The Desperate Housewives casting agents have been rather productive since the show resumed production last week. The question is will fans be happy when hearing their casting choices? The O.C.'s Chris Carmack, The West Wing's Gary Cole and movie actress Julianne Moore will appear in the upcoming episodes of the series.Spoilers about their roles after the jump!
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello tells us that Chris Carmack will guest star as Tim. Carmack is best known for playing Luke Ward on The O.C.; on DH, he'll play one of Susan's cousins, who drops by Wisteria Lane to help the Delfinos with their taxes. To learn more about the role, check our Desperate Housewives spoilers page.
Ausiello also reports that Gary Cole was cast as Katherine Mayfair's shady ex-husband. He will first show up in the April 20 episode and is said to be recurring for the rest of the season.
Finally, according to a TV Squad reader, Access Hollywood reported today that Julianne Moore will appear in three episodes, including the season finale, as Bree's sister.
Are you happy with these casting tidbits? Personally, even if Carmack is not my favorite actor, I think he'll fit the role per what I've read of it so far. Cole will surely be able to portray Katherine's supposedly abusive ex-husband. As for Moore, she has shown her acting skills in tons of movies and has the right hair color to play the part.
UPDATE: According to Michael Ausiello, Julianne More will not appear on the show.

I don't watch Desperate Housewives, but whenever I hear that a show is adding a bunch of new characters it makes me think that it is dying.
Maybe they could bring in some cute kid, like Cousin Oliver on Brady Bunch.

MacGuffin-
Lost has been adding new characters since it's first season, including a bunch recently, and it's far from dying.

It always amazes me when people who don't watch a show still find it necessary to read a post about it and comment on it. Don't have anything better to do?

Trust me Desperate Housewives isnt dying its averaging 19 million viewers(115 million worldwide), #1 ABC Drama, The 6th most watched show in the country!!!
They aint going nowhere for a good couple of seasons ABC reiles on Desperate Housewives,Grey's Anatomy alot to bring in the big ratings which they do
I mean anyone who watches desperate housewives know that each season there's a new mystery on wysteria lane and temp. characters are added to start giving clues to the puzzle,thats always been how DH runs things and trust all these charac. will be gone after the season finale,then another mystery will arrive on Wysteria Lane
