Lifetime: Devious Maids

[Jonathan]

It was a Mexican series called, "The Disorderly Maids of the Neighbourhood."

Wow, 2 former soap stars as the leading roles of the employers. I wonder if they will go with another to round out the cast. I have to say I love the casting of Brown and Lucci.

[Jonathan]

I read that the original had 5 maids, but here they are only going with 4,

Found this post on deadline. Is it really Cat Hickland?

GREAT casting! I read this script (read for the same role) and trust me when I tell you it’s the BEST script I’ve read in YEARS. Marc Cherry just knows how to give good soaps, folks. That is all.

This is awesome news. Here's the show's IMDb page and all of the related articles:

Maya from All My Children would be cute on this show. I really hope this gets picked up and we get to see Susan weekly in primetime. A glossy ABC primetime soapy dramedy, this is totally up her alley. It's her Dynasty/Desperate Housewives/Ugly Betty all rolled into one. Wish Nolan Miller could dress her.

tons of women already signed on. Im waiting to see who will be cast as the male leads. Id love OLTLs Jerry verDorn as Lucci's onscreen husband

[SFK]

I think William Devane would also make for a good onscreen husband for a Lucci character. Like Mike Nader's Dimitri, Bill Devane is time enough for those Erica types, he won't take her [!@#$%^&*].

Special guest appearances by Phyllis Diller as her wacky overbearing mother and Robin Strasser as her even crazier-assed older sister... Mr. Mark Cherry is a man who could make those campy pop culture dreams happen.

[Jonathan]

I think William Devane is too obvious a choice.

[SFK]

Other wishful casting:

-Joan Collins or Stephanie Beacham as her English cousin

-The Knots Landing ladies in various guest roles: Joan van Ark, Michele Lee, Donna Mills

-BarBara Luna as one of the maids' mother/grandmother

-Cameron Mathison as far away from this show as possible

-DAVID CANARY!

-Sonia Braga

-Rita/Chita

Who would you suggest?

[Jonathan]

Wow, David Canary would be awesome on this show.

I'd actually like Lucci to be paired with someone like Mark Derwin, but I think he's busy.

Maybe Tom Verica.

Roselyn Sanchez was on ATWT as Pilar Domingo from 1996-1997.

This makes me SO happy! @MichaelFairman @Susan_Lucci Lands Plum Role in New Primetime Pilot, Devious Maids!: [...] bit.ly/zLJZjC

[SFK]

She looks like Susan, maybe she'll get a chance to play her daughter.

[Cheap21]

I hope the sets are amazing. We need big splashy mansions and expensive cars

Oh and whomever Lucci's husband is, she needs to be cheating on him with a much younger man. Maybe one of the maids can have a hot nephew/brother/son. Maybe Jordi Vilasuso. Actually Id go younger

[SFK]

Totally! I wanna see Susie pushing a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, and when she doesn't feel like driving, being pushed in a Rolls Royce Ghost.
