Dana Delany Joins Desperate Housewives

Another redhead moves into Wisteria Lane!

Here is your sneak peek of Dana Delany as one of the new Desperate Housewives. She’ll play Katherine, a conservative Republican with an all-American wholesomeness and a mastery of passive aggressiveness.

Dana, now 51, originally read for the role of Bree back in the day but turned down creator Marc Cherry three times. BIG MISTAKE! Hopefully Dana will get her chance at making a breakthrough comeback…

Firefly‘s Nathan Fillion will play the strapping, tight-pants-wearing younger husband of Delany‘s character. Lyndsy Fonseca (How I Met Your Mother) will play the new couple’s hell-raising daughter.

The Season 4 Premiere episode “Now You Know” of Desperate Housewives airs on Sunday, Sept. 30 @ 9PM ET/PT on ABC.
