Wisteria Lane is welcoming back one of its own this fall: Original Desperate Housewives star Andrea Bowen has signed on to reprise her role as Susan’s eldest spawn, Julie.
Although ABC would only confirm that Bowen is set to appear in the Sept. 27 season premiere, a Housewives insider tells me that the actress is returning as a series regular.
Bowen vanished from Housewives at the end of season 4, a casualty of the show’s four-year flash forward. She briefly returned last season when Julie, on break from college, announced that she was dating her 40-year-old professor Lloyd (Steven Weber). It’s not clear if he’ll be accompanying her back home, but I’m guessing not.
Reaction to Julie’s reappearance? Sound off below!










PLEASE don’t let that be Julie under the veil…
I hope she took some acting lessons on her year off. Then she might be a good addition story wise…
I think it is great that they are bringing back her character. I hope it is more than just 1 episode.
Hahaha@ “please don’t let that be Julie under the veil.” That cracked me up
. That would be sooo ridiculous.
I hadn’t even noticed she was missing until you said she is coming back !
I can just hear the Julie/Susan scenes now… “I love Mike so much and even though he’s (married to Katherine or my husband) I can’t help but thinking something’s between us. Oh, could you check on MJ upstairs, please?”
I predict that when Julie asks Susan: “Where’s Edie?”, Susan replies: “With the Pharaohs.”.
People … let’s not be ridiculous. Mike has a son with Julie’s MOTHER, Susan. It is not her under the veil. I liked Julie’s character. Welcome back, Andrea. She did great guest work last season on “Ghost Whisperer,” btw.
I’m glad to hear that she’s coming back, just please don’t…
A) Have Steven Weber coming back with her, and…
B) Have her be the one under the veil.
This is good news, though.
wasn’t it 5 years, instead of 4?
wasn’t it 5 years, instead of 4?
I hope they can use Julie as much as they did when she was friends with Zach and Dylan and took part in story lines ….otherwise it seemed like a waste of Andreas Bowens time. They should bring Zach back….after all he hasn’t met his brother MJ yet.
this show is still on?
What about the other kids?? Where are Zach and Danielle etc??
What ever happened to Tom’s love child??? She just disappeared too
