Desperate Housewives - Gabrielle's first impression

Gaby makes an awful first impression on the housewives of Wisteria Lane and tries to fix it by being apologetic... One of the most touching moments of the show

[@Miumiu0404]

This was so sad. I don't know if I could have the courage to do the same, admit that I'm lonely and seek out friends.

I dont say it. But people around me does. I work all the time and when im home no one is home.

I've always felt like Bree was the "Boss" of those 4 women...?

[@stefanmakara373]

*A leader She actually clearly expresses it in season 7 or 8 She isn't a tyrant, she is a rock they can lean on And do, in fact. And they did not appreciate it until they lost it.

[@msrain1235]

I thought that she was the leader, but sometimes Lynette was the brains.

[@alucinado1021]

I think it was supposed to be Mary Alice since she was the oldest living on the lane. When she passed, that role was taken over by Bree. If you look at the intro of the 1st ep, Mary Alice brags about being the perfect housewife, and so was Bree. They were the ones doing the dinner parties, barbacues, luncheons and etc

[@alucinado1021]

@@msrain1235 Lynette and Susan were useless in season 8, while Gaby and Bree (especially) handled the Alejandro situation without problems. Here is the top 3 of badass: 1. Karen: She took the blame for killing Alejandro, kept her husband in a freezer, looked the other way when she knew Felicia planned to frame Paul, 2. Bree: she immediately planned covering Alejabdro's murder and never lost her cool about it 3. Katherine: She killed her ex without blinking And I would ve added Edie has she not died

[@Joe_Parmesan]

@@alucinado1021 Katherine is awesome. She receives a lot of hatred, but I just don't get it. She slipped a bit in Season 6, but I think that added to her character, since she kept her cool for so long

[@TheMovieManiac2]

My absolute favorite scene of this show overall. I mean it really is the best scene of this show... it really captures the absolute essence of a "Desperate Housewife"... Gabrielle is trully desperate in this scene and she is unapologetically honest about it... the woman married a man she loved and gave up her life to be with him and she ended up alone in an empty house... "my husband is never home" is like the most heartbreaking line to be spoken by a housewife... not to mention the fact that she chuckles and smiles as she says it makes it even more heartbreaking..

[@judylynnlau450]

"my husband's never home" This is WAY BETTER than going out to have an affair with some other dude😭

It takes a lot of guts to admit you were wrong, most people can't do this. Also not all people can forgive and give second chances. Everybody was doing a great thing in this video...

[@brontiq]

You mean most of MEN can't do it

[@Mattbarson23]

I’ve had these moments recently where I realise I’ve done wrong and completely f***d up, and what Gabrielle did here was realise that the front she’s putting up doesn’t wash with anyone and she should have just been her complete authentic self. Sometimes it’s hard showing that vulnerability I think because you think that by doing that, people turn their back on you. I admit Gabrielle did need a kick up the A55, but what I like in this moment is her ability to realise she should have just been authentic, and THAT side of her went down a lot better.

[@YunaQQQQQ8]

I see myself so much in this scene..

[@YunaQQQQQ8]

+Kathrine Be Weeeeeeell perhaps not the husband part lol, but I lived right outside the city and I had to move and I miss it so much because it was pretty much my life, I'm never invited to anything, I say crazy things because people have treated me badly throughout my years and therefore I don't know what would hurt people and what wouldn't. I'm lonely pretty much all the time and I do have few friends but it's not like I'm seeing them every day etc. :P

[@xxdavexx23]

Fred West it’s pretty much opposite for me. I moved to a city. And I miss the suburban life. I miss it being tranquil and I can go anywhere freely with out a bunch of people. Just waiting to graduate college to move back home. For grad school definitely picking somewhere that’s not a city.

[@brontiq]

And more believably. Eva Longoria is way too short. She would never make it as runway model

[@dodixaverius9176]

​@@brontiqi think mark cherry admitted himself that making her a model was mistake. In later seasons they make it even more obvious when Heidi Klum (who is a model) guest star and you can tell the stark contrast between their height. Now why does runway model need to be tall is a discussion for another time.

