ABC cancelled "Eastwick" back in November when it was doing its cull of the new fall slate. It declined to order more episodes than the 13 it had initially asked for, but perhaps that's not quite the end of the story.

It certainly wasn't the end of the storyline. The show had only aired 11 of the 13 before ABC announced that "Ugly Betty" would be taking over its Wednesday night time-slot, and so the final two remain unseen.

Fans hope that they'll finally see airtime over the summer when prime time is a little less competitive. They certainly have cause to hope, as that's exactly what ABC did with a few of its previous shows - "Eli Stone" and "Dirty Sexy Money," for example.

Many said that was a smart move for the network, which won a bit of premiere-style buzz for the shows' return and filled up a few sprawling summer hours with something for which it had already paid.

So there's certainly hope those two episodes will see the light of, well, evening. But the show's creators offered little hope that the show's complex ongoing storylines will come to any kind of conclusion.

Executive producer Maggie Friedman said they were in the middle of producing the last episodes of the show's initial order when they found out the network wasn't ordering more, so they didn't have a chance to write in any kind of closure.

"We're smack in the middle of several insanely juicy stories," she said, "and so we do not get a chance to wrap things up in a bow."
