Former The O.C. star Mischa Barton looks set to be returning to TV screens - the actress is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Ugly Betty.

Barton left the hit teen series in 2006 and went on to land a handful of film roles including 2007's Closing the Ring and the upcoming Assassination of a High School President with Bruce Willis.

However Barton looks ready to return to her TV roots with a five-episode guest appearance in the fashion sitcom, following in the footsteps of stars including Lindsay Lohan, Victoria Beckham and Naomi Campbell - who have all appeared on the program.

A source tells British newspaper The London Paper, "Mischa's career is at a standstill, so this might be great for her. It's not a done deal yet, but talks continue."
