HOW DESPERATE CAN THE
HOUSEWIVES GET?
One of the hardest working actresses on television is moving to Wisteria Lane.
Drea De Matteo, the Emmy winning actress best known for her roles as Adriana La Cerva on the HBO series The Sopranos, as Joey Tribbiani’s sister Gina on the short-lived NBC series Joey, and most recently for her role as Wendy Case on the hit FX cable series Sons of Anarchy, has signed a lease and is moving to Wisteria Lane.Matteo will be portraying the head of a new Italian family, the Vitale’s who move to the block for the upcoming sixth season of Desperate Housewives. Also joining her will be landscaping architect husband Nick and neurotic son Dominic, whose roles have not yet been cast.
Not to poo-poo the idea before the season even airs, it already sounds like the Vitale Family is going to be similar to the Soprano Family? Well, only time will tell, but I’ll be glad to see Drea De Matteo joining the cast. She is one of my favorite television actress, and should be a great compliment to the rest of the ladies on the show, since the departure of Nicolette Sheridan’s character Edie Britt. And she was one of my favorites on the show.
On a side note, Kathryn Joosten and Lily Tomlin are in talks to play Karen McCluskey and her sister, Roberta, in a possible Desperate Housewives spin-off.
I would definitely watch that show!
Until Next Time!
