Longoria ‘Desperate’ to
befriend gay neighbors
17 Sept 2007- Los Angeles - Eva
Longoria is buzzing over the newest addition to the “Desperate Housewives” cast
— gay neighbors Bob and Lee.
“I am really
excited about the gay neighbors, it is about time,” she told “Access Hollywood”
on the Emmy red carpet Sunday night. “I am surprised we haven’t had them
before.”
On Friday,
“Access Hollywood” introduced you to Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm, who will play
the street’s first gay couple — Bob and Lee. The two relocate to the street
after a spell in New York City, only to find that erecting a rather large
fountain causes trouble with a new character played by Dana Delany. Longoria
revealed Delany’s character isn’t the only one the gents find trouble with.
“They’re funny,
oh god they’re funny,” Longoria says of the men in their new roles. “(They) have
a lot with Teri Hatcher — they are, like, catty with her and they don’t like her
and it is so fun.”
Longoria
herself admits her character — sexy, 30-something Gabrielle Solis — hasn’t had
much interaction with Bob and Lee since filming began, but she would sure like
to.
“They’re my
neighbors. They are actually the house right next to me and I haven’t really
interacted with them too much,” she sighed. “I would love (a script involving my
character and their characters). Gabrielle should be friends with the gays.”
