Countess Luann Guest Stars | Murdoch Mysteries Season 18

An all-time fan favourite housewife de Lesseps has spun her Bravo notoriety into a successful outside career, most notably a cabaret act. Before she takes to the Vogue stage fans of the singer behind the saucy singles Money Can’t Buy You Class, Chic C’est la Vie, Girl Code and Feeling Jovani and can see her in action in a guest starring role on the venerable CBC series Murdoch Mysteries.

In the April 7 episode de Lesseps plays Noelle Victoria, the spirited wife of Toronto’s mayor who manages to steal the spotlight at a photo-op for the grand opening of a new hydroelectric substation.

“We’re constantly exploring ways to find new audiences for Murdoch Mysteries. Tapping into the Bravo universe, and the massive cultural impact of the Real Housewives franchise, was an obvious choice,” said Christina Jennings, chairman and president of Murdoch Mysteries production company Shaftesbury, told Postmedia in a email. “We are thrilled to have had Luann join us this season. Fans of Luann’s will be impressed by her performance which sees her take on something completely different in this scripted role.”
