Eva Longoria Wants Some Gay Friends

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Eva Longoria is absolutely thrilled over gay neighbors Bob and Lee moving to Wisteria Lane in the upcoming season of "Desperate Housewives" and says it's about time the neighborhood gets some more gay flavor.

"I am really excited about the gay neighbors, it is about time," Longoria told Access Hollywood. "I am surprised we haven't had them before."

Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm play Wisteria Lane's first gay couple, Bob and Lee, who relocate to the street from New York City. They immediately start clashing with some of the neighbors, among them Teri Hatcher's character Susan Mayer.

"They're funny, oh god they're funny," Longoria says of the boys 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 says that her own character, Gabrielle Solis, has had little interaction with Bob and Lee since filming began, but she would love to see that change.

"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."
