There’s been a lot of buzz around this ABC promo showing former “Lost” cast member Dominic Monaghan foosballing it up with Courtney Cox, Patrick Dempsey and Ed O’Neill:

The rumors began, naturally, with Charlie coming back to “Lost.” Yet Michael Ausiello from EW.com reported that there’s a reason ABC is using Dominic in the bit, and it’s not because he’s coming back to the island.

“The real reason Monaghan is featured in that cheeky spot is because he’s actually joining the cast of another hour-long ABC drama series as a full-time series regular,” Michael wrote.

I, of course, (and should) have a one-track mind and immediately think “OMG, CHARLIE IS COMING TO DH!”

What do you guys think? Michael was sworn to secrecy by ABC, but when I hear “hour-long ABC drama,” I just can’t imagine any other option. “Brothers and Sisters”? “Castle”? “Dirty Sexy Money”? “Private Practice”?

I don’t know, I feel like I could see a pretty adorable romance between Dominic and Julie Mayer. (That is, if we ever get to see her again.)

Also, should I mention that I cried for two weeks straight when Charlie was killed off “Lost” and would be the happiest little blogger in the world if he came to “Desperate Housewives”? Color me biased, but….

A few of the ladies were at the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards on Friday, where “Desperate Housewives” picked up an award for outstanding comedy series.

Yay for the gay-friendly ‘wives!

We haven’t seen Brenda Strong and Andrea Bowen in sooooooo long. This made me realize how much I really, really missed Julie. Ugh, she look so good! I don’t even think I love the dress that much (and I certainly don’t love the shoes), but she looks good in both!

Andrew Bowen told Kristin Dos Santos from E! Online that she and the rest of the cast were only expecting to do seven seasons — until Marc Cherry announced that he was thinking about doing nine.

“It kind of surprised all of us that he’s contemplating going nine, but if our fans support it, it’s a great thing. If our only problem is should we do more seasons, then you don’t really have a problem. If we can keep it really entertaining and make good television, why not go as long as possible?”

…that doesn’t mean the ladies (and man) of Desperate Housewives didn’t look purty whilst they were losing out to 30 Rock (and didn’t I kinda call that?) for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series at the 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Here, kids, for your enjoyment: a buncha photos from the night.

Eva Longoria Parker looks pheNOMenal in this dress. I love the ruffling at the waist, though I’m worried it’ll start more “is she or isn’t she?” rumors on the ‘nets. The clutch is gorgeous and the peachy color is beautiful on her skin. Can we imagine what that’d look like on my never-seen-sun skin? It takes a special lady to pull this off. The only thing I’m NOT in love with is the top. It looks a little like she stuck her arms through some ripped pantyhose, then had an expensive designer sew it to a dress. Oh, and Tony’s lookin’ sharp, too. (Even though he always seems to be looking in the opposite direction in every photo he’s ever shot with Eva. Have you noticed this?)

Andrea Bowen was one of my favorite characters in Desperate Housewives. She played the part of Julie Mayer, Susan’s daughter, so well and their relationship fascinated me. It definitely was not your typical mother/daughter type of set up. They took turns taking care of each other, with Julie doing the most “taking care of”.

TV Guide has found out that Andrea Bowen’s character will indeed be back. I have no idea if it’s just for one episode or many, but I will take what they’ll give us.

Here’s what they had to say about Julie:

I loved the relationship between Susan and her daughter on Desperate Housewives. Any chance Julie will come back to visit? — Becky
Mickey: Yes, Julie (still played by Andrea Bowen) will be back, and wait until you meet her boyfriend. I mean, her professor. I mean, her boyfriend and her professor.

Julie dating a professor. Nice!

As soon as I find out what episode this is exactly, I will let you know.

Supposedly Teri Hatcher was absolutely devastated when she found out that her TV daughter Julie, played by Andrea Bowen, would not be apart of the regular cast next season. When we saw the five year flash forward at the end, there was no Julie in sight, but only some impostor, I mean other man, kissing Susan. We saw no Julie and no Maynard. Hmmmmm….

Hatcher said that she thinks leaving Julie out of next season’s shows is a big mistake. She told USA Today, “She (Bowen) is somebody who I have done the majority of my work with for four years. I’ve watched her grow up from 13 to 18, get a driver’s license. I can’t begin to tell you the depths of how impossibly hard it is for me to think about her not being there.

This is a totally producer/network decision that I have nothing to do with, and I guess I can go out on a limb and say I don’t support.”

Well, she’s not the only one that isn’t happy about that decision. I LOVE Andrea Bowen and her character Julie. I think there is still more that can be done with her character. I mean, what about that mystery guy Susan was kissing? What does Julie think of that? And she has to be apart of the story when ever we find out where the heck Mike is anyway.

I hope that the producers change their minds and see that Julie is such a part of the show and that she will be greatly missed in Season 5.

On March 15th, Andrea Bowen attended the Backstage Creations At The College Television Awards. I like how she spiced up her outfit with some bright red shoes.

I’m not sure why, but in some of the pictures she is wearing a necklace and in others she is not. I wonder if she received it as a gift there.

Aren’t those cute jeans? I like the hearts on the bum.
