Remember Gabby’s Girls from Desperate Housewives? Here’s What They Look Like Now…

Anyone else feeling old?

Desperate Housewives doesn’t get nearly the amount of retrospective acclaim it deserves. 

When Marc Cherry’s series launched in 2004 it lit up our screens as a darkly delicious dramedy with a pretty fierce female cast.

For eight seasons, the goings on on Wisteria Lane kept us captivated, and star Eva Longoria became a household name thanks to her portrayal of spoiled former model Gabby.

Some of her best scenes, however, we stolen by her on-screen daughters.

Juanita Solis was played by Madison De La Garza, while Celia was brought to life by Daniella Baltodano. That is of course before the (somewhat ridiculous) plot twist whereby Gabby’s biological daughter had been switched at birth with Juanita.

It seems as though the sibling bond couldn’t be broken on or off the screen, as Madison De La Garza and Daniella Baltodano remain close friends.

The pair are both active on Twitter, (you can follow Daniella here and Madison here), frequently updating fans on their latest on screen adventures.

Since Desperate Housewives, Daniella has appeared in the US adaptation of Shameless.

 

Cecilia Balagot, who played Grace, is now starring in Girl Meets World as Isadora Smackle.

The biggest transformation, however, belongs to Madison. Demi Lovato’s step-sister, now 13, has landed roles in Good Luck Charlie and Muertoons, as well as a starring role in the TV series Bad Teacher, based on the movie of the same name.
