Still a rumor, 'Desperate Housewives' spin-off, which reportedly will be starring Lily Tomlin and Kathryn Joosten, receives positive response from public.
Apparently people are excited about the plan of "Desperate Housewives" spin-off. ABC has not yet released an official statement about the spin-off, but public has given a lot of positive responses on the proposed project. The spin-off series, reportedly, will be starring Lily Tomlin and Kathryn Joosten as elderly sisters Karen and Roberta McCluskey.
However, the McCluskey sisters won't be living on Wisteria Lane. They will play mystery-solving sisters who investigate lightweight crimes in a place that has the same unreal suburban feel of the "Desperate Housewives" creator, Marc Cherry series.
Since the rumor has spread, sources reported that Joosten received so many supportive emails at her personal Web site that the site was shut down. Despite the positive response, a rep for ABC has denied the news, saying "there's no truth to the spin-off rumor."
"Desperate" co-star, Neal McDonough, in an appearance on "The View" last Thursday (May 14), asked the studio audience if they would be interested in seeing the spin-off. When they all raised their hands, it was a sign to producers that the series will hit the rating. Affirming what he has started, McDonough said, "I don't know too much about it but I know they're seriously talking about it and I think it would be a fun show to watch every week."
Another source close to the project said that ABC hopes to get Marc Cherry involved in the new spin-off series, which is yet to be named. "Cherry clearly knows how to write for these two actresses. And we would love to have him involved," said the source.
