Bree's husbands and boyfriends tend to die, but Kyle McLachlan (Orson Hodge) hopes to buck the trend and has told Marc Cherry that he wants to continue on the show.

"It was supposed to be a one-season part," he told Times Online, "but I was enjoying the work so much I floated the idea of staying on and they seemed to like it." McLachlan didn't elaborate on on Cherry's response, but he did reveal that Cherry was a fan of his work. "Marc actually told me that Twin Peaks was the show he had never forgotten seeing me on and that he always had me in the back of his mind."

McLachlan said that Cherry had not seen Show-girls, the 1995 critically-panned film starring McLachlan, so they watched it and McLachlan did a commentary for Cherry. "Marc Cherry had never seen it, so recently we had a special screening and he asked me if I would do a commentary, which I was happy to do. It is so terrible that [Show-girls] succeeds in a number of ways, but not in any of the intended ways."

Reflecting on his career, he said being cast in David Lynch's Dune was a "reality check" in his life. "All I'd done was a Shakespeare Festival in Seattle, then I went to New York to work on stage. The next thing I knew a casting agent had left a message on my answerphone and I was flown out to Los Angeles to meet David. We were both from the north west, we got on great and went from there."
