Is there a thread for people to post about the current episodes?

John Barrowman has reportedly joined the cast of Desperate Housewives.

According to the Daily Mail, Barrowman has signed up to appear in several episodes of the drama.

The Torchwood star is said to be playing a villain in the show, but the storylines are currently being kept secret.

He will allegedly begin filming his scenes in March so that they can be broadcast in the US this spring.

Barrowman first revealed that he had met with the show's producers last summer.

Julie Benz will stick around Wisteria Lane a little longer: The Dexter actress' stay on Desperate Housewives has been extended.

Benz, who made her Housewives debut on Jan. 31, was originally slated to appear in three episodes but will now appear in an undetermined number of additional episodes. Executive producer Bob Daily told Zap2it that her character, a former stripper named Robin, will be getting very close with one of the housewives.

"Robin will be getting into a friendship," he said. "That maybe turns into more than a friendship with Katherine [Dana Delany]. Katherine has had kind of a rough year and I think she's open to new experiences."

Benz also hinted about her character's romantic future. "There's some very sexy stuff that goes on," But Benz said there are speed bumps ahead as well. "Robin meets everyone on Wisteria Lane and her arrival causes trouble on the lane in an indirect manner."

HEIDI Klum is about to drop into Wisteria Lane with another of her supermodel pals.

Seal's missus, 36, will guest star in Desperate Housewives alongside Paulina Prizkova, 44.

The pair will play themselves in the episode, where they will have a run-in with Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) and Angie (Drea de Matteo).

In a change from the usual sleepy suburb setting of the show, it will take place in the bright lights of New York City.

The scenes will air on Channel 4 later this year.

Catwalk beauty Heidi has previously landed cameos in a number of programmes including Sex and the City, Spin City and How I Met Your Mother.

The executive producer of Desperate Housewives has admitted that he would like to introduce a new character to replace Edie Britt.

Edie, who was played by Nicolette Sheridan, was killed off during season five, but producer Bob Daily has now revealed that he is searching for a possible replacement.

"We agree that [Edie] was a great person to have on The Lane," he told Zap2It. "The sort of vixen troublemaker. That's a great person to have on a television show."

Daily explained that the character will appear in a few episodes this year, but may become a recurring part of the next season.

However, he added that he does not want a "Nicolette clone", saying: "I think Nicolette was so great as that sort of blonde bombshell. I think we'd probably not go in that direction again just because we've had that."

Heidi Klum has reportedly agreed to a guest appearance on Desperate Housewives.

The supermodel will play herself in an episode which is set in New York, according to The Mail On Sunday.

Klum, 36, will appear alongside model Paulina Porizkova, 44, who both run into characters Gaby Solis, played by Eva Longoria, and Angie Bolen, played by Drea de Matteo.

The scenes will air next month in the US and later this year in the UK.

Torchwood and Doctor Who star John Barrowman revealed earlier this month that he will guest star in several episodes.

Following up on his posing for Playgirl, Levi Johnston reportedly is expanding his "acting" horizons. Word has it, Sarah Palin's daughter's baby daddy will have a three-episode arc on "Desperate Housewives."

No word on a plot line, but Johnston supposedly will be a boy toy for one of the long-running series' main characters.

According to Hollywood gossip pro Janet Charlton, it all was the brainstorm of show creator Marc Cherry, a member of the Log Cabin Republicans, the gay GOP group. Cherry apparently first met Johnston -- along with the rest of the Palin clan -- at the 2008 Republican National Convention.

It's no secret Johnston has wanted to become an actor. He has been working with a drama coach in L.A. for the past few months.

• When asked about the possible "Housewives" gig, a close associate of the former Alaska governor quipped, "Well, maybe now he'll be able to get caught up with his child support payments."

Johnston's ex-girlfriend, Bristol Palin, filed a lawsuit Jan. 21 in Anchorage, seeking $1,750 a month from the father of their baby son, Tripp. In her filing, Palin claimed she was providing 100 percent of her son's care and that Johnston had paid her only $4,400 for the past year.

