Sookie’s grandmother will be resurrected! No, not as a vampire - Lois Smith (79) has been cast in the seventh season of Desperate Housewives as Allison, Tom’s (Doug Savant) mother. Tom will be going through a bout of sympathetic post-natal depression with his wife Lynette (Felicity Huffman), so it’s his mum to the rescue! Lois’ character in True Blood, Adele, was the victim of a serial killer in season 1; we’re hoping that Desperate Housewives will be a little kinder to her!photo credit: trueblood.net
