Confidential understands Delta - currently in the US on album promotion duties - has been recruited by producers to play the estranged Australian cousin of Marissa, Mischa Barton, on the wildly popular series.
The singer's mother and manager Lee Goodrem told Confidential yesterday the 21-year-old was on the look-out for a role that could catapult her into the Hollywood acting market.
"We have been looking at some scripts but as yet nothing has been confirmed," she said.
"Music is a priority but there's always other things happening."
Indeed there is.

As Goodrem's star continues to rise, the role in The OC would see her "it girl" status develop even further - and without even having to drop the ocker Aussie accent.
Mama Goodrem said her daughter was making ground as she attempted to raise her profile in the US through radio spots and promotion of her hit Aussie album Mistaken Identity.
"It's a big place but she's doing very well," she said.
While Delta Goodrem is yet to become a household name in the States, she appeared earlier this year in Fox drama North Shore, which centred around the staff and guests of a fictional resort in Hawaii.
In another development that could see Goodrem propel herself onto the scene in Tinseltown, she is also being mooted to play a castaway on a new series of Lost.
