Hey there, TV fans! Remember the unforgettable world of Wisteria Lane and the unforgettable drama of Desperate Housewives? Well, it seems like Jesse Metcalf, who played the smoldering John Rowland, is just as nostalgic as the rest of us. Fans were heartbroken when the series wrapped up in May 2012. But hold onto your hats, because Jesse, now 40, has dropped some exciting news in a recent interview. He's totally open to a reboot of this beloved mystery comedy-drama! Let's dive into the details and find out what this could mean for the future of Desperate Housewives.
Jesse Metcalf: The Man Behind John Rowland
When Us Weekly asked Jesse if he'd consider reprising his role as John Rowland, his response was a resounding, “100 percent!” That’s music to the ears of all the DH fans out there. Jesse isn’t just excited to return; he's already thinking about what his character might be up to in today's world. Imagine John Rowland, the former love interest of Eva Longoria's character Gabrielle Solis, coming back with a whole new story to tell. This could be the drama we've all been waiting for!
What Would a Reboot Look Like?
Now, when it comes to the specifics, Jesse admits he’d leave that to the masterminds behind the scenes. “I would probably leave that up to whoever decides to write this reboot or film. If it’s [creator] Marc Cherry, I’m sure he has better ideas than me,” Jesse explained. But here’s the kicker—he joked that he’d hope to come back "with a little money in my pocket." Sounds like Jesse still has that charming sense of humor we all fell in love with.

Staying Connected with the Cast
Even though the show ended years ago, Jesse keeps in touch with some of his former co-stars. He mentioned running into Eva Longoria, 43, and occasionally catching up with Teri Hatcher, who played Susan Mayer. These friendships remind us that the magic of Desperate Housewives extends beyond the screen. It's a testament to the bond they formed while creating one of the most iconic TV shows of our time.
Eva Longoria: Ready to Revisit Gaby?
And what about Eva Longoria? In a 2018 interview with Closer Weekly, Eva shared her thoughts on a possible reboot. She said, “I would play Gaby again in a heartbeat, [but] our showrunner doesn’t want to do it, the creator.” Eva clearly has a soft spot for her character, and she’s not shy about it. In another interview from the previous year, she expressed how much she misses the show. “I love that show. I miss it every single day. I miss being Gaby. I miss being on that set. I miss everything about it,” she revealed. It’s clear that the possibility of a reboot excites her as much as it does the fans.
What Could Gaby Be Doing Today?
Eva once joked that Gaby might be “ruling the world” now and “starting a fashion empire.” Can you picture it? The sultry and stylish Gabrielle Solis taking over the fashion industry? That’s the kind of storyline we’d all tune in to see. Fans of the show are holding out hope that both Jesse and Eva will return to the small screen for a Desperate Housewives reboot that could redefine the series for a new generation.
Bringing Back the Magic
There’s something magical about the world of Desperate Housewives. Whether it’s the drama-filled lives of the women on Wisteria Lane or the unforgettable characters that brought the show to life, the series left an indelible mark on television history. A reboot could give fans the chance to revisit these beloved characters and explore new stories that resonate with today’s world. With Jesse Metcalf and Eva Longoria expressing interest, the possibilities are endless. Let’s hope the creators hear the fans’ cries and bring this iconic show back to life!
