I don´t think they should make Eva Longoria (Gabrielle) look fat, vulgar, and untidy. Come on Eva give more pride to latinoamerican women!!
It seems that is the only way they can make her look ¨low profile¨... so she doesn´t stand out in the show.
Besides the girl who plays the daughter ... give me a break ... do you really would think she is HER daughter? She seems more from an island like Samoa to me.
