Series creator Marc Cherry told us previously that he was looking for a new troublemaker to fill the void left by the demise of Nicollette Sheridan’s Edie. And seriously, could he — or anyone — do any better than the actress formerly known as Ugly Betty‘s queen of mean, Wilhelmina?
Didn’t think so.
Though other deets are at the moment scarce, TV Guide Magazine (which first broke the news) reports that her conniving character won’t be at the center of next season’s big mystery.
So what do you think, folks? This sounds so good to me, it borders on too good to be true.










Epic success. Bring on the catfights!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME !!!! That’s my girl! Great job, Marc Cherry! I’m so happy, yay!
No scoop. This is all over the internet already.
so is your mom’s vajajay
I will be watching…it was also rumored at one time a while ago that Whitney Houston was being considered.
man, i’m so glad whitney houston wasn’t coming or that it wasn’t true. she can’t sing her toosh off…but act?? not tonight!
Now I have a reason to watch that butt awful show. Vannessa is a goddess.
Me too..I had all but given up on DH until Mark brought in John Barrowman my favorite Torchwood man. Now he is upping the ante once again by bringing the Diva of all Divas to Wisteria Lane. Gotta love that Cherry!
