Gabrielle Solis
Played by Eva Longoria
Gabrielle is an ex model who likes "rich food and rich men", but her marriage to the wealthy Carlos hasn't turned out to be everything she dreamed of.
Although showered with gifts, Gabrielle dislikes being treated as an object to be admired by business associates. Unfulfilled, she looks for a quick fix in the arms of her hunky young gardener John.
When John asks why she married Carlos, Gabrielle replies: "He promised to give me everything I ever wanted. Turns out I wanted the wrong things."
Although she's used to being a 'kept' woman Gabrielle is not soft, and when adversity strikes she proves remarkably resiliant.
MARITAL STATUS: Married to Carlos
CHILDREN: None
"She's not fulfilled, and her husband doesn't treat her the way she though he would. I love that she's trying to change it. She's going about it the wrong way, but she's trying to find companionship and love and trust." Eva Longoria in Entertainment Weekly.
