Yo, Mallory! Housewives Ties Up Bateman

Justine Bateman by Alexandra Wyman/ WireImage.com

Family Ties alumna Justine Bateman, who last season enjoyed a short, pot-stirring run on Men in Trees, now is heading to a different ABC serial. As reported by ET, Jason's sis is joining Desperate Housewives for a multi-episode stint, playing "a hip artist living with Gabby and Carlos."

What do you think, will Justine play spoiler to a Gablos reunion, as she did with Trees' Marin and Jack?

DH returns with fresh episodes April 13. Bateman's first airdate has not been revealed.

April 13th, right? Not 14th? I think the 14th would be Dancing With The Housewives.

I'm sure she'll blow everyone on Wisteria Lane. Away. She'll blow them away. It means something different if you don't say away. (God I miss Arrested Development.)

Yes, an Arrested Development fan!!!! She's great. I'll watch anything her or her Brother is in. They are both huge talents!

Why would she need to be living with Gaby and Carlos? Oh we will soon find out. Anyway, I also miss Arrested Development big sniff. I hope the Arrested Development movie is a go.

She will be a great addition to the cast. She needs to be used more in high quality shows like this. Wish DH was back now!!!!!

I think she will have to live with them because they are flat broke and they need rent money. Their millions blew away in the tornado. I wonder if a hot artist living in the house will cause some trouble between Carlos and Gabby??

i bet she's a nurse to take care of blind carlos at home.

Maybe she finds a key piece of paper from that file that blew away! (It was a file, right? Gad, it's been so long!)

Is that just a really bad picture or does she always look like that?

I actually might start watching DH again. Justine was fabulous on Men In Trees and looking great.

Justine Bateman was a cutie when she was on Family Ties but now she is anorexic-looking. She needs to style her hair and wear some makeup. I hope she fixes herself up a little for DH.
