In January we got our first look at Buffyverse and former Dexter star Julie Benz on the ABC drama Desperate Housewives (who has since settled into her very juicy new role) and today, courtesy of After Elton, we get our first look at another newcomer to the show — John Barrowman. Barrowman, who is known for his role of Captain Jack Harkness on the BBC America series Torchwood, comes to Wisteria Lane later on this season as a baddie named Patrick. Here is one of the new promo pics of John making his appearance on DH:

We know all you John Barrowman fans have been very keyed up about the news that one of our all time favorites would be joining the cast of Desperate Housewives for six episodes as the baddie in the Angie (Drea de Matteo) storyline. We’re still a ways off from seeing John’s first episode, but we’re mighty pleased to exclusively present you the very first pictures ABC has released of John as Patrick. The woman John is with is played by Emma Crawford and if I were her character, I’d be mighty careful about who I let in my house. Something tells me that despite those very pretty flowers, Patarick is up to no good. Anyone have any guesses as to what is going on here?

Wee!! I love John Barrowman … I think he will make a great addition to the Desperate Housewives cast, even if he’s only gonna be on for a short spell. After the jump, check out a couple more promo photos from Barrowman‘s debut on DH …

In early February we heard from Julie Benz herself about the on-screen romance she would be participating in on the ABC drama Desperate Housewives … as you may recall, Benz revealed that she would be sparking a love affair with Dana Delany‘s character on the show. Last night, Benz and Delany got down to biz on DH and really heated things up on Wisteria Lane:

Desperate Housewives is set to have its first lesbian relationship. Katherine Mayfair is seduced by former stripper Robin Gallagher in the U.S. show’s new series. The scenes come after a dream sequence in which Katherine, played by actress Dana Delany, is left stunned when new housemate Robin strips off after spilling maple syrup on her bra. Robin, played by Julie Benz, wipes it off with her finger, after which Katherine steps forward and goes to unhook her bra. On this occasion the steamy scenes are simply a dream and Katherine wakes up with a start. But later in the episode the dreams become reality when the pair end up naked together in bed. Benz, who recently joined the show, said filming the scenes was fun. ‘Dana’s a great kisser,’ she said. ‘Joining the cast of Desperate Housewives has been nothing short of amazing. ‘The girls are all so fun to work with and have welcomed me with open arms. I’m so thrilled that there is such a buzz about my character’s relationship with Dana’s. ‘It’s really beautiful and was so fun to shoot.’

I have to admit, I did not watch last night’s ep but I’m SO thrilled that Julie Benz has been given such a prominent guest spot on Desperate Housewives. I’m not sure I believe her role will stand the test of time on the series but thus far, it’s been a pretty meaty role. After the jump, check out a few screencaps from last night’s ep featuring Benz and Delany gettin’ all cozy together — the caps may be spoilery if you’ve not yet watched the ep so be warned …

Last Sunday, Julie Benz made her debut on the ABC drama Desperate Housewives as Robin — a “stripper with a heart of gold” — but it was also revealed of her character that she is also a lesbian. In a new interview with the blog After Ellen, Benz talks about her sexy new role on DH and what her arrival on the show means for Dana Delany‘s character … as they spark up a new same-sex romance. Here are excerpts from Julie‘s After Ellen interview:

Julie Benz has an eclectic resume, but most AfterEllen.com readers know her as Darla on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel or, most recently, as Rita on Dexter. Her latest role, as of last week’s episode of Desperate Housewives is as a stripper named Robin who befriends Susan (Teri Hatcher) before quitting her job and moving in with her. We found out this week that Benz’s character is a lesbian who will fall for Katherine Mayfair (played by Dana Delaney). As of now, Benz isn’t sure how much longer Robin will be around Wisteria Lane, but she’s hoping it’ll be for more than just one kiss.

AfterEllen.com: How did you get the gig on Desperate Housewives? Have you always liked the show?
Julie Benz: I’ve always been a huge fan of the show — I’ve seen every episode. Pretty much the way this went down was, literally the day after the Dexter season finale aired, I got a phone call asking if this was something I’d be interested in doing, and I was like “Sure! Of course!” And it was funny because my manager was like, “You’re going to be playing a stripper.” And I said, “OK!” And he said, “And you’ll be a lesbian.” “OK!” He was like “OK!” To me, it’s like, how different from Rita on Dexter! And what a fun way to come on to a show. I think people were expecting my character to break up somebody’s marriage, and here I’ll have this great romance with one of the women on the show. That interested me as well.

AE: So is Robin a lesbian? Is that how she would identify herself?
JB: Yes.

AE: What about Katherine? Is that going to be something difficult for her as a straight woman to think of herself as bisexual? Is she confused?
JB: I don’t know a whole lot about the storyline, but from what I do know, it is going to be a part of Katherine’s journey to figure out. “What is this?” Katherine has had quite a history of dating men that haven’t turned out to be very good for her. I think the question you have to ask yourself in real life is, if you connect with somebody, why let gender, religion or race get in the way. I think that’s the struggle, the challenge that she has.

