Eva Longoria knows a thing or two about soapy drama. After her beginnings as cray cray Isabella on The Young and the Restless, she eventually landed on primetime’s Desperate Housewives and later served as EP for Devious Maids. Now comes word via TV Line that Eva is set to guest star on Fox’s hit sudsy Empire!

She’ll play Charlotte Frost, the formidable director of the all-powerful state gaming commission who has the power to make-or-break Lucious’ (Terrence Howard) dreams of expanding Empire’s reach to Las Vegas. But Charlotte had some villainess treachery in her arsenal … for behind the facade lies a force of darkness and corruption.

Empire returns with all new episodes of its 3rd season on March 22nd at 9PMEST/8PMCST. No word on Longoria’s first official airdate.

So, what do you think about the possibility of Eva’s Charlotte going toe to toe with Taraji P. Henson’s Cookie Lyon on upcoming episodes? Comment below!

What are you even trying to say? ? In regards to RC he needs to reign in his ego and do his job and not act like Pratt and Phelps any longer. That twitter tirade with an actor during his GH tenure was uncalled for unprofessional and childish and he killed a beloved character. Here’s hoping for a more grounded run on DAYS

She is not lol. ..she brings her own brand of humor and drama. ..Lee Daniels knows how to utilize actors. .Devious Maids was far from tired thank you very much. ..and even though canceled Telenovela was hilarious. .at least to me.

Taraji P. Henson Developing Cookie Lyon ‘Empire’ Spinoff With New First-Look Deal Via 20th Century Fox

July 23, 2020

Looks like more ‘Cookie’ is on the way, if this long bantered about Empire spinoff takes place. But, news today via Deadline makes the whole thing look more promising! Series star, Taraji P. Henson has signed a new first-look deal with 20th Century Fox where she would star and be one of the EP’s of the new show.

The show would be written by Empire EP Danny Strong with Stacy A. Littlejohn and Yolonda Lawrence, and Empire director Sanaa Hamri to take those reins again behind the camera.

Henson said in a statement on the deal: “I believe that normalizing stories around stigmatizing matters will make them more palatable for audiences to embrace. Art can change perception and I plan to develop projects that can help further the conversation. I also aim to help cultivate and establish new young talent and their stories because they are our future and deserve a voice and a platform to be heard. I’m so excited to have 20th, led by the talented Carolyn Cassidy, support me in this new endeavor!”

20th Century Fox TV president Carolyn Cassidy shared on Thursday: “We were lucky to have a front row seat to Taraji’s meteoric rise as a fixture on television through Empire. Through that relationship everyone at the company grew to appreciate her passion for storytelling and her strong creative gut instinct. With Empire finished we look forward to helping her explore stories that need to be told through her talent and advocacy.”

Empire ended its sixth and final season a bit shorter than expected due to COVID-19 shutting down production, but now Henson has a way forward to tell us more of Cookie’s story. This would just be one of the projects Henson would have under this deal with 20th Century Fox.
