Desperate Housewives Casting For New Characters

at .

Dana Delany is out and Vanessa Williams is in. This much we know about season seven of Desperate Housewives.

Thanks to a new ABC press release, though, viewers can now prepare to welcome a trio of new characters to Wisteria Lane in the fall. They'll include...

  • Maxine: An elderly lady of at least 60 years of age. She's Mike and Susan’s new neighbor in their apartment building. She possesses an unusual job.
  • Beth: A quirky, thirtysomething woman who was Paul Young’s prison pen pal and is now his wife.
  • Keith: Handsome, sexy, 30-year-old contractor.

** Desperate Housewives is also recasting the role of Penny Scavo, Tom and Lynette’s 12-year-old daughter.

Any suggestions on who should take on any of these roles?
