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!

Snippet from a DH Article on BuddyTV:

Other attendees from the show included Dana Delany, who plays the enigmatic Katherine Mayfair. She did reveal some news regarding the Desperate Housewives guest star Gale Harold. Saying that he was “on the mend,” Delany continued: “We all hope he comes back.”

Huffman went on to say that, “From what I understand, he’s getting better and better, so it’s all good news on that front.” She also hinted that Harold is going to “throw a monkey wrench” into the upcoming storylines of Desperate Housewives, much to the anticipation of fans.
