    Kyle MacLachlan is open to a Desperate Housewives return

    The 66-year-old actor portrayed the character of Orson Hodge in the ABC series between 2006 and 2012 and revealed that he would consider taking a role in the revival of the hit show that is in development


    Kyle told People: "That'd be fun. I mean, Wisteria Lane still exists on the Universal back lot. It's part of the tour!"

    The Blue Velvet star explained that he would consider a potential role as a brand new opportunity in his career.

    He said: "If for Desperate Housewives, if that were to come back - and if they would even want me to come back - I'd have to look at the role and kind of get a sense of what they're thinking about for the character.

    "So I would approach it like if it were something completely new and weigh how I feel about the role, and the character, and the process of everything, you know? I would treat it like it were, you know something else (new) that had come to me and make my judgement on that."

    Kyle explained that he was faced with a similar choice when he decided to return as Special Agent Dale Cooper in the late David Lynch's cult series Twin Peaks - which aired for two seasons in the early 1990s before being revived in 2017.

    He said: "The thing about returning to Twin Peaks was that David decided not to really pick it up from where we left off and to create a completely different journey for the character.

    "And I got to do a couple (of) different characters in the reboot."

    Although Kyle is enthusiastic about the prospect, Eva Longoria is unsure if a Desperate Housewives reboot would be successful.

    The 50-year-old star found fame as Gabrielle 'Gaby' Solis on the show but isn't sure what bosses could do with her alter ego in terms of storylines if she did return.

    Eva told Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in April: "I can't sleep with any more people on that street. I have slept with every person on the street, as did Nicolette Sheridan (who played Edie Britt)."

    The For Greater Glory actress explained that creator Marc Cherry would require "the most convincing" to join the reboot as he felt the programme had run its course when it ended in 2012.

    Longoria said: "He feels like we've exhausted the characters."
