New Cast Member

by

Hey everyone!! So, news has been pretty scarce lately, what with the season over and them not being back in production for the next season yet. Still, I did see a story about the show on yahoo news today. It was about a new cast member. Don’t worry- no real spoilage at all.

It looks like a new face is about to move to the Lane. Drea de Matteo has signed on to join the show in its sixth season. All the report says is she’ll be playing an Italian Matriarch whose husband is in the landscaping business. Cool, huh? For those who don’t know her all that well, Drea has had a couple of high-profile parts over the years.

Her biggest was as an informant on the cable series The Sopranos. As I recall, her character got a little too chatty and ended up getting killed off. Her other big part was on the short-lived sitcom Joey. Ya know… the Friends spin off? Yeah, I didn’t watch it either. If I’m remembering correctly, she had been cast as Joey’s sister.

Recently, she’s made some headlines for a more personal reason. She just announced her engagement to country music singer Shooter Jennings. A wedding to plan and a new part on a series? This girl is going to need some serious time-management skills. Well, that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all again tomorrow. Please excuse these posts being late recently, by the way. Lots of car drama still. Hopefully, tomorrow it will all finally be straightened out. We’ll see. I leave you now with a promo for her movie Sleepwalk, which was recently released on DVD.
