaves it by her bedside. The next morning, Bree is running late for a cooking demonstration at a department store, and in the rush to get ready, she drinks the spiked tea on her bedside.

This causes the cooking demonstration to go to shambles, as a goofy Bree makes a fool out of herself. Following this disaster, Bree forces Orson to have the surgery. Bree learns that the doctor who consulted Orson previously is now dating Andrew. When Bree has Alex and Andrew over for dinner, she finds out from Bob and Lee that he was in a gay porn movie. Bree is deeply concerned her son is making a mistake. However, Andrew is aware of Alex's past - he informs Bree that her protecting him was the nicest thing that she has ever done.

With Andrew and Alex announcing their marriage plans, Bree is introduced to the in-law, Melina Cominis , Alex's mother. Their relationship immediately hits the rocks. The two begin to fight over the boy's affections. Fearing Andrew will move to Oakdale to purchase a house there, Bree buys Wisteria Lane as a wedding gift.

Melina is unimpressed. Alex reacts badly when Bree emasculates Orson in front of him. He doesn't want Bree to talk to her husband like that in front of him, as his mother did that to his own dad. Later, rather than emasculating Orson, Bree is rude to Alex about what he said, and reminds Alex that she bought him and Andrew a house.

Alex wants to give the house back if she's going to keep bringing that up. Andrew doesn't want to be in the middle, but does remind his mother that Alex is not her son, husband, or employee, and doesn't have to listen to her. Bree and Alex make up, and Alex agrees to live in the house, as Bree also gives Alex permission to criticize her, as she knows she's become ruder since her business took off. After the neighborhood handyman, Eli Scruggs , passes away, Bree remembers how he had such a large impact on her life.

As Lynette and Tom begin to argue about who should be working or not, Rex points out that Bree should get a job as well. Later, Rex criticizes Bree when he discovers she is starting to write a cookbook.

As a result, Bree scraps her plans and throws her notes in the trash. Eli, who is fixing the kitchen sink, looks on, sorrowfully. In the final flashback, Eli visits Bree after Rex's funeral. Eli presents her with the cookbook she threw away and encourages her to continue writing it.

Bree makes plans to cook Eli's favorite recipe from her cookbook for his funeral. Bree's latest investment, a new car, annoys Lynette, who is having financial problems. Bree learns off the Scavo's problems and attempts to give them a loan, which Lynette refuses.

Instead, Lynette suggests Bree become a partner in their pizzeria business and she accepts. Bree proposes having a book signing there. However, at the book signing, Bree is disgusted to discover that the Scavos are making recipes from her cookbook - with pre-grated Parmesan cheese.

She tosses the offending food in the trash, which Lynette soon spies upon. This results in harsh words being said between Bree and Lynette. They later make up and agree to not let money get in the way of their friendship. Orson becomes jealous after discovering that Bree has given Andrew a raise - he attempts to learn how much of a raise by hacking into Bree's bank account. When he discovers that Andrew earns almost double what he makes, Orson confronts his wife. Bree tells him that he is worth less than Andrew.

Bree discovers that Orson has stolen a salt shaker from Scavo Pizzeria, and refuses to return it. Later, Bree attempts to help Tom find a new job following the closure of his business and invites her publicist, Bruce , over for a dinner-job-interview. The dinner doesn't go to plan and while helping Bruce gather up this belongings, Bree spots Orson stealing her publicist's tape recorder.

Bree confronts Orson on his behavior and after she has left the room, he steals on of her earrings. Bree tells Orson she won't be selling her business, to his frustration. Bree argues with Orson over his recent kleptomania and suggests he visit a therapist. Bree plans to place everything back into their neighbor's homes - she finds excuses to enter their homes and secretly puts everything back.

To Bree's frustration, Orson continues to steal. Bree forces Orson to have a therapy session. Bree learns during a therapy session that Orson is stealing to hurt her, due to being emasculated.

Following this, their marital problems intensify. Orson attempts to force Bree into selling off her catering business to save the marriage, but Andrew convinces her to refuse.

To Pierce the Dark. Following Edie Britt's death, Bree and the gals are requested to break the news to her son, Travers McLain , and they agree.

