'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)

Jungkook's solo stans demand him to leave BTS and go solo; ARMY speaks out after protest truck stationed outside HYBE
BTS is a global phenomenon, but beyond the group's collective fame, RM (Kim Namjoon), Jin (Kim Seokjin), Suga (Min Yoongi), J-Hope (Jung Hoseok), Jimin (Park Jimin), V (Kim Taehyung), and Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) each enjoy massive solo followings. However, solo stans, fans who focus on one member to the exclusion of the rest, can sometimes cross the line. And lately, Jungkook, the group's maknae (youngest member), has been on the receiving end of that toxicity. With Jin gearing up for a solo world tour following J-Hope's and the other members' staying active through livestreams and social media updates, Jungkook and Suga have remained relatively quiet. This silence hasn't gone down well with some of Jungkook's solo fans, who have been pressuring him to launch his own world tour since his military discharge. Even at his release on June 12, some fans showed up with banners reading 'JK Solo World Tour.' While a solo tour is definitely on Jungkook's radar, the pressure from fans has taken a concerning turn. Protest trucks were recently stationed outside HYBE's building, demanding the agency 'free Jungkook,' sparking backlash from the wider BTS fandom. Many ARMYs have called out this behaviour, arguing that genuine support means respecting Jungkook's pace, not pushing him into the spotlight on someone else's timeline. Jungkook's solo stans send protest trucks at HYBE Jungkook released his solo album Golden in November 2023, just a month before beginning his mandatory military service. During the album's promotions, the BTS vocalist openly shared his desire to go on a solo world tour someday but also emphasised that he wanted to expand his discography before taking that step. Despite this, some of his solo stans have been relentlessly pressuring him to begin a world tour immediately. What's more concerning is that a portion of these fans have gone so far as to suggest that Jungkook should leave BTS altogether and pursue a full-time solo career. On July 6, protest trucks bearing messages like 'Let's go higher,' 'Go solo,' 'Go solo tour,' and 'Free Jungkook' were stationed outside the HYBE building, demanding action from the agency. Photos of the same have now gone viral, sparking disgust among the group's fandom. Let's GO HIGHERJungkook solo world tour soonTrucks in front of Hybe🔥 ARMYs slam Jungkook's solo stans Many ARMYs have spoken out against the protest, calling it invasive and disrespectful to Jungkook's personal and artistic choices. Fans argue that true support means giving him space, not forcing demands masked as encouragement. One ARMY wrote, "Oh God! This is so embarrassing! "Go solo," "Free Jungkook"?! Please STOP this nonsense! He will never leave the group. He loves & cherishes the group career as much as or even more than his solo career. He himself has said this in his life. So please learn to respect his choices!" "Y'all can't really respect him?? He'll do whatever he wants in his life and whenever he wants! Pathetic fr," another wrote. Is Jungkook pursuing solo activities? Jungkook has not revealed any official plans for his solo activities yet, but it's likely he will prioritise BTS' highly anticipated spring 2026 comeback and the group's expected world tour before pursuing solo endeavours.
