'Desperate Housewives' for 'Lost' crossover?

An Oceanic Airlines flight featured in the series Lost may crash into Wisteria Lane on Desperate Housewives.

Housewives creator Marc Cherry recently revealed details of an upcoming cliffhanger involving a plane crash in the first half of the current season.

A source has now told E! that the aircraft is likely to end up being a fictional Oceanic Airliner from Lost.

The plot crossover has not yet been finalised, though the insider added that network executives are keen on the idea due to the series of promotional spots with casts from different ABC programmes.

"Everyone loved how well those 'ABC House' promos did last year," they explained. "We're looking at ways to find more fun crossovers between shows, and so the idea came up to have the Desperate Housewives plane be Oceanic."

Cherry previously developed a succession of Sprint advertisements, which were inspired by the soap opera tone of Desperate Housewives.