On the journey, Bree reminisces about her confrontation with Edie following Orson's imprisonment. They inform Travers of his mother's death and on their arrival back on the lane, decide to scatter Edie's ashes around the neighborhood. Bree tells Orson that she cannot put up with his stealing and lying anymore - Orson promises to stop. Andrew is skeptical of Orson's motives, but Bree insists on giving him a second chance. However, later on, Bree learns from Katherine that Orson has lied about his whereabouts the previous night he was out stealing and was involved in Edie's accident, resulting in her death and she decides to divorce him.

Bree meets with a divorce lawyer and is shocked to learn that Orson will get half of her catering business during the divorce. Determined not to allow this, Bree hires Karl Mayer who is notorious for hiding assets and finding loopholes to help her. Karl suggests to Bree several shady ways of hiding her assets from Orson, which she readily agrees to. But Bree is somewhat reluctant when Karl tells her to rob her own house.

Later, Bree and Karl break into her house and ransack it. When Orson and Bree return home from a party, Orson is shocked to see the house obviously looted. The next day, Orson stirs some romantic memories in Bree when he draws a Venetian mask that was stolen and explains that he's faxed it to the shop where they bought it so they can make a new one.

When she can't believe he'd go to all that trouble, he replies, "Then you must not know how much you mean to me. Orson discovers that Bree has rented a storage unit to hide the stolen assets, while Bree is excited to get the divorce over so she can get on with her life.

Later, Bree returns home to find all of the stolen assets back in the house, along with a furious Orson. The two argue and Bree says she wants an end to their marriage. The next day, Bree learns that Orson has filed an insurance claim and if she divorces him, he'll send her to prison for insurance fraud.

Bree tells Karl about Orson's blackmail threat. Karl hires a man to attack Orson, who orders him to let Bree go. Bree is furious with Karl for organizing the attack and accuses him of turning her into a completely different person. Bree proceeds to fire Karl, but before she can do so, he kisses her. And they both enjoy it. Bree and Karl set out on an adulterous relationship. Bree, however, is ambivalent to have sex with Karl, despite his eagerness, and rebuffs his advances.

She confronts Orson regarding their failed marriage, who remains determined to salvage their relationship. Orson admits his guilt for blackmailing Bree, going on to describe it as a small price to pay for their future happiness. Taking this motto as her own, Bree consummates her affair with Karl. The couple choose a seedy motel room as their romantic rendezvous but Bree begins to worry that she will lose Susan's friendship. Her feelings are further enforced upon hearing that Susan would hypothetically shun someone she knew who dated Karl.

Karl's affections for Bree become increasingly serious and she reminds him she exclusively seeks a no-strings-attached sexual affair. Nonetheless, Bree later becomes jealous when she discovers Karl has been seeing other women outside of their relationship. Bree eventually comes to realize she is starting to develop feelings for Karl and accepts the former's invitation to join him on a romantic weekend in Las Vegas.

Unbeknownst to Bree, Katherine has become increasingly unhinged due to loosing Mike to Susan and is struggling with an unbearable workload at the company. A catering event is ruined due to Katherine's mental collapse and Bree fires her the next day, urging her to seek professional help.

Bree and Karl are caught having sex at the motel by the maid, who is judgmental of Bree's actions and warns her of the consequences of committing adultery. Bree opens up to the maid and reveals that she feels consistently guilty and wishes Orson would stop loving her because she no longer feels deserving. Fearing she is beginning to fall in love, Bree decides to end her affair with Karl.

However, she is persuaded otherwise when Karl proposes. Bree reluctantly agrees to think over his proposition of becoming a changed man if they wed. Karl also presents her with an antique brooch, which he formally gave to Susan during their marriage, who later identifies it and becomes suspicious, as does Orson.

Despite attempting to project an image of wedded bliss to neighbors, Bree continues to beg Orson for a divorce. With Katherine gone, Bree decides to hire new neighbor Angie Bolen as her assistant chef after tasting her Italian cuisine at a dinner party.

Subsequent to clashes of personality, Bree eventually befriends Angie and divulges details about her failing marriage. Bree's efforts to hide her extramarital affair almost fail when she is seconds from being caught by Orson but is assisted by Angie in covering it up. Determined to free herself from her marriage, Bree and Karl develop a scheming plan: stage photographs of Orson meeting with a fellow ex-con and blackmail him with the threat of being returned to jail for breaking his parole conditions.

