Eva Longoria is sharing her thoughts on the impact of ‘Desperate Housewives’ following the popularity of the series. And while fans of the show have shared their excitement for a potential reboot, the Hollywood star says that the storyline would not work today, as some of the situations could be too controversial for viewers.
“I love that show so much, I miss my time on the show,” she said to ET Online, revealing that she would say reprise her character if she was asked. “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 think we’d get canceled,” she explained. “I mean, not canceled on TV but like canceled 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.”

You’ve slept with everybody! We’ve exchanged husbands.’ It was like, ‘What else? What other stories could we possibly tell [with] these women?’ And so that’s Marc’s big, big thing; he’s like, ‘Why now?’ He doesn’t want to reboot just to reboot.”
