Gail O'GradyLooks like might have another blonde to compete with next year. (That’s assuming she even returns to Wisteria Lane, of course.)

According to Entertainment Weekly, actress Gail O’Grady will be joining the ladies of Desperate Housewives on a recurring basis. Unfortunately for Lynette, Gail’s presence may soon become a problem for the Scavo household.

O’Grady, who will also come with a husband in tow, is rumored to be the latest cougar on TV. (After all, they are the in thing these days.) And since Bree’s son is gay, this could finally mean a storyline for one of the twins. (Well, they are like 5 years older now.)

Desperate Housewives returns to ABC on Sunday, September 28.

  • Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm):  Season 2 premiere. “Summer in the Hamptons winds down as Serena and Nate carry on a cover-up scheme to make others think they’re dating.” A few choice pics sent to Gossip Girl should do the trick.
  • Prison Break (FOX, 8pm):  Season 4 premiere. “Michael is in LA looking to even the score with Gretchen for Sara’s death.” I think Gretchen should really apologize for all of last season.
  • One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm):  Season 6 premiere. “Lucas’ chosen lady meets him at the airport, while Dan’s accident proves life-threatening.” Sorry. So not caring who picks these days.
  • Raising the Bar (TNT, 10pm):  Series premiere. “Idealistic public defender Jerry Kellerman (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) fights for a man he’s sure is innocent, but holding a court is a judge who loathes Kellerman.” Gosselaar’s new hair has been generating some passionate opinions.
