'Thatd be fun': Kyle MacLachlan on potential reprise of his character in Desperate Housewives reboot
Washington DC [US], July 7 (ANI): Actor Kyle MacLachlan expressed his interest in reprising his role of Orson Hodge from the American comedy series 'Desperate Housewives', reported People. The actor, 66, spoke exclusively to People about possibly reprising his Desperate Housewives role as Orson Hodge. A reimagined version of the hit series -- which ran on ABC from 2004 to 2012 -- is currently in the works, as per the outlet. "That'd be fun. I mean, Wisteria Lane still exists on the Universal back lot. It's part of the tour!" said Kyle. The actor clarified that he would consider the role as if it were a brand-new opportunity. "If for Desperate Housewives, if that were to come back, and if they would even want me to come back -- I'd have to look at the role and kind of get a sense of what they're thinking about for the character," he explained as quoted by People. He adds, "So I would approach it like if it were something completely new and weigh how I feel about the role, and the character, and the process and everything, you know? I would treat it like it were, you know, something else [new] that had come to me and make my judgment on that," as quoted by People. 'The Sex and the City' actor shared that he went through a similar process when deciding to reprise his role as Special Agent Dale Cooper in the cult-favorite 'Twin Peaks', which initially ran from 1990 to 1991 and aired a third season in 2017. "The thing about returning to Twin Peaks was that [creator] David [Lynch] decided to not really pick it up from where we left off and to create a completely different journey for the character," he says, adding, "And I got to do a couple [of] different characters in the reboot," as quoted by People. 'Desperate Housewives' aired for eight seasons on ABC from October 3, 2004, until May 13, 2012, for a total of 180 episodes. The series starred Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria in the lead roles. (ANI)

‘Pakistan spy' Jyoti Malhotra visited Kerala on govt invitation, reveals RTI; state tourism min reacts
Jyoti Malhotra, a 33-year-old vlogger from Haryana recently arrested on charges of espionage for Pakistan, had earlier visited Kerala on an official invitation from the state government, said an RTI (Right to Information) reply that has now surfaced. Malhotra was part of a tourism promotion campaign organised by the Kerala Tourism Department, which funded a group of social media influencers to enhance the state's digital visibility as a travel destination, ANI reported. The RTI response confirms that Malhotra's travel, stay, and itinerary expenses were fully covered by the department during her visit, according to a report by ANI. As per official records, Jyoti Malhotra toured Kannur, Kozhikode, Kochi, Alappuzha, and Munnar between 2024 and 2025 under the government's influencer collaboration initiative. Her participation was listed alongside several other digital creators active between January 2024 and May 2025. Investigations have since revealed that Malhotra had travelled to Pakistan multiple times and had established contacts with officials from Pakistani intelligence agencies, including personnel from the Pakistan High Commission. One such official was later expelled by India after their association came to light, ANI reported. Kerala Tourism Minister P A Mohammed Riyas on Sunday said that the Left government in the state and its ministers would never "knowingly" invite spies here and provide them with all facilities. Riyas remarked in response to reporters' queries regarding BJP leader K Surendran's allegation that social media influencer Jyoti Malhotra, who was arrested in May on suspicion of spying for Pakistan, was invited to Kerala to promote tourism in the state. Surendran, in a post on social media platform 'X', also referred to an RTI reply confirming such an invitation to Malhotra and questioned why 'a Pak-linked spy's trip' was sponsored by Kerala Tourism. One of her earlier viral clips shows her dressed in a traditional Kerala sari while attending a Theyyam performance in Kannur, highlighting her role in cultural and tourism-focused content creation. Malhotra is among 12 individuals arrested in a coordinated crackdown across Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, targeting a suspected spy network accused of using Indian social media influencers to gather intelligence. The Left government in the state and its ministers would never 'knowingly' invite spies here. Her YouTube channel, Travel with Jo, features 487 videos, including travel content from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Thailand. Key Takeaways Government initiatives can unintentionally invite scrutiny when involving individuals with controversial backgrounds. The importance of thorough vetting in influencer collaborations for public campaigns. Understanding the implications of social media influencers in national security contexts.