Susan learns of Bree's relationship with her ex-husband Karl and, although she feels initially betrayed, eventually gives the couple her blessing. Despite Susan's criticism of his shortcomings and indiscretions, Bree confesses her love for Karl. Bree begins to put her blackmail plan into action by arranging a meeting between Orson and ex-con Lamar Banjamin and organizes secret photos to be taken. Bree presents Orson with the photographs and blackmails him with the threat of jail unless he agrees to sign the divorce papers.

Orson subsequently learns of Bree's affair at the neighborhood Christmas block party and engages in a violent fist-fight with Karl inside a make-shift Santa's Workshop. Bree attempts to break the two men apart moments before a private airplane flying a marriage proposal from Karl makes an emergency crash-landing onto the lane. The plane smashes into the workshop with Bree, Orson and Karl still inside. Once rescued from the debris, Bree is rushed to hospital where she is notified of Karl's death.

Descending into a hysterical fit of emotion, Bree is sedated and dreams of her future if she had married Karl. Bree awakes to the news that Orson survived the ordeal but his injuries have left him paralyzed from the waist down.

Still in grief, Bree attempts to atone for her sins and deal with her guilt by removing Orson from hospital and caring for him at home.

Their relationship is, naturally, incredibly strained and at first he refuses to communicate. Attempting to seek revenge, Orson makes Bree wait on him hand and foot. Bree, reluctantly, continues to act as a house-servant for Orson and acts on his every whim.

Eventually snapping and refusing to take anymore, Bree wheels Orson outside and washes him down with the garden hose. Orson announces his resentment for Bree for being instrumental in putting him in a wheelchair and admits his struggles with his miserable life prospects as a paraplegic. Bree begs Orson for forgiveness. When Orson descends into a suicidal depression, Bree places him on suicide watch and attempts to nurse him to sound mental health.

The estranged couple attend a wedding anniversary, whereby Orson attempts to roll himself into a swimming pool to drown. Bree manages to stop him in time and declares her love for him. Agreeing to work through their problems, Bree and Orson reconcile. Bree seeks the counsel of new Wisteria Lane resident, and ex-stripper, Robin Gallagher to assist her reconnect romantically with Orson.

Robin suggests Bree restart their sex life which prompts Bree into attempting to give Orson a lap-dance. This goes horribly wrong yet Bree's attempts to mend their broken relationship is clearly transparent to Orson, who finally manages to forgive Bree for her infidelity.

A mysterious man by the name of Sam Allen visits Bree, insisting he understands her values and wishes to work for her. Although hesitant, Bree is impressed by his ideas and hires him.

Meanwhile, one of Bree's employees, Tad, keeps causing havoc at the company, but Andrew continually defends him. Andrew gets frustrated when Bree plans to fire Tad. Sam assumes that Andrew is having an affair with Tad, which proves to be correct.

Bree is upset with Andrew and Sam hints to her that she should let him go. Bree is reluctant. Impressed by Sam's skills, Bree quickly promotes him to vice-president, much to Andrew's anger. While visiting Sam's home, Bree is stunned to see a photo of Rex and Sam. Sam admits Rex was his father and that he spent years watching Bree's family, wondering why Rex chose them over him. He reveals he decided to introduce himself to Bree after his mother's recent death.

Initially betrayed and shocked, Bree ultimately welcomes Sam into her life. Bree finds herself at odds with Andrew, who suspects Sam has an ulterior motive.

Andrew becomes increasingly hostile towards Sam, much to Bree's disappointment. Later, Bree confides in Sam that she has enjoyed talking about Rex again because it makes her realize how much she misses him and he tells her she can talk about Rex to him any time.

Andrew and Orson both believe Sam is up to something so they decide to team up in order to protect Bree and expose Sam's true intentions. Orson talks to Bree about Sam and while Bree talks about trying to make Sam feel like part of the family, Sam eavesdrops from around the corner and makes a smirk that indicates a hidden agenda. Andrew goes out of his way to attempt to convince Bree about how Sam is manipulating her and she becomes frustrated.

She takes Sam's previous advice and fires Andrew. Sam is alarmed to hear that she plans to eventually take Andrew back in. Shortly afterwards, the food is sabotaged at a dinner Bree is giving while trying to pitch an idea for a new cookbook. Bree sets the sprinklers off to avoid the embarrassment of people eating the food and rejecting the cookbook.

