Polly Bergen, who played Lynette’s dead beat mom, is making a return to Desperate Housewives. A source tells TV Guide that she will reprise her role for at least two more episodes.

The last time we saw Lynette’s mother, she was headed back to go live with her gay ex-husband. It will be interesting to see how she steps back into the show. Will it involve one of the Scavo children? We will have to wait and see!

There’s a rumor going around that Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry wants to offer Sarah Palin a part in the show. A source told the New York post that Cherry is,“very hot to trot to have her appear on the season-five finale. Marc is highly enamored of Sarah and sees her as the ultimate guest star [playing] a similar version of herself.”

Also, supposedly the idea went over well with the Disney executives who see a potential blockbuster in ratings. They saw what she did for Saturday Night Live’s ratings.

Okay, I call total bull on this story. For real? Sarah Palin? I don’t even think she would say yes to something like that. What do you think?

This coming Sunday, November 2nd, Desperate Housewives 5.06 “There’s Always a Woman” airs. What’s the theme? How about “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”. Isn’t that the truth? Especially on Wisteria Lane!

This episode is full of the women being surprised by their men, or asking some questions about what exactly they are up to.

Lynette is fairly certain that Tom is having an affair. A client of Carlos’ makes an offer they seemingly can’t refuse, but a discovery of some sort leaves Gaby second guessing.

Susan broke up with Jackson in last week’s episode, so continuing with her bad decisions when it comes to men, she decides to surprise Jackson. Needless to say, she ends up being the surprised one.

Bree and Katherine’s bond is growing even closer and Mrs. McCluskey has enlisted the help of her sister (played by Lily Tomlin) to dig up some dirt on Edie’s husband Dave Williams.

Here are a couple of sneak peeks:

Next Sunday, November 2nd, is an all new Desperate Housewives episode. It’s 5.06 “There’s Always a Woman”.

What comes to mind when you hear that title? And who all is it going to apply to…there’s always a woman? Hmmm…the preview sure looked funny.

We see that the cougar, Gail O’Grady, is making her guest appearance in this episode and boy does it look like she is stirring up some trouble! Carlos gives a woman an orgasm as he is giving her a massage. Wow, he must be GOOD! I’ve had 2 professional massages and well….they were good, but not that good.

I’m not sure why Susan is screaming in the shower. With her, you just never know. And then there’s Bree who’s on the phone saying “you slept with him?” while Orson stands by looking guilty.

They said this was a naughty episode. When it comes to Desperate Housewives, the naughtier the better. Check out the promo.

Update (10/17):“According to reports, the Desperate Housewives star is improving nicely from his motorcycle accident earlier this week. At the moment Gale is still under observation at County-USC in downtown Los Angeles, but he will be moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center near Beverly Hills for further treatment when a bed becomes available. According to reports, he’s expected to recover, which is fancy talk for “everything is gonna be all right.” Despite Harold’s injury and ongoing recovery, no major Desperate Housewives production disruptions are expected.” Source: E! Online

Update: Marc Cherry has said, “We’re hearing he’s going to be fine, but he’s going to be recovering for a couple of weeks.” He also said that Gale was shooting scenes for the show this week and at least one scene has been written due to the accident.

E! Online has reported that Gale Harold, who plays Susan’s lover on Desperate Housewives, was injured in a motorcycle accident yesterday, October 14th.

Hospital sources confirmed that he was in the neurosurgical intensive care unit at County-USC Medical Center in stable condition. A representative for the actor said, “We can confirm that Gale Harold was in a motorcycle accident yesterday, Oct 14. He has fractured his shoulder and is under observation to assess any possible further injuries. Everyone is hopeful for a full recovery. No one else was injured in the accident.”

Let’s hope there are no more injuries and that he has a speedy recovery. I’ll keep you updated with any new information.

Oh my goodness! I love Justine Bateman. I was a huge fan of “Family Ties” and watched it faithfully as a child. Yes, I know, I am aging myself here but I don’t give a flip. It’s Justine Bateman!

ET broke the news that Justine Bateman will star in several episodes of Desperate Housewives. She will play a hip artist living with Gabby and Carlos. The date she will star is TBD.

What’s your guess as to why she is staying in their home? Surrogate mother maybe. That’s my first guess, but who knows.
