No Desperate Housewives movie plans

11th January 2012

Marc Cherry is "never sending" the Desperate Housewives actresses to Dubai in reference to the Sex and the City movie.

The eighth season of the show is currently being broadcast and it's been confirmed it will be the last.

Programme creator Marc has no plans to follow in the footsteps of popular TV show Sex and the City and create a spin-off movie.

Sex and the City characters Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda enjoyed a vacation in the Middle East in the second big-screen adaptation.

"People ask me if it's bittersweet. No, it's sweet. There is no such thing as a job that goes on forever. I was so f**ked. I was $100,000 in debt to my mother, I went three years without an interview. No one thought I was anything. I write this script, and all hell broke loose. I knew it was going to be a rollercoaster. I'm smart enough, humane enough to know it's all good. Even the bad stuff was good. Even the days when I was exhausted. It was fantastic. We are grateful," he told reporters at the Television Critics Association Winter Session in Pasadena on Tuesday.

"I'm never sending these gals to Dubai. I think we're done. I'm happy about it. I feel very satisfied with where we are."

Marc was joined on the panel by Felicity Huffman who plays Lynette Scavo on the ABC show. The blonde star compared the end of Desperate Housewives to a real-life death.

"It's like having the funeral before you die!" she exclaimed.

Eva Longoria was sentimental about the programme's finale. The stunning star is Gabrielle Solis in the series and admits she'll miss the feisty character.

"When we started eight years ago, TV changed so much," she said.

"We got 25 million viewers, the critics loved it. But then we got some knocks. But kudos to Marc for pushing the envelope."

Teri Hatcher also reminisced about her favourite memory on set. The brunette star who portrays Susan Mayer referenced her infamous nude scene while in a bush.

"It was one of the most fun, vulnerable, exciting, well-written moments in Susan's personal journey," she gushed. "I'll never forget it."