Bree believes Sam when he says that it must be Andrew as he hadn't returned the test kitchen keys; however, Orson points out that this kind of smart, subtle sabotage is more in Sam's style. Bree becomes concerned. Julie Mayer's attacker is revealed to be Eddie Orlofsky , a teenage boy whom Bree had previously hired to do chores for her.

In a flashback, Bree gives Eddie dating advice. She even gives him extra money to buy gifts for the girl he likes.

Bree goes to talk to Barbara when Eddie's object of affection ends up being Danielle. She returns the necklace Eddie left for Danielle and asks Barbara to "let Eddie down easy. Worse, she goes on to say, "The only girl I ever thought he'd end up with would be blind, deaf or inflatable. Eddie tells Bree, "I don't want a friend. I want somebody to love me. Bree decides to dig deeper into Sam's mysterious behavior after she sees him being extremely rude to his supposedly dead mother, Lillian , not to mention Rex's ex.

Bree confronts Lillian and she learns that when Sam was 4, Rex asked for full-time custody and Lillian declined — a secret to which Bree was never privy. A few months ago, Sam learned of Rex's offer, and something snapped, and his plan to worm his way into Bree's life was set into motion. Bree reveals that she knows the secret to Sam, who has a violent tantrum, and smashes a vase. Bree admits to Orson that she is afraid of Sam.

Bree attempts to pay Sam off and gives him a check, which he refuses to take, and tears up. In retaliation, Bree brings in a couple of retired police officers who intimidate him, while having tea and scones.

Sam retreats. Bree, having thought she'd scared him off, is shocked when Sam returns to blackmail her - unless she signs over her entire company to him, he'll tell the police that Andrew ran down Carlos' mother. Bree tells Orson and Andrew about the blackmail threat. She reluctantly signs over her company to Sam in order to silence him.

He asks her not to hate him, before leaving her forever. Meanwhile, Orson resents Bree for sending him to prison because of running over Mike, yet giving up her company in order to save Andrew from the same fate. He admits he respected Bree for holding him to her high standards, yet now that respect is gone because she dropped her standards to protect Andrew.

Bree insists she had no choice but to protect Andrew, and Orson tells her there is always a choice, and his choice is to no longer be her husband. Bree is heartbroken. She later asks Andrew to have permission to do something she should've done a long time ago - confess to Gaby.

Bree confesses Andrew's role in Mama Solis' hit-and-run to Gabrielle and they decide to keep it a secret from Carlos.

Meanwhile, Bree and Orson part ways, as he collects his belongings and leaves. Once he's left, Bree begins to look at some family photos, but is distracted by her peeling wallpaper. She tries to stick it back up, with little luck, and eventually tears the entire wall bare.

She hires a contractor, Keith Watson , to help redecorate her home. Soon, Bree learns that Orson has begun a relationship with his physical therapist and she struggles to come to terms with how quickly he has moved on.

Later, Keith suggests Bree decorate her dining room in a moonstruck yellow. You have other options. At the hospital, Bree learns that Juanita will be fine, and Gaby forgives her for the accident. Subsequently, Bree and Andrew begin to converse about Keith and he informs her that Keith is too young for someone her age. This resonates with Bree and she returns home. During their separation, Edie Britt comes onto Orson, which begins a feud between her and Bree.

This leads to Bree telling the other housewives the truth. Towards the end of the season, Bree and Katherine begin a small catering business together. When Katherine kills Wayne, Bree rallies the other housewives around Katherine to prevent her from going to prison. Bree and Orson have evidently worked out their problems and are still married. She introduces her staff, which includes Katherine.

After Katherine informs the host that she's never known a better cook than Bree, Katherine purposely pretends to have injured her hand so Bree is forced to finish preparing a croquembouche on camera.

Disaster ensues in the midst of preparing the spun sugar for the intricate French dessert. Also, Bree clashes with a photographer during the photo shoot for her cookbook cover. Within the same episode, the audience learns that Bree has reconciled with Orson after he spent time in prison for running over Mike.

A flashback sequence revealed that while Bree awaited Orson's release, she was devastated when Danielle returned to take back her child. Bree pleaded to her daughter that the baby was the only life she had. Danielle harshly responded that her mother should find a new one. This event apparently set Bree on her current path. Because Bree considers her career her new "baby", she almost always puts it before anything else.
