Andrea Bowen and Maiara Walsh Return to Desperate Housewives

by POPSUGAR Entertainment 6

The most recent Desperate Housewives casting news focused on the adults, specifically Drea de Matteo as a new "vixenish" housewife. But this week, there's news about Wisteria Lane's younger set:

• Susan Mayer's daughter is coming home! Andrea Bowen is set to reprise her role as Julie Mayer, appearing for sure in the show's season six premiere and reportedly returning as a regular all year long. Julie was last seen dating her kind of creepy, thrice-married professor and telling her mother she never wanted to get married. What do you think could be bringing her back to Wisteria Lane?
• Meanwhile, Gaby's not done being tormented by her niece yet: Maiara Walsh will be a full-time cast member in the show's sixth season. I suspected this news would be coming after Ana tormented Gaby and wooed the Scavo boys in the season finale, but now it's official. I like what we've seen of Ana so far, but I hope she doesn't become just another Wisteria Lane troublemaker. Maybe she and Julie will make a good team?

Are you glad to see these familiar faces coming back to Desperate Housewives?
