"The worlds of Desperate Housewives and Lost may be colliding in upcoming episodes.

Though the Emmy Award-winning series don't seem like an ideal fit, Despies creator Marc Cherry reportedly has a novel idea to combine them.

According to E! Online, Cherry has confirmed that the sixth season of Desperate Housewives — set to air in Australia in 2010 — will include a plane crash over the housewives' street, Wisteria Lane.

Lost 's first episode began with the crash of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 on a mysterious tropical island. Well, the plane that crashes into Wisteria Lane will reportedly be an Oceanic.

"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," said an insider from ABC, the US network that broadcasts both Lost and Housewives .

Unfortunately for Lost fans, the Oceanic cameo would merely be a fun Easter egg — none of the Lost cast would show up on Desperate Housewives .

The new drama series FlashFoward also referenced Oceanic recently, when a billboard spruiking the fictional airline appeared in the background of the pilot episode."
