According to TV Guide, the lovely Lois Smith, who portrayed Sookie’s Grandmother Adele Stackhouse in Season 1, has landed a Role in Desperate Housewives as Tom Scavo’s Mother.
After being brutally butchered in True Blood’s first season as Sookie and Jason Stackhouse’s Granny Adele, veteran actress Lois Smith is headed to Wisteria Lane. Lois, 79, will debut in Desperate Housewives’ fifth new episode as Allison Scavo, who moves in to Lynette and Tom’s home to help son Tom (Doug Savant) get over a unique case of male postpartum depression.
Love her and love both shows. Good to hear she’ll be back on the tube.
Lois, i was devastated when you left True Blood. I was hoping that you’d be the stalwart of standards. Obviously the way the series went, that went “out the window”. But anyway, from Australia, i would like to say thank you, and i’ve seen you in many many films and i have to say thanks for you being you!
take care
kind regards

I too adore Lois Smith, and wish her the best on her new show. She will always be “Adele Stackhouse” to me.
just saw her in ‘a dog year’ with jeff bridges. she is so great
Awwwwe I love Lois! I “hand raised” vote for some flashbacks of her in the future!
She was great in Twister but Lois is great in all her acting roles. See you soon! Happy you are back : )
