Ask Stacy -- Week of February 4

DEAR STACY: Any chance Nicollette Sheridan will return to "Desperate Housewives" for an appearance since this is the show's final season? — Tamara R., Canton, Ohio

DEAR TAMARA: Of course, you're overlooking that her character, Edie Britt, was killed off. More important, though, there's almost no chance because the actress is in active litigation against show creator Marc Cherry, whom she accuses of wrongful termination and abuse. Someone raised the issue at the "Desperate Housewives" panel at the recent television critics press tour, but Cherry and team avoided it.

DEAR STACY: I heard there might be a film made of "Arrested Development." Is it true? Would love to see it. Details, please. — Dan W., Chattanooga, Tenn.

DEAR DAN: Ron Howard was recently quoted saying that creator Mitch Hurwitz "is definitely working to quickly get it all underway ... It's something he's been thinking about a lot over the previous year." Howard has indicated he'll return as narrator, and the majority of cast members have said that if things all work out, they'd love to do it.

DEAR STACY: What can you tell us about the Progressive Insurance girl, Flo? She's so bubbly and cute.

— Pat B., Oceanside, Calif.

DEAR PAT: That's funny lady Stephanie Courtney, who hails from Stony Point, N.Y., and is a member of Los Angeles' famous Groundlings improvisational and sketch comedy theater group. She's also married to Groundlings lighting and sound director Scott Kolanach. Courtney appeared in Groundlings alumnus Will Farrell's "Blades of Glory" and has done parts in other films ("For Your Consideration," "The Heartbreak Kid," etc.). Her TV credits include "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Mad Men," United States of Tara" and "House." She's also a voice-over actress.

DEAR STACY: What happened to the young man who played J.J. on "Good Times"? — Verna M., Dearborn, Mich.

DEAR VERNA: Jimmie Walker, the funny man who ruled the pop culture scene with his "Dy-no-mite!" catch phrase in the 1970s, still shows up on TV occasionally — on shows like "Scrubs," "Everybody Hates Chris" and "George Lopez." He's also done political talk radio. At 64, his primary focus is standup. He plays clubs and corporate gigs all around the country.