[@musaho]

This is beautiful but it's sad that her kind of vulnerability and their kind of empathy are super rare in real life.

[@Kabeyavictoria]

Eva Longoria is an amazing actress

[@XMapleGrazyX]

I know I felt for her so much when I saw this scene. It was so lovely and heartwarming. But I can't stop laughing cause I keep thinking, what if Lynette had slammed the door right after.

[@llywelynddraig853]

Your dark.... i relate

[@Jess3674]

I experienced something similar a few days ago when my sister and I got into an argument. I expressed a boundary that I wasn't willing to cross, but she kept pushing it before I eventually chose to physically leave the argument. My sister is not someone willing to admit she ever is ever in the wrong, so when she approached me some time after digesting our words, I was not expecting her to apologize and admit she pushed an issue that was sensitive to me when she knew she shouldn't have. The moment was a lot like this.

[@shwmehvn]

People talk about love, happiness, positive attitude but humility, humbleness these are just as powerful if not more. Love, happiness, positivity are active energies. Humbleness humility are passive energies. As an older man I've learned that saying sorry, admitting you're wrong, giving in, stop being stubborn, has profound positive affects. Nothing wrong with admitting weakness or the need for help.

[@CarlDillynson]

The only thing that bothers me about this scene was that they didn't even bother making her look like she did in season one. The hair and clothes are all wrong for pre-2004 Gabrielle.

[@brontiq]

Demonstration of real strength - admitting your wrongdoing, apologising for it, open up and show your vulnerability

[@charlesmichael2806]

I always thought Eva Longoria, the actress who plays Gaby, didnt have great acting skills, or better say she doesnt demonstrate that enough in the show, maybe because not many scenes in the show could allow to show Eva's great acting, as the role of Gaby, in my opinions, often appeals to the stereotypes: the hot-head latino, who is pretty but spoiled and materialistic, which no doubt has successfully created the humor and delight of the show and created a very adored character Gaby in the mind of the audience. In comparison, in my opinions, the other housewives including even Karen and Eddie are more complex and that's why I think the other actresses could have more chances to demonstrate their skills, instead of only emphasizing on the physical appearance of the actresses. But the scene here especially the moment when Eva cant hold her tears does speak aloud Eva's ability to perform the character's psychological complication.

[@pvrpleheart4093]

Lee charles I have to Agree, you can hear Gaby's voice trembling when she says "and I could really use some friends". There's definitely emotions in that line. (Edit) (I misread your comment before)

[@davidsinnott1894]

I agree completely, Eva was way better than the show allowed her to be. They always relied on her for the comedic storylines, which she always excelled in. But when they actually did give her something more to work with she was brilliant. For example the Lily storyline, it was played for laughs for almost half a season and then when they took Lily away, Eva broke everyone’s hearts in that scene.

[@SmoothCinnamonX]

I think the scenes where she is smothering her kids allow Eva to shine a lot! Whether it is her tucking in Juanita for the night, or crying after Grace gets taken away , I think that whole storyline brought out some great dramatic scenes in Eva. She shows a lot of tenderness as a mom.

obviously that this scene was recorded late in that particular season, they all look older than on the first seaon. In all the scenes that they did with memories, they didn't look as they should be - younger as in the first season.

[@metro121482]

Well, yeah, it's not like the writers could de-age the actresses and match them up perfectly with their season 1 looks. And it's not like the writers could plan out every flashback they may possibly want to do someday and shoot it three years in advance. Seriously, what do you expect?

[@City-of-lights]

It’s out of character. Gaby was actually very respectful and supportive of her friends. She was diplomatic and remained composed. Sure she liked to show off but she often managed to pull it off jokingly or at least more subtly than that, now she’s just a caricature of herself, shallow and parodic. Marc Cherry almost completely lost touch with the essence of his characters as the show went on…

[@Joe_Parmesan]

This was a flashback, before Gaby even became friends with the other ladies. Gaby humbled herself a bit and accepted her new environment, after talking to Eli Scruggs
