Johnny Depp Up For New Role
Johnny Depp, movie star and former star of 21 Jump Street, is possibly up for a new role. Sid and Marty Krofft are interested in getting Johnny Depp to play Witchiepoo in a new movie. The movie will be an updated version of their series H.R. Pufnstuf. It’s slated to be in movie theaters in 2011. Billie Hayes, the actress from the original series, thinks Johnny would be perfect for the role. She thinks Johnny is “off-the-wall and has experience in wearing wild makeup”.
What’s interesting about this is that Johnny might be playing a woman. I’m not sure if the character is going to change into a man or if he’s playing a woman in the movie. If he is, he has experience in dressing as a woman. He dressed as a woman for an episode of 21 Jump Street. He looked pretty good dressed up as a woman. LOL! I’m not familiar with the series, but I’m sure that Johnny will do a great job because he is a really good actor.
90210 Star Out!
There’s casting news on 90210. Dustin Milligan (Ethan) has been released from the show. The powers that be have decided to write him out after the season is over. He was let go after completing the finale in March. The writers tried to do different things with his character, but they didn’t work. One of the things was trying to pair him with Silver while she was dating Dixon. To add insult to injury for him, his departure is not even going to be addressed on the show. He is probably just going to disappear without anyone even noticing it. Dustin is hoping that the writers will give him a proper sendoff in Season two. I had a feeling that his days were numbered since he wasn’t getting much to do on the show after he and Naomi broke up. He also didn’t get much to do when he was paired up with Annie. Their relationship didn’t last long on the show. That’s not a good sign since she is one of the lead characters on the show.
Former Desperate Housewives Characters To Return
There are two characters returning to Desperate Housewives. One is a major character from the first two seasons. The character will return in the last five minutes of the season finale on May 17th. Marc Cherry is keeping the identity hush hush. I wonder if it’s John (the gardener) or Zack (Mike’s son). They were both on for the first two seasons. The kids have been aged so it can’t be any of them. I doubt it will be the Applewhites since they haven’t been mentioned since they moved from Wisteria Lane.
The other character returning to Desperate Housewives is Julie (Andrea Bowen) who is Susan’s daughter. She will be needed for her mother after what Dave is going to be doing to her. I think he might end up hurting her son and Julie will probably come back to comfort her.

I am glad they are bringing Julie back to DH, I liked her. I hope it is John the gardener :), however Zach being Mike’s son would fit into the plot in a way.
I love Johnny! I’m really looking forward to seeing him play the Mad Hatter. Now that will be interesting to have him play a woman. Hmm I’m going to have to track down 21 Jump Street because I’m not remembering him dressing in drag but I think he could pull it off.
I feel bad for Dustin. I just hope they don’t get rid of Jessica since I love Silver. They can get rid of Shenae since I just can’t stand Annie. I think someone dies in the finale. I wonder if they’ll just kill him off instead which would be better than having him fade away.
I would love it if John came back since I of course love Jesse. I saw something but I can’t find where I saw it where it said something about him doing a British soap. I think I’ll see if I can find it to see if it’s true. The whole Zack thing was all left up in the air so maybe it will be him and John. The fingers are crossed.
Thank you for reading my post, Cindy. I am glad that Julie will be back too. I wonder if John will go after Gaby again since she mentioned to Tom how Carlos works a lot. It will be deja vu if she hooks up with him again.
Thank you for stopping by soapgirl. I really do appreciate it. I love Johnny Depp too. I have been a fan of his since I saw him on 21 Jump Street. I think he is such a great actor. I think it was season 2 when he had to dress up as a woman for a case.
That’s great if he did get a job on another soap. It’s too bad that he can’t get one on an American soap. I think it might be John or Zack too. Zack was on the show for about two seasons.
