Teri Hatcher Joins ABC Family Series ‘Jane By Design’ As Recurring

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher has booked the first acting gig after the end of the ABC dramedy. Hatcher is staying within the ABC family with a recurring role on ABC Family’s Jane By Design. Hatcher will be playing the lead character Jane’s (Erica Dasher) long-lost mother for four episodes, the first of which will air on June 19. Hatcher also will make her directorial debut by directing an episode of Jane By Design, which returns to originals on June 5.\ Jane By Design follows Jane Quimby (Dasher), a quirky teen with an eclectic chic fashion sense, who lands a job at a hip fashion house when they mistake her for an adult, working for demanding, but talented creative director Gray Chandler Murray (Andie MacDowell). Hatcher is the latest Desperate housewife to line up a new gig. Vanessa Williams co-stars in the ABC drama pilot 666 Park Ave while Eva Longoria is executive producing Marc Cherry’s ABC pilot Devious Maids and a dating reality series for NBC. And Brenda Strong, who has been voicing Mary Alice Young on the show, co-stars in TNT’s upcoming Dallas reboot.

  • Great casting. Hatcher and Dasher look like they could be mother and daughter. Even Terri’s hair in the picture you picked looks like Dasher’s hair style on the show.

  • Well,good for Teri. She’s a good actress & one of my favorites. Smart move by that show. They are lucky to have her. I wish her only the best as I do her former DH castmates on their future projects/roles.

  • Unfortunately Teri Hatcher has just cut her hair short and let it go really curly so that’s gonna mess things up!
