Eva Longoria reveals her true feelings around Desperate Housewives revival
Eva Longoria has opened up on the chances of a Desperate Housewives reboot, 14 years after the original show ended.
Eva Longoria would be "the first to sign up" for a Desperate Housewives reboot.
The 51-year-old actress, who played Gabrielle Solis on the hit show, which ran from 2004 to 2012, has made secret that she'd love to reprise her role in a revival, but she isn't sure that a potential comeback would be able to capture the same spirit as the original.
She told Extra: "I would be the first to sign up. [But] I don’t know if we could say or do the things today that we said and did back then, 20 years.”
Early last year, Eva insisted she was unsure what more her the show's bosses could do with her alter ego if she did return to Wisteria Lane.
Eva told Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen: "I can't sleep with any more people on that street.
"I have slept with every person on the street, as did Nicolette Sheridan (who played Edie Britt)."
The For Greater Glory actress explained that the show's creator Marc Cherry would need "the most convincing" to come on board for a potential reboot as he felt that the show had run its course when it came to an end.
She added: "He feels like we've exhausted the characters."
Eva has also suggested "cancel culture" would have ended the original show.
Back in 2023, she told Entertainment Tonight: "I love that show so much, I miss my time on the show. I miss Gabby. I miss being Gabby; she was so fun, and she said and did things I wish I could say and do. I just remember pinching myself.
"I remember reading the script and going, 'Well, this will never go,' because it was so different. It wasn't a comedy and it wasn't a drama.
"Nobody knew what we were and when we did the first table read, it was like goosebumps because it was the entire cast and it was the first time we all had met.
"I don't know if we could do the show today, I think we'd get cancelled. I mean, not cancelled on TV but like cancelled in culture because it was so groundbreaking and we said and did so many things that were shocking at the time. I don't know where these ladies would be now in their life."
