Gale Harold, who recently guest starred on two episodes of Grey's Anatomy and led the cast of the short-lived Vanished, has landed a recurring role on ABC's Desperate Housewives, reports TV Guide. The 39-year-old actor from Atlanta, Georgia, is set to first appear on the show in the second part of May 18 two-hour season finale. TV Guide says that Harold "will play a quick-witted, charming and buttoned-down suburbanite." Slight spoilers ahead!
TV Guide doesn't reveal more about the role yet. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Harold ends up playing Ken, a character Kristin from E! Online recently described as a perfect and straight-laced husband type, who will have something to do with next season's major mystery. Other spoilers sources believe that Ken is part of the possible time jump in the future the show may go through and that the 40-year-old character may turn out to be the new husband of one of the current housewives.
For more information on Desperate Housewives, the time jump and Harold's role, keep an eye on our Spoilers Anonymous column.

I love Gale Harold! Glad he's coming back to TV after being so uncerimoniously dumped from his last series, VANISHED! I couldn't believe they killed the lead off midway through the show! Welcome to Wisteria Lane, Gale!!

I can't believe you didn't bring him up in Queer as Folk.
And being thrown away in Vanished was a great thing for him, that show was a mess.

Oh man, I have to watch Desperate Housewives now? I love Gale Harold and I'll watch anything he's in, but DH is so not my style. Oh well, it is now. Anything for Gale!

I'm so glad to hear this! I think Gale is a great actor, and that he was wasted on Vanished. I hope this is a great role for him. I can't wait to see him!
