Desperate Housewives

Good morning, everyone!! Hope you’re all doing well and ready for some news! There’s quite a few things to mention today.

First off…. the latest in “As the Contract Negotiations Stall”, otherwise known as the SAG/Producers negotiations. And what a Soap it’s turned out to be. As you may remember, SAG presented a counter-offer to the Producers final offer and talks broke off. Well, now the producers agreed to meet with SAG at the union’s request to hear whatever they want to say. There is a positive to this, however. No one is talking a walkout and some productions that were put on hold for fear of a strike just might start up again any time now. Is this thing ever going to get resolved? I feel like I’m watching a never-ending tennis match…

In a much more decisive move, guess who just got cast? The Scavo kids. The announcement came late yesterday. Joshua Moore is going to play oldest kid Parker, while the juvie-bound twins will be played by Charles and Max Carver. Youngest Scavo Penny will be played by Kendall Applegate. No word yet on who gets to be Maynard Delfino and Benjamin Hodge. Also up in the air is that adorable kid we saw in Gabby’s future. Word is she may be recast as some viewers felt she looked to old for the part. I’ll let you know as soon as any info comes out.

As for the other cast…. Eva Longoria has been making quite a few headlines lately. The rumor mill is saying she’s pregnant, but Eva denies this. She says any extra pounds are thanks to her part on Housewives. Apparently, Gabby really let herself go. While she’s at it, Eva also got a haircut recently to add to the frumpy new look for her character.

Finally…. I give you the Emmy Nominees! Polly Bergen (more on her tomorrow) and Kathryn Joosten both got nominated in the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series category. The costume designers and hair stylists also got nominated for awards this year for the episode “In Buddy’s Eyes”, so there’s four in total. Sorry to see the main ladies aren’t nominated anywhere, but what can ya do? Well, I’m out of here. Take care and see ya next time!
