UPDATE: First word was not promising, when we told you things don’t look too good for the supposedly recuperating but “majorly injured” Desperate Housewives star Gale Harold to be returning to work soon.

But things may not be quite as grim as we reported.

Here’s the original scoop from Wisteria Lane involving motorcycle accident victim Harold, who’s recovery may not be as speedy as people think.

How so? Well…

“He’s really very majorly injured,” remarked a source close to both Harold and the Desperate Housewives set. “I don’t believe he’ll be coming back.”

When we contacted Desperate Housewives central, there was no comment regarding the too sad news. However, other sources close to the production (whom creator Marc Cherry just surprised the merde outta by announcing—and which we broke—that he wants to stay around for seasons eight and nine), told us, “We have an open door for Gale” to return.

Harold’s rep insisted there’s nothing to be concerned with regarding her client: “He is fine. Your source is wrong,” the publicist stated. When asked to elaborate on exactly what Harold’s condition is and whether or not the supernice stud is headed back to Wisteria Lane, she refused comment.

I hear that door ain’t gonna be swingin’ for some time. Heal fast, Gale, we miss ya!