Johnston's attorney countered with a claim that his client had wanted to give Palin money for Tripp, but on the condition she let him see the baby, which hadn't happened.

Six seasons in and life on Wisteria Lane is as dangerous as ever. Throughout the course of Desperate Housewives we've seen a wife put a bullet in her brain, a husband bumped off by a manic medic, and a newlywed frazzled by an electricity pylon. One couple who have managed to survive the drama (thusfar) are Lynette and Tom Scavo. Recently, DS's US correspondent Sarah May caught up with Felicity Huffman and Doug Savant to find out what challenges the Scavos face in the new season.

What do you think is going to happen with Lynette and Tom this season?
Doug: "Both characters are certainly faced with moral dilemmas because she is often working for Carlos but yet trying to hide her pregnancy from him. And so both the characters are faced with some moral dilemmas right now, right off the bat. She is being very successful at her work. That has not yet caused a problem for the marriage - that she's more successful than Tom - but I can imagine it's not far behind. "
Felciity: "I don't see how Lynette is going to keep working with twins. And I don't know if Tom's going to slip in and take that job. I keep wanting something wild to happen. You know, that they decide to join the circus or they take up underwater basket weaving. Or that they actually do split up and he has another house."

What did you think when you heard Lynette would be having twins again?
Felicity:"I was concerned that it was areas that we'd been over before. I was like, 'Really? We're going back into the mum stuff?' But then I realised that even though the landscape is familiar, we actually hadn't been in that patch before - she hasn't been pregnant before and you haven't seen that thing of going, 'God, what am I going to do with two more kids?' Where it's going to go from here, I don't know. I actually have many friends who are pregnant right now who watched the first two episodes and went, 'That's my life. That's my life.'"

How's it going for Tom at college?
Doug: "Tom has gone back to school this year to study Chinese! He's still struggling - as am I! But at the same time, it's going to be a huge struggle for them going forward with this ridiculously growing family. And then Tom being in a completely new environment of college..."

Six seasons in, do you ever feel like things are getting repetitive?
Felicity: "So far it has not repeated. The format is similar - you know, you go dun-dun-dun and the mystery. But I don't think we can make a decision as to whether it's just ploughing the same old ground again. My character, that's new energy. There are places where I feel like possibly we're spinning our wheels at a table-read and then when it actually gets down to shooting, the writers have fixed it. But you can't get away from the fact that it's the same people, we live on the same street and you're now with them for six years. So it's not like a Martian is going to come down!"

What is the new family bringing to the show?
Felicity: "An accent! No, it's kind of an earthy witness protection program flavour to it. Whereas Edie's husband Dave, he would sort of kill you without you knowing. But these people will come right up to you - it seems like they'll come right up to you and slit your throat. It's a different flavour - we haven't had those kind of people on the street before."

What is lost from the show now that Edie's dead?
Felicity: "Gosh, well, I miss Nicollette - she was cool. She's just a really wonderful woman and a cool chick and I think what she brought to the show was a certain vinegar, a certain little spice. They're going to have to find that kind of thing elsewhere in a different form."

Why do you think Lynette and Tom are such a popular couple among fans?
Doug: "They have a very healthy, good relationship and I think that's one of the reasons they may never break up. It does not mean that there's not going to be trouble and there's not going to be problems or mis-steps. It is that at the end of the day there is a deep, profound love born of respect and admiration for the partner that I think will maintain that relationship for a lifetime."

Desperate Housewives continues Wednesdays at 10pm on Channel 4.

DESPERATE Housewives is set to air one of its most sizzling scenes yet when Katherine is seduced by sexy stripper Robin.
The lesbian romp sees the scantily clad blonde frolic in front of her target in just a lacy bra and knickers in the Channel 4 show.

It all starts when Katherine (Dana Delany) goes to unhook Robin's (Julie Benz) bra after accidentally spilling maple syrup on it.

The sexy scenes, however, turn out to be a dream and Katherine wakes up with a flush in her cheeks.

But Housewives' chiefs aren't silly enough to leave it there.

Later in the episode the pair end up in bed together.
