Pretty great news for a former Ugly Betty star: Ana Ortiz is poised to return to ABC, having been cast in Marc Cherry’s pilot Devious Maids.

Dania Ramirez is also set to star in the pilot; Ortiz plays Marisol, a woman with a college degree and a secret reason for wanting to work in the house-cleaning industry.
