‘They look exactly the same’ say Desperate Housewives fans as stars reunite 12 years after show was cancelled
THESE Desperate Housewives stars have reunited over a decade since the hit cable series was cancelled.
Fans couldn’t help but notice the stars youthful appearance as they look like they haven’t aged a day.
Doug Savant who plays Tom Scavo went on a trip to theatre with wife Laura Leighton to see his former co-star Marcia Cross.
The couple travelled down to Santa Monica to see Marcia in her new play The Substance of Fire.
In the post uploaded to Instagram stories, Laura wrote: ” Soooo good to see @reallymarcia at @ruskingroupthtr so proud of this brilliant beauty ( two red heart emojis)
Still rocking her character Bree Van De Kamp’s iconic red hair Marcia looked like she had barely aged a day as posed next to a youthful-looking Doug.
Fans took to the comments to express their excitement over the TV stars reunion, one fan commented: “They look exactly the same.”
“Seems like we all agree: everyone LOVES @reallymarcia !!! Amazing actress / human being,” said another.
“I really miss the show” added a third.
The show tracked the dramatic lives of rich women living in Wisteria Lane – a white picket-fence area in the suburbs which hides dark secrets behind its doors.
On the series Marcia played Wisteria Lane’s resident neurotic and perfectionist housewife.
Tom portrayed the cool dad who always took the back seat in parenting and his marriage with Bree’s friend, fellow housewife Lynette.
Joining Marcia and Doug on the cast was Eva Longoria as Gabrielle Solis, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo and Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Desperate Housewives debut in the US, when the show instantly became a fan favourite across the globe.
Almost a decade before the pair’s stint on series Doug and Marcia worked together on 90s primetime soap Melrose Place.
Doug played Matt Fielding and Marcia portrayed crazy Kimberley Shaw who blew up the apartment block in one of the biggest cliffhangers of the show.
Doug’s wife Laura also appeared in Melrose Place where all three met- she played character Sydney.
