Dana Delaney is coming to Wisteria Lane
Did you know that actress Dana Delaney was offered (and turned down, obviously) the role of Bree THREE times? True story. But currently, she’s being offered another role altogether. Producers of “Desperate Housewives” are currently in talks with the former “China Beach” star about her signing a contract to play Bree’s sister this next season. And it sounds like the character would be a pretty juicy one:
Katherine, a former neighbor who is coming home after being away for more than a decade married to a younger man (described as “the best-looking gynecologist in town”), comes back home to Wisteria Lane along with her 17-year-old daughter — who is said to be a bit of a troublemaker herself. In keeping with the always prim and proper character of Bree herself, Katherine is also described as a conservative Republican — but one with a “mastery of passive/aggressiveness.”
I, for one, hope the deal comes through and we see Dana coming to Wisteria Lane this fall. A sister for Bree, that would be just wonderful. I’d like to see a woman who can challenge Bree’s uptight-ness, wouldn’t you?
