Actress/Character of the Week

by

. Good morning everyone! So, how was everyone’s weekend? I hope you made it a good one and got the chance to see the new episode last night. In case you didn’t, though, I’ll be sharing a recap later. For now? I wanna talk about my pick for actress and character of the week: Eva Longoria/Gabrielle Solis.

This was Eva’s episode and she knew it. Every moment she was on screen, she made the most of. There were two plots for her this week, which I’ll go in a little more detail about in the recap: One…. a feud with Susan over parenting issues. Another is when she ends up buying a used car and has to stand up for herself when it turns out to be a lemon. She does it all in classic Gabby fashion, not letting anyone get the best of her. Personally, I wonder why people even try. I mean, let’s face it: this is freaking Gabrielle Solis. You just don’t mess with her and expect to not get burned a little.

One of the best moments she had, though, was during a more serious moment with Susan when she’s talking about the fact she’d rather Juanita be a bully than a victim. You could really see the love and concern she has the girls and a softer side of Gabby, something she tries not to show much. I know Eva gets some grief on fans boards here and there for not being all that good, but I think this episode proves them wrong and I’d love to see her get some recognition when awards season comes back around.

Well, that’s it. See ya later for the recap! I’ve also got some cool news about James to share tomorrow, as well as favorite quotes and other stuff, so don’t miss it! Til, then- take care!
