Emily Bergl in “Desperate Housewives”

Emily Bergl (Francie Jarvis on Gilmore Girls) has been cast for a recurring role in Desperate Housewives! Emily will be playing the role of Beth, a ‘fragile soul who married Paul while he was behind bars.’ She comes to Wisteria Lane with a big secret.

Though Ausiello only has an “insider” scoop, Emily herself revealed to me:

“@gilmorenews I can neither confirm nor deny the #desperatehousewives rumors. Wink.”

I will be doing an interview with Emily Bergl soon - do you have any questions you’d like me to ask her?

As a result of the unfortunate issues this week, I have had to start my Gilmore Girls fansite afresh. But no worries, I’ll still be keeping you up to date as per normal. I may even hope one day to get back all that content you’ve come to know and love.

For now, change your RSS feeds to subscribe to GilmoreNews.com/feed – the Twitter feed is still twitter.com/gilmorenews

I will do my best to bring you lots of updates, like you’re used to. I may not get that 2-3 per day for another couple of weeks. Technically I’m still on maternity leave! But the site will slowly move back to life – starting, of course, with a new design!
