Family Ties alumna Justine Bateman, who last season enjoyed a short, pot-stirring run on Men in Trees, now is heading to a different ABC serial. As reported by ET, Jason's sis is joining Desperate Housewives for a multi-episode stint, playing "a hip artist living with Gabby and Carlos."

What do you think, will Justine play spoiler to a Gablos reunion, as she did with Trees' Marin and Jack?

DH returns with fresh episodes April 13. Bateman's first airdate has not been revealed.
