Exclusive: John Schneider joins 'Desperate Housewives' as B.A.G.'s pop

It looks like things are getting serious between Desperate Housewives and Brian Austin Green: The ABC soap is giving his newbie character a family.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Housewives boss Marc Cherry has tapped John Schneider to play the father of Green’s Bree-crushing contractor, Keith.

I’m told Schneider will appear in multiple episodes, beginning with this season’s seventh.

Housewives kicks off its seventh season on Sept. 26.

    Ok, so if Schneider and Austin Green are going to Desperate Housewives then… can Smallville borrow Teri Hatcher for ONE episode? That would be AWESOME

        I actually think of Brian Austin Green as a Terminator actor, rather than a Smallville actor, as he was only in 3 episodes of Smallville but was in most of the first and the whole second season of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

      Oh man, so agree with you! Teri in Smallville as villain would be awesome ;)

      WORD! They could bring back Dean Cain’s villain from season 7 (he didn’t die, after all) and it could be a Lois and Clark reunion! That would be AWESOME.

        cute idea, except it would take the focus off the main Lois and Clark relationship. Does anyone see Teri Hatcher, star of her own show, guesting on a lower profile show where the popular opinion is Erica Durance’s Lois is better than hers?

      Brian Austin Green was magnificent as Derek Reese and will forever be a Terminator more than Christian Bale in my opinion.

      If they make another film, I hope he guest stars somehow. I know the TV show is different from the films but somehow please.

      Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles fans pray the show will return sometime soon. We are still fighting for our show.

      Just goes to show how solid an actor Brian Austin Green has become for Smallville fans to also acknowledge his talent. I’m happy for him.

      I want to see him back on Smallville but most importantly on TSCC.

      If only a film about The Reese Brothers was made.

      Desperate Housewives you are lucky to have him. I hope he makes new hardcore fans from this show too.

      JS is a legend and looking forward to father and son relationship. I hope it somehow involves Paul’s character too.

      I so agree :) John was so nasty and sexy during his recent stint on Leverage. It was kind of nice to see that side of him. I was already excited to have BAG on DH now to add JS, oy vey!!!

    GEEZ. 2 more actors from a Superman-universe shows on Desperate Housewives. They’ve built up quite the little collection for themselves over the years.

    I doubt Clark Kent would be pleased to find out Metallo’s his step brother, lol.

      Hahaha so true, what’s the point of fighting each other when their step brothers.

      I really wish Brian Austin Green could come back as Metallo though for the final season of Smallville.

      Brian Austin Green must be doing a great job as Keith Watson for Desperate Housewives to create a family around him exciting stuff can’t wait.

      His father is pretty hot too.
