After leaving the soap in 2003, she joined the cast of the ABC show ‘Desperate Housewives’, where she quickly became a fan favorite as the hilarious Gabrielle Solis. She was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in  A Television Series, Musical or Comedy, along with her co-stars, in 2006.
