Eva Longoria is hooked on the idea of another hit show and she’s ready to put her apron back on and return to Wisteria Lane, RadarOnline.com has learned.
She has resorted to begging Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry to resurrect the series promising she “would be the first to sign up” if he pulls the trigger on a reboot.
Longoria, 49, played suburban siren Gabrielle Solis on the Emmy-winning hit, which ran from 2002 to 2012.
Insiders said her former fellow cast members Marcia Cross, 52, Felicity Huffman, 61, Teri Hatcher, 59
And Nicollette Sheridan, 60, are also desperate to see the show relaunch and revive their careers.
“Eva is by far the youngest of the pack and has kept a busy career going,” the source spilled, noting the Flamin’
Hot director stars in a new Apple TV+ series, Land of Women, and has a guest spot on the Hulu hit Only Murders in the Building.
“Marcia, Teri, Nicollette and Felicity have seen their acting careers fall off a cliff since Desperate Housewives ended,” a spy claimed.
“And of course, Felicity had other problems since going to jail in the college admissions scandal, which further stunted her career.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the actress served 11 days in prison in 2019 for her involvement in the “Operation Varsity Blues” scandal that gripped the nation.
She did her time after paying $15k to mastermind William “Rick” Singer for the results of her daughter’s SAT exam to be falsified and has since put the ordeal behind her
With the hopes of relaunching her acting career.
Longoria, of course, is eager to return to her iconic role if the ladies do get their wish.
“Oh my God, yes! I would be the first to sign up for the reboot,” Longoria told Entertainment Tonight. “Marc Cherry knows that. I’ve told him a hundred times.
I was like, ‘Let’s do it again. I miss Wisteria Lane. I miss the girls. I miss Gabby Solis. I miss being her.’”
So with all of the factors considered, it’s even odds whether the show will return, the snitch claimed.
“Marc Cherry says he has trouble thinking of ways to advance these characters more than 10 years after the show ended,” said the source.
“But he still loves them and all the fun they had in their hayday. If Eva and her costars gang up on him, he may make it happen.”
Eva Longoria is not the only one excited about the possibility of a Desperate Housewives reboot. Her former cast members Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher, and Nicollette Sheridan are also eager to see the show return.
Longoria, at 49, is the youngest of the group and has managed to keep her career going with new projects like the Apple TV+ series, Land of Women, and a guest spot on the Hulu hit Only Murders in the Building.
However, her fellow cast members have seen a decline in their acting careers since the end of Desperate Housewives. Felicity Huffman, in particular, faced additional challenges after her involvement in the college admissions scandal that landed her in prison for 11 days in 2019.
Despite the setback, Huffman is looking to revive her acting career and a Desperate Housewives reboot could be just the opportunity she needs.
With the support of the rest of the cast, including Eva Longoria, there is a strong possibility that a reboot could happen. Longoria has expressed her enthusiasm for returning to her iconic role of Gabrielle Solis on Wisteria Lane and has made it clear to Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry that she is on board.
Although Cherry has expressed some concerns about advancing the characters more than 10 years after the show’s original run, the nostalgia and fond memories of the cast may be enough to sway him. If Eva and her co-stars continue to express their interest in a reboot, Cherry may ultimately decide to make it happen.
Overall, the future of a Desperate Housewives reboot remains uncertain, but the enthusiasm and support from the cast may be enough to convince Marc Cherry to revisit Wisteria Lane.
