I think I’ve always been surprised by where my career has taken me so I have a feeling that’s what will happen again with whatever I do next.”Ĭross is cooking up a production of her own as well-one that would find her behind the camera writing and producing. At the same time, however, “There’s so many great shows right now. “I would love to be playing the kind of characters like what I did on this,” she said. Her guest spot on You, she said, has made her hungry to work more-“to get in there and go full-tilt, really.” Can you imagine writing that many episodes, eight years’ worth?”Ĭross has some ideas about what she’d like to do in the future, but she’s also being careful not to rule anything out. So I think when Mark says that, that’s part of it. I mean, they mined everything they possibly could. “We worked non-stop-and what that means is those writers work non-stop. “Nobody remembers that!” Cross said of the astronomical episode count.

“I’m very lucky and I’m very grateful for that show and all the wonderful people on it-just the whole thing,” she said, adding that she and her fellow castmates have kept in touch over the years.īut as Cherry recently pointed out, the series already aired more than 150 episodes-which feels like a pretty complete story already. It’s not that Cross had a bad experience making the show-which she called a blast, a gift, and a joy. But both Cross and Cherry have rebuffed the idea. It’s been 17 years since Desperate Housewives first premiered, and some fans have still not given up hope for a reboot. You have to be so committed to the character and the job at hand.” “I’ve kind of played in that world before, so I know-you have to be so good. “They make it look easy but it’s not easy,” Cross said. (Probably for the best, she said, to prevent her from getting “too fan-y.”) But she and Speedman, the beloved Felicity alum and fan-favorite guest star on Grey’s Anatomy among many other roles, got along swimmingly: “He is intense, committed, passionate about his work-everything I love in an actor,” Cross said.Īppearing on the series also gave Cross a greater appreciation for Badgley and Pedretti’s work as Joe Goldberg and Love Quinn-a couple diabolical enough to hold their own on Wisteria Lane. In an ironic twist, Cross never got to meet Badgley while working on the show, and only once did she cross paths with Victoria Pedretti. She plays Jean, a no-nonsense lawyer tasked with preventing Speedman’s obsessive character Matthew from getting himself thrown in jail for, among other things, cyberstalking the entire town.

“It wasn’t a very big part, but I wanted it.”Īlongside her scene partner, Scott Speedman, Cross quickly became one of this season’s most exciting guest stars after a trailer revealed that the onetime Bree Van de Kamp would mix with Joe Goldberg and Love Quinn (now Quinn-Goldberg) in Madre Linda-this season’s fictional Northern Californian suburb. “I actually put myself on tape for it,” she said. When the opportunity arose to join the show as a guest star, the veteran actress seized her moment. But then she started watching and, like Joe Goldberg himself, became a little bit obsessed. “I was like, ‘Oh, he’s just watching some guy prey on beautiful women-I don’t know if I’m interested,” the Desperate Housewives star told The Daily Beast during a recent interview. Marcia Cross was not exactly enamored with Netflix’s You when she first discovered her husband watching it.
