Exclusive: 'Desperate Housewives' Welcomes Gail O'Grady!
by Michael Ausiello

There's a cougar loose on Wisteria Lane! And not the Kim Bauer kind!
The Kim Cattrall kind!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the sublime Gail O'Grady
(American Dreams, NYPD Blue) is joining the cast of Desperate
Housewives as the cul-de-sac's newest troublemaker.
As I teased in this week's episode of Ausiello TV, her character --
which will appear on a recurring basis -- was originally conceived as
a Mrs. Robinson-esque seductress who sets her sights on one of
Lynette's rapidly aged twin terrors. I say originally because it's
entirely possible some of those plans have changed.
One thing I know for sure: O'Grady's alter ego will be married.
Producers are currently casting the role of her hubby.
Anyone know what Tom Verica's up to?

Boo. (They don't need her, IMO.)

Didn't they just hire Neal McDonough? Do we know for sure that she
won't be playing his wife?

Nicolette Sheridan is alreadly the weak link. Why are they doubling her?

Was Gail O'Grady also the oldest sister on "Eight is Enough"? Or am I
thinking of someone else?

You're thinking of someone else, the late Lani O'Grady

That was Lani O'Grady, and she's dead.
