Ausiello has reported two major “Desperate Housewives” stories over the past two days.

First the good news, Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty) joins the cast as a new trouble making neighbor. Side note, there was a rumor/spoiler going around it was a whole family that moved onto the block at the end of the season (as they do with every season), but only Paul Young showed up this time. Could Vanessa’s character be his new wife?

Second the . . . good news? Kyle MacLachlan (Orson) is leaving the show, but may appear on one or two final episodes next season. His character Orson did walk out on Bree at the end of this season. Frankly I’ve loathed Orson for a long time now, so I am not unhappy to see him go!
