Desperately seeking attention: Racy Eva Longoria upstages the Housewives in new shoot

Desperate Housewives may be an ensemble show, but that didn't stop Eva Longoria stealing the spotlight in their latest promotional campaign.

The actress, who at 33 is the youngest of the group, upstaged her costars in new pictures released ahead of the show's next season.

While Teri Hatcher, Nicollette Sheridan, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross all settled for demure frocks and poses for the campaign, Eva took a less subtle approach.
Dressed in a show-stopping gold confection with a daring plunging neckline, the star opted for a far more seductive look complete with a flash of thigh.

But her turn in the fifth season won't be quite so glamorous.

It picks up in the year 2013, where Eva's character Gabrielle has acquired two children and a few extra pounds.
Producer Marc Cherry says: 'The flash-forward was my way of hitting the reset button on the show. I felt the story lines had gotten to operatic and complex, and I wanted to go back to the simplicity of season one.

'It’s our way of washing away the soap. Season five will open five years down the road, and there’s a big new mystery. It involves several new neighbours'

Nicollette has been the subject of persistent rumours she is exiting the hit show after she was kicked off Wisteria Lane at the end of season four.
But producers have confirmed that she will appear at the next season and with a brand new love interest, Boomtown star Neal McDonough.

Creator Marc Cherry reveals: 'Edie will come back to Wisteria Lane in a very surprising way. We’re not telling you any more than that.'

Edie's return, Nicollette says, 'will be hot.'
