Eva Longoria's gay excitement

(BANG) - Eva Longoria is desperate to be friends with the new gay couple on 'Desperate Housewives'.

The actress is "really excited" Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm - who will play Wisteria Lane's first gay couple, Bob and Lee - have signed up for the new series and wants scriptwriters to give her character Gabrielle a storyline with them.

Eva told US TV show 'Access Hollywood': "I am really excited about the gay neighbours, it is about time. I am surprised we haven't had them before.

"They're my neighbours. They are actually the house right next to me and I haven't really interacted with them too much. I would love to see that in the script. Gabrielle should be friends with the gays."

The 32-year-old star also revealed Bob and Lee don't get on with Teri Hatcher's character Susan.

She said: "They're funny, oh god they're funny. They have a lot with Teri Hatcher - they are like, catty with her and they don't like her and it is so fun."