AE: How do you feel about playing a lesbian? You haven’t played one before, have you?
JB: No, I haven’t. You know, I would say Darla on Angel was pretty much asexual. I didn’t have any love scenes or anything but there was some insinuations of stuff between Darla and Willow.

AE: I’m sure some Angel fans could definitely read into the subtext.
JB: For me, it’s an interesting character. Robin is just a really wonderful spirit. It just so happens she’s a lesbian. She’s a really wonderful spirit. She’s got a good soul and a good heart and that’s what they said to me about the character. And she’s not going to come in and wreck someone’s marriage on the show. It’s been done before.

AE: Desperate Housewives has previously had a lesbian kiss and people thought it was a ratings stunt. Do you think this will be different because there will be a relationship developing out of it?
JB: Yeah it is different because there is a relationship developing out of it.

AE: Well that’s good to hear, especially for you because you don’t know how long you’ll be on the show for.
JB: Yeah, I don’t know. I hope it lasts forever! It’s a great place to go to work. I’ve admired the work on the show for so long. I’m a huge fan and it’s been great. I love the actresses and they’re ones who’ve inspired me in my own work. To be able to go to work everyday and work with these women, it’s amazing. I would love it to last forever. I think it’s a great story, too. Katherine’s journey is very interesting and it’s current in what we’ve seen with recent years with older women discovering that they’re gay later in life. Like with Meredith Baxter recently — coming out publicly. It’s a very current topic. It’s an interesting thing to explore.

Man, I think I need to start watching Desperate Housewives. I love that Julie is so gung-ho about this role. I’m so happy she mentioned her work on Angel because I think she played the character of Darla very well, very omnisexual. It wasn’t so much that Darla didn’t have a single sexual side, it’s that she had many sexual sides. I sincerely hope that Julie‘s stint on DH turns out to be something more substantial and not gimmicky. She is an amazing actress … I love to see her bring some that Sapphic sexiness to Wisteria Lane in a real way.

Earlier this month we got our first look at Julie Benz in her new role as a “stripper with a heart of gold” on ABC‘s Desperate Housewives and today we get to see a few more photos of Julie on DH. As you can see, Julie must wear a shimmery top so that the audience can be clued in to her profession even tho she is wearing clothing:

She’s so pretty … I just love her. In the earlier promo images, Benz was paired up with Terri Hatcher‘s DH character. These new promo photos pair her up with another Desperate Housewife. After the jump, check out those photos and watch a video promo for Julie Benz‘s first appearance on Desperate Housewives this coming Sunday night …

Earlier this month we learned that former Buffyverse actress Julie Benz would be joining the cast of Desperate Housewives on ABC in the wake of the SHOCKING events that took place on the season 4 finale of Dexter last month. Today we get our FIRST LOOK at Benz in her new Desperate role. As you may recall when we learned of her new role on DH, we were told that Julie Benz will play a “stripper with a heart of gold” on the show … which, apparently, looks like this:

She’s Alive! On January 31st, actress Julie Benz follows up her untimely DEXTER demise with the first of what Michael Ausiello calls a handful of episodes on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES when Susan befriends a stripper (played by Julie Benz) and takes her under her wing.

Julie Benz looks fantastic in everything she does, I have no doubt that she will kick ass in this new role on Desperate Housewives. After the jump, check out a few more photos of Benz on DH …

Great news for fans of actress Julie Benz of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Dexter fame … I’m happy to pass along the news that she’s got a new job these days. Now, this report will come as a bit of spoiler for those of you who have yet to see the shocking season 4 finale ep of Dexter (which aired last month on Showtime) but it is happy news for Benz supporters (like me). Let’s just say that Julie will not be appearing in season 5 of Dexter … which is fine because, according to Entertainment Weekly, she scored a new role on the ABC hit drama Desperate Housewives:

Julie Benz has bounced back from her shocking Dexter departure with a major role on Desperate Housewives. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Benz — whose character, Rita, succumbed to the most horrific bubble bath in television history in last month’s Dexter finale — has been cast in the recurring role of Debbie, a stripper with a heart of gold and a Masters degree in education. When Susan offers her the chance to transition into a more legitimate career, Deb jumps at it. Benz is booked for at least three episodes, the first of which is scheduled to air in February.

Yay!! This is amazing news, I’m very pleased to know that Julie scored a new gig so quickly. As some of you may recall, I was able to speak directly with Julie Benz about the circumstances that occurred in the season 4 finale of Dexter (a conversation that you can listen to in full HERE) and she mentioned that it was her hope that her next job would be on a comedy. Desperate Housewives is technically a drama but I suppose it’s a funny drama. It’s a shame that Julie will only be on DH for 3 eps because her addition to the show is enough to make me start watching … perhaps her stint will turn into something more, therefore winning at least one new viewer. We shall see.
