Of course, when you mention such a name as Longoria\u2019s, it\u2019s not long before thought turns to another major show that she co-led as fiery Desperate Housewives<\/a> character, Gabrielle Solis.<\/p>\n With talks continuing to bubble about whether or not a reboot of Desperate Housewives<\/a> will ever happen one day, there\u2019s certainly set to be a crop of Land of Women viewers that may draw a similarity or two between Longoria\u2019s new character of Gala to Gaby.<\/p>\n But are there any similarities to be drawn between the two characters at all? When asked that very question by RadioTimes.com<\/a> in an exclusive chat about the series, Longoria admitted: \u201cNo, I actually think they\u2019re so different.<\/p>\n \u201cGaby was very strong, Gaby was \u2013 she knew what she wanted, she manipulated a lot of people to get what she wanted, she was very comfortable being wealthy and stuck up, where Gala doesn\u2019t know what she wants.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking about her new character of Gala, Longoria continued: \u201cShe\u2019s terribly insecure, she doesn\u2019t have purpose in her life, she\u2019s only the arm candy of her husband with no voice. I think Gaby had a very strong voice and so, what I liked about Gala\u2019s journey in this show was where she ends up.<\/p>\n \u201cShe, like I said, doesn\u2019t have any purpose and then is thrown into a country she\u2019s never been, speaking a language she\u2019s never really spoken. She has to hide and protect her family and she has to provide for her family, she\u2019s never done any of these things.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd when you\u2019re thrown into the fire like that and you\u2019re tested, who you come out as is really telling. And so, by the sixth episode, she is so proud, like, \u2018I did have it in me, all along I\u2019ve had this strength in me and I never knew that\u2019. And she never would\u2019ve known that if she wasn\u2019t forced into discovering it.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The new series sees Longoria and her fellow cast speak largely in Castilian Spanish, with Longoria also serving as an executive producer on the new dramedy. The six-part series follows Gala as she\u2019s forced to leave New York once she learns of her husband\u2019s dodgy dealings.<\/p>\n![\"Desperate](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2021-01-28-at-17.06.27-4804f3f.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"disney-plus-best-tv-series\\"\/")
