Brian Austin Green on 'Desperate Housewives' makes us desperately happy

Brian-Austin-GreenImage Credit: Jean-Paul Aussenard/WireImage.comMaybe that’s just because in our heart of hearts, we’ll always love David Silver. (Yes, even more than Brandon and Dylan. Because who needs floppy hair and fiveheads when you’ve got a bad boy?) But we couldn’t be more excited to learn that Brian Austin Green is indeed in talks for a recurring role on Desperate Housewives. (A source confirmed the news, first reported in Deadline, to EW.) Especially when we saw the description of Green’s character: “The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum will play Keith, a new contractor and charming playboy who turns up the heat on Wisteria Lane.”

You know what that means: If we learned anything from Housewives‘ first season, it’s that the ABC series enjoys showing its blue-collar workers shirtless. (Hello Jesse Metcalfe’s underage gardener!) Not a difficult fact to digest, when you consider how foxy Green was on the tragically short-lived Sarah Connor Chronicles. So, yes, the teenage 90210 fan in me is crossing her fingers, hoping Green stumbles onto Wisteria Lane so I can start scribbling “Kate + Keith” with gelly roll pens in my Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper. (Back off Donna…and Megan.) And luckily, if things get too hot, we know how to cool ourselves down: by popping in our One Stop Carnival cassette tapes!

Anyone else excited about the prospect of Green on Desperate? Remember, the new season will also bring us Emmy snubee Vanessa L. Williams!

    I’m super excited about this! He’s lookin tasty and would definitely spice things up on the show!

    OMG, 90210-Wisteria Lane clusterf-u-c-k! Yes, please! With Vanessa Williams on next year, this is like a salute to all my favorite soapy shows of yesteryear (RIP BETTY). Let’s go ahead and have Megan on too, as long as she doesn’t open her mouth.

  • Anne

    SWEET !!!!!

  • Scooter

    He almost looks like he could play the brother of Mike Delfino.

  • Shannon

    I’ve always had a soft spot for Brian. Great news!!

  • Summer

    How has DH been the past few seasons? The last season I watched was the one that ended with the five year time leap, and suddenly I’m wondering if I should be watching again – more for Vanessa than BAG, mind you.

    • Zach

      Worth it. It was better last year than the season before the gap, if I remember correctly. Nothing will compare to the intensity and brilliance of the first season, but I still find the show highly entertaining and highly underrated. Screw Modern Family.

  • Thom

    is it too much to hope this will heat up the *gay* storylines on the show? Lee and his — is it his ex now? And maybe Bree’s son? I’m not good with the names.

  • jay

    havent watched this past season yet…. is brie’s son still on? could BAG be his BF??? thatd be hot

    THIS!! This is totally the best line of her article!
    I’m there with her!

  • Cindy

    The shower scene in Sarah Connor Chronicles made me a permanent BAG fan(very sexy!!). I haven’t watched DH since Season 1 but I will check it out because of him.

  • Melody

    I don’t watch Desperate Housewives, but I might have to check it out to check him out. He is so HOT!!

  • Crystal

    He was terrific on Sarah Conner Chronicles.

  • tomm

    He does need to show that he’s not a teen anymore. He has said he doesnt get recognized on the street.

    BTW: I would have liked Ian Ziering and carzy Dave in Season 5.

    • tomm

      Opps, I meant I think Ian Z. would have been good as “Dave” last season. One who was nuts and tried to kill…

      • Miss Talk

        Oh please, Steve Sanders won’t kill a fly. He’s too nice! Remember his goofy smile? Yes, exactly. Geez, I’m nostalgic now :(

  • tori

    Love Brian, yes to everything with him on it or in it!!!!

  • Sheryl L.

    Honestly, he is way hotter now than he was on 90210. Bring it DH!
