Over the years, speculation of a bad relationship between Eva Longoria and Teri Hatchertwo of the protagonists of Desperate housewives, the media flooded. Although neither of the two spoke badly of the other, some statements by the Latina of the cast increased the rumors that the women have always had their friction.
In recent days, during an interview with the English media Daily Mail, Longoria was asked if she was still in contact with her former series partners. “I talk to Felicity [Huffman] all the time. I talk a lot with Marcia [Cross]but probably the one I talk to the most is Ricardo [Chavira]my husband, and with Jesse [Metcalfe, el jardinero que se convertía en amante de su personaje]“, responded the actress who played Gabrielle Solís in fiction.
The 49-year-old star did not name Hatcher, 59, during the chat. She also left out Nicollette Sheridan, who only starred in the first five seasons of the ABC series. However, Longoria has hinted at a feud with Hatcher in the past, alleging in 2019 that she had been “harassed” by an unnamed co-worker..
In 2018, in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, the star referred to the historical rumors of friction that she and her colleagues had with Hatcher. It all started when Longoria said that she was going to receive a star with her name on the popular Los Angeles Walk of Fame, and that Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman were going to attend the ceremony: “We are still very friends”. At that moment, Kimmel did not hesitate to ask her: “All of you?”, and the actress quickly said: “No. But 99% of us still are”.
According to rumors, whoever played Susan Mayer had excesses of behavior on the set, not only because she earned a higher salary than her co-stars, but also because she demanded more participation in the episodes. Even Nicollette Sheridan ended up being separated from the cast after a series of confrontations with her.
During 2023, Patty Lin, one of those responsible for the scripts of the first season, told in her book End Credits: How I Broke Up With Hollywood, that it was Hatcher who contributed to the cold atmosphere on set. “We writers weren’t excluded from the set, but we weren’t exactly welcome,” he began. And he shot back: “Usually, We only saw the cast at script readings, where we sat quietly in the back and tried not to make eye contact with Teri Hatcher.”.
Marc Cherry, the creator of the series, wrote a letter of support in 2019 for Huffman, who at that time was awaiting sentencing for the notorious college admissions scam scandal, and there he indicated that the actress was courteous with a “great star” who displayed “major behavioral problems” in the “cast of Desperate housewives”.
“Everyone did their best to get along with this woman throughout the course of the show. But it was impossible“wrote the showrunner, without naming Hatcher, but thus adding to the wave of rumors indicating that the actress became an intractable being on the set. “And things went from bad to worse. Felicity still insisted on saying ‘Good morning’ to this actress, even though she knew she wouldn’t get a response. I found out about this and asked Felicity about it,” she continued to reveal. And, without a filter, she explained: “That woman was determined to be rude.”
Desperate housewives It aired from 2004 to 2012 and was a true television boom. The comedy-drama followed the lives of a group of wealthy women in an American neighborhood, who spent their days battling between raising their children and the appearances they had to maintain in front of the world.
