After years on 'The Sopranos,' Drea de Matteo is exactly how you'd imagine her to be -- brutally honest and totally cryptic. But we did manage to get a few (possible) secrets out of her about her new 'Desperate Housewives' character.In season 6 (Sundays, 9PM ET on ABC), de Matteo plays Angie Vitale, the latest mysterious neighbor to move onto Wisteria Lane. But, of course, Angie won't be playing nice -- according to the star, she's there to "shake sh** up."
Watch our video interview with de Matteo to hear all about her plans for 'Desperate,' why you'll never see her do another 'Joey' and how her new character is possibly connected to Adriana, her whacked 'Sopranos' alter ego.

Drea glad to see you back on TV. I love Desperate Housewives and you should fit right in. Good luck with the housewives.

She couldn't cut it as an actress on Soprano's, wher they finally killed her off - She couldn't cut it on Sons of Anarchy (basically cause she's was uglier then an "old Katey Segal" - Tou expect her to fit it to Desperate Housewives - She's too ugly and a terrible actress - D.H. has "jumped the shark" with this addition

I agree. She does not "fit". D.H. needs to play out some of the story lines in place that we have not been cheated out of rather than bring this anarchy into the mix. Disappointing.

WTF are you talking about? She is definitely not ugly, nor is she a bad actress.

Never watched Desperate Housewives. I will only now watch the show now that Drea has been added to the cast. I have also never seen "Frank", however what an ugly venimous individual so filled with hatred and negativity glad I do not know you. GOOD FOR YOU DREA YOU SHOW THEM!!

She is a wonderful actress. I hope her family brings a new kind of drama to Wisteria Lane. I also wanted to comment that she's also beautiful.

Drea's a pretty good actress & sexy to boot! I never cared for Desperate Housewives (fell asleep on the premiere years ago & never gave it another shot) but I may have to check it out now that Drea's on. Glad to see her back & how cool would it be if she were Adrianna in the WPP? Especially if there's a Soprano's movie in the future.
