Actress Marcia Cross has revealed that she will miss her Desperate Housewives counterpart Bree Van de Kamp "immensely".
In an interview with Digital Spy, Cross revealed that she will be sad to see the end of the TV series, which is going into its eight, and last season.
She said: "I will miss Bree immensely. We've been through so much together. We've tackled marriages, babies, deaths, cancer... It's been a long, interesting journey on Desperate Housewives, so it's going to be difficult to say goodbye.
"She will be like an old friend that I will miss dearly, although as an actor you always look forward to doing new things. I guess it's bittersweet."
The star also spoke about how much her life has changed since she joined the show, saying: "How didn't it change? During the show I got married, I had twins and I took care of my husband at one point when he was sick. I went from thinking I was giving up my acting career to working on a hugely successful show.
"I've been working so hard for the past eight years and I'm tired – but I'm also deliciously tired because what a wonderful life I've lived. I'm looking forward to having a rest and being able to give to those I haven't been able to see."
