Eva Longoria, Co-stars Discuss Final Season Of Desperate Housewives

Eva Longoria turned on the charm with her on-screen husband Ricardo Antonio Chavira Tuesday night at a discussion panel about their show Desperate Housewives.

The stunning actress, who plays Gabrielle Solis, worked up a chemistry with Chavira – her husband Carlos in the ABC drama – as they attended a TCA press tour in Pasadena, California.

Eva, 36, who is dating 26-year-old actor Eduardo Cruz, laid an affectionate hand on her co-star throughout parts of the discussion.

At another interval, she grabbed hold of his bushy locks – apparently implying he was in need of a good haircut.

Eva looked beautiful in a bright orange dress, which showed off her lovely long legs.

She was joined by her co-stars, including Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Vanessa Williams as they answered questions about the final season of the show.

Hatcher's on-screen husband James Denton was also in attendance.

After eight years, the gang are preparing to take their final bow later this year.

Creator Mark Cherry had been planning on doing a ninth season, but decided last year to end on season eight to avoid the network pulling the plug sooner.

While the comedy drama used to viewing figures of around 25m per episode in its heyday, these days it barely gets 10m.

Cherry did say, however, there was a possibility of a Desperate Housewives reunion movie.

He revealed that he discussed the idea with Sex And The City creator Patrick King a few years ago – but conceded King did have an advantage on him in making his movies.

“Sex and the City only did like 69 episodes. The advantage for them was they hadn't really plumbed the depths of those characters,” Cherry explained.

“After eight years, I think we're done. I'm happy about it. It's not a bad thing. I feel very satisfied with where we are. I'm never sending these girls to Dubai. That's all I'm saying.”

Executive producer Bob Daily said that not every loose end will be tied up when the show comes to an end.

“We don't want to tie up every loose end,” he said, adding: “Life goes on on Wisteria Lane.”

Cherry went on to tease that old familiar faces would be brought back, including Hatcher's on-screen daughter Julie (Andrea Bowen).

But asked if Nicollette Sheridan will return as Edie, Cherry replied: “No comment,” hinting a return is not on the cards following their bitter fallout.

Speaking about her relationship with Chavira, Longoria joked of his macho character: “I wouldn't be surprised if (Carlos) is going to be gay,” referring to the ups and downs of their relationship.
