Vanessa Williams is to join the cast of Desperate Housewives when it returns for its next season – OH MY FREAKIN’ GOODNESS!!! 😀

I can’t explain how pant-wettingly excited I am about this! I know it’s not the most dignified way to express my excitement, but it’s a little late for regrets now! 😉

Although she’s almost certainly going in as a new character (supposedly as a bit of  a troublemaker *squee!!* and with a storyline closely connected to Paul), my partner, Greg, made a very awesome suggestion – wouldn’t it be awesome if her character, Wilhelmina, actually moved to Wisteria Lane once Ugly Betty finishes?!

(Erk – did I actually just insinuate that I’m now looking forward to Ugly Betty finishing? That feels weird, as I really really am not, but I now kinda am, simply for the whole Vanessa Williams thing!!)

I was starting to feel that Desperate Housewives was starting to flag a little, but suddenly I’m the most excited that I’ve been in a long time about what’s coming up on the ol’ telly box.

The first spat simply HAS to be between Susan and her character, even just typing those last few words has me in hysterics at the thought of what an amazingly funny and catty scene that would be 🙂 What do you reckon? Feel free to comment below (though please post no spoilers!).

Roll on the next season!
