Exclusive: 'Desperate Housewives' recruits 'Sopranos' vet Drea de Matteo
Jun 29, 2009, 06:06 PM | by Michael Ausiello



Afraid Desperate Housewives would lose its edge without Nicolette Sheridan's Edie around? You can fuhgettaboutit.

Emmy-winning Sopranos heroine Drea de Matteo is joining the cast as Wisteria Lane's newest vixenish housewife, sources confirm to me exclusively.

De Matteo, who will be a series regular, will play the matriarch of a new Italian family. Casting is underway for her landscape designer husband and their tightly wound son.

Thoughts? IMHO, this is the second coolest piece of casting of the 2009-10 season (behind Katee Sackhoff joining 24, natch).

I love her, but I just hope that just because it's an Italian family there's no mob.

This sounds like it could be great, but I'm always nervous when they add new characters/families on this show.

LOL! Yeah, this could be great or it could be a disaster like locking the kid in the basement all season!

Is she old enough to be a matriarch?

I don't see why not. She is 37. That is passable. She played a mother to a 19-year-old on that god awful show "Joey."
