Looks like Nicollette Sheridan might have another blonde to compete with next year. (That’s assuming she even returns to Wisteria Lane, of course.)

According to Entertainment Weekly, actress Gail O’Grady will be joining the ladies of Desperate Housewives on a recurring basis. Unfortunately for Lynette, Gail’s presence may soon become a problem for the Scavo household.

O’Grady, who will also come with a husband in tow, is rumored to be the latest cougar on TV. (After all, they are the in thing these days.) And since Bree’s son is gay, this could finally mean a storyline for one of the twins. (Well, they are like 5 years older now.)

Desperate Housewives returns to ABC on Sunday, September 28.
