It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Julie on Desperate Housewives, but actress Andrea Bowen is returning as a series regular on Wisteria Lane for the upcoming season.

ABC is only confirming that Andrea Bowen will appear on the September 27 season premiere of Desperate Housewives, but EW.com has an inside source saying the actress will return to the series full time.

Andrea Bowen was last a full time cast member at the end of season 4, but then the series flashed foward and we only saw her briefly when she returned from college to say she was dating a college professor (Steven Weber).
