...accent will sound more than vaguely familiar. But when the new season of Desperate Housewives premieres on Sept. 27 - with Drea de Matteo as Angie Bolen, a transplanted New Yorker with a family and a secret - it'll be a far cry from Mob-filled New Jersey, where de Matteo drew raves as Adriana La Cerva in The Sopranos.
