Eva Longoria reveals why she hasn't watched Desperate Housewives and why a reboot isn't happening
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has never watched the ABC series, and she thinks a reboot is unlikely because show creator Marc Cherry feels like he "fully" explored the characters at the time.
Eva Longoria has never watched Desperate Housewives, and she has revealed the surprising reason she couldn't take part in a reboot.
The 51-year-old star shot to global fame portraying Gabrielle Solis in the ABC TV series from 2004 to 2012 - which earned her two Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Golden Globe nomination - but, unlike millions of viewers, she hasn't ever seen her portrayal on screen.
Speaking on the Dinner's On Me podcast with Jesse Tyler Ferguson, she said: "Everybody's re-watching it. It was like number two the other day on the streaming.
"I keep getting like notifications like, 'Do you want to watch Housewives?' I go, 'No, I don't. I'm fine. I made it."
Eva confirmed she didn't ever watch the show in "the first round" and hasn't watched it recently either.
Eva is often asked about a revival, but insisted show creator Marc Cherry isn't interested in bringing Wisteria Lane back to life, because the characters were "fully" explored at the time.
She added: "The number one question is, 'You going to do a reboot? You going to do a reboot?' Because of all the reboots [out currently]. But Marc never wants to.
"He's like, you know, this was a time where we did 24 episodes a year for a decade. There's none of this six-to eight bull*** you know? So Marc's like, 'We fully mined the characters.' "
