Longoria to get 'fantastic scenes' in awards bid

The creator of hit TV series Desperate Housewives has vowed to write a host of "fantastic scenes" for Eva Longoria in an attempt to win her an acting award.

Longoria, who plays adulterous vixen Gabrielle Solis in the series, was overlooked for a Golden Globe nod alongside her female co-stars and, along with Nicolette Sheridan, was ignored again when the Emmy nominations were announced last week.
