This is a VERY short interview for Television Without Pity, taken at the NBC Upfronts. Jesse discusses his new show. Haven’t seen any videos for this. I’ll post it if I find it!

Jesse Metcalfe: Every episode we’re going to be chasing a different bad guy. Sometimes we get ‘em, sometimes we don’t, but it’s a lot of action, great writing and great characters, and also a bit of a humor to it as well. It’s basically a gritty, authentic look at the lives of U.S. Marshalls.

I assume your character is a good guy?
Metcalfe: Yes, I play Luke Watson, I’m the new guy, the kind of wet-behind-the-ears new member of the task force. I don’t have a lot of field experience, so I’m not really accepted at first, and have to work a little harder.

Is it safe to say that you’re done with Desperate Housewives for good?
Metcalfe: I think most likely I’m done with the show. You know, it’s a change of networks, a total different turn for me. This is a completely different character than what I played on Desperate Housewives, and a completely different show. This is a gritty, hard-nosed drama, and Desperate Housewives is a primetime soap. This is definitely a new, more mature turn for me, and I’m excited about the opportunity.

Is Jesse coming returning on ABC’s hit TV series Desperate Housewives?

According to TV Guide, seems like their is a major possibility for Jesse’s return, as character John Rowland.

At last week’s Desperate Housewives panel at Paley Fest, series creator Marc Cherry teased that “a major character from the first and second season comes back for the final five minutes of the [season] finale” (which airs May 17, on ABC). Cherry’s use of the phrase “from the first and second season” is clever, as there are quite a few former cast members who fall into that category. Review the likely suspects below and then in the comments section explain who you think it might be booked for an encore.

Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard): Technically, Betty only appeared in Season 2, but we have this feeling like Cherry feels as bad as we all do that Woodard’s mystery arc was so poorly written, and he might want to make it up to her. We’d love to see Betty return in a more dramatic capacity — neighborhood gossip, extortionist, all-around bad influence. You know, like Edie used to be.

John Rowland (Jesse Metcalfe): This seems to be the most likely choice (for beefcake nostalgia reasons alone), although we have to ask: Didn’t they already do the Gaby-and-John-the-Gardener reunion episode? As we recall, it went kind of terribly and he was engaged to be married at the time. Still, we’re betting it’s him and he’s a changed man, which makes him even more attractive to the ladies of the Lane.

Jesse did an interview back in October with Bollyspice.com for his film On The Other End of the Line. I know this is old now. lol. But it’s still an interesting read.

What made you decide to take the role in The Other End Of The Line?

Well, initially I liked the script, and then, of course, the opportunity to go to India. We shot the majority of the film in India – there was almost a month and a half – and it was a great experience. I also think that I like the message of the film, and it was a great opportunity for me to raise my profile internationally.
