Members Cheap21 Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 http://www.usmagazine.com/node/2316 "Desperate Housewives" creator Marc Cherry has told cast members to knock it off with the getting knocked up, says Eva Longoria. Longoria made an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," and told Ellen that "Desperate Housewives" creator, Marc Cherry had put a ban on any more cast pregnancies. Ellen: You’re going to postpone if you want to get married [to San Antonio Spurs star, Tony Parker] and start a family like in a couple of years? You can't do that while you’re working? Eva: Well, no you can -- it's just difficult because our work schedule is so crazy and you know Marcia Cross is pregnant and so Marc Cherry came on the set and he was “like no more pregnancies this year...they’re really hard to write in.” Ellen: So you can’t do it yet. How many kids do you want? Eva: As many as God will give. Let’s hope Cherry changes his mind before the everyone’s biological clock kicks in and he’s found locked in a basement or buried underneath a pool.

Members Daphne Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 Da hell? I can't figure out if Eva is being serious or if Marc was being sarcastic. How dare he tell a woman when to get pregnant!! Especially considering how 4 of the 5 actresses are over 40. It's not like they have all the time in the world. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scott Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 I would assume that he was being sarcastic, at least i hope he was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 He's such a diva. I don't know who he thinks he is. He's not the first person to write a hit primetime soap. And the show hasn't even been a hit in like a year so I don't know why he is on his high horse all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 Actually, KR, despite reviews, DH has been a hit, ratings-wise. So we really can't say he has no right to be so high and mighty. If the show barely cracked the top 40, then you might have something on him. But it's consistently top 10, top 5? Something like that. It's a phenomenon. Even if the critics loathe it, ABC makes a killing off it. That being said, I REALLY hope he was being sarcastic. That is a ridiculous demand.

Members Actor87 Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic. I mean...who would have the balls to say such a thing anyways?! But watch...just because he said that, every member of the female DH cast is going to be pregnant pretty soon. That's karma for ya, Marc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Q Steph Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 What an ass. He looks like he's carrying triplets! If i were employed by him, i'd get pregnant out of sheer spite and then sue if he tried to fire me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members darraholic Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 Eva, Teri & Felicity need to all get knocked up and piss Marc off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 He acts like he is the only person to write a primetime soap though. And I wouldn't even really call it a soap, but that's just my opinion. I've seen/heard so many interviews including his GG acceptance speech (?) where he just basically comes out and says that he's the [!@#$%^&*] for writing a soap at night. If he's being sarcastic would he make a trip to the studio for it? And would Eva/Ellen feel it necessary to discuss on air? Not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 25, 2006 Administrator Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm going to defend Marc and say that it was obviously a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 You don;t have to write it in, just hide it with close angles and ignore it. Heather Locklear's pregnancy wasn't written in on Melrose Place and she still managed to get shoved around just like any other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 I wouldn't use "obviously" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Locklear's pregnancy wasn't written in on Melrose Place and she still managed to get shoved around just like any other day. but on Melrose Place, they had to cut the season early and resumed the remainder in the summer, which is similiar to wha they also did on Sex and the City when Sarah Jessica Parker got preggers. Im sure ABC isnt looking at doing something like this. At least Marcia got preggers before the season started bc now they have plenty of time to make adjustments further down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Andre Posted September 26, 2006 Members Share Posted September 26, 2006 It was. I saw that episode of Ellen. Eva was laughing and said it in a sarcastic tone. I wish everyone in this thread would at least give the man a benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
