Looks like another new neighbours are making their way to Wisteria Lane this season. Wicked Local broke the news earlier today that show is looking for two African-American women to portray the roles of Althea and her mother. You can read the complete casting call below.
Desperate Housewives on ABC is currently casting for two characters:
Althea: A smart, sophisticated African-American woman in her early 30s who left her restaurant business in Chicago to return to her roots and family on Wisteria Lane.
They are also casting for an African-American woman in her mid 50s to portray Althea’s mother.

What is with Marc Cherry’s affinity for Chicago. Most of his main players were from that city.
I dunno. It’s so repetitive…but I guess it’s just a plan and it’s still in works and that they’ll change their roots. They’ve already done it with Betty, Katherine and Bob & Lee.
