Longoria, 48, recently sat down with Mario Lopez for an interview on Access Hollywood and revealed that she misses Desperate Housewives and if there was a reboot, she would be the ‘first to sign up.’
‘I miss Gabby so much! I miss being Gabby Solis,’ she said.
There’s only one problem. Series creator Marc Cherry isn’t on board with the idea of bringing back the women of Wisteria Lane.

‘Marc wouldn’t do it, our creator. I’ve talked to him several times. He feels like “why now,” Like, for the sake of a reboot. He wouldn’t do it,’ she explained.
She continued: ‘He wants to know like, “what do I have to say with these characters that we haven’t already fully mined.”
There’s one other potential issue with a reboot – Gabby would have to have new neighbors on Wisteria Lane.
‘There was nobody on the street I was left to sleep with. Like I slept with everybody. I was like, “What do we do now,”‘ Eva joked.
Desperate Housewives aired for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012.
Flamin’ Hot’ premieres exclusively on Disney+ under the Star banner on June 9.
