Guess who's coming to Wisteria Lane?

Earlier this week we asked you if you're at all excited about the upcoming "five year gap" season of Desperate Housewives. With Gale Harold joining the cast and most of the women of Wisteria Lane taking a new direction in life, the show is hoping for a creative revival. It turns out there just may be another reason to get excited over Marc Cherry's campy soap once more.

According to OK! magazine (I do love the names Brits come up for their celebrity mags) the fabulous Lily Tomlin will be joining the Desperate Housewives cast this season.

La Tomlin can even rock a protest sign

The OK! scoop makes it sounds like Tomlin's character will be involved in some sort of medical mystery, which has me pretty excited. I might have found most of season three pretty dull, but the mystery involving Valerie Mahaffey and Dixie Carter completely made me forget all my frustrations with the show.

I've been feeling cautiously optimistic about the time jump; my problem with Desperate Housewives has been that the stories not involving Bree have all felt very repetitive, with characters repeating the same mistakes over and over without learning. The time jump could fix that problem... but now I've got something else to look forward to.

Does Tomlin's rumored role get you more interested in the upcoming Desperate Housewives season? For those of you feeling cynical about revisiting Wisteria Lane, does this change that sentiment?
