Carlos Solis

Carlos Solis /ˈkɑːrloʊs soʊˈliːs/ is a fictional character on the ABC television series, Desperate Housewives. The character is played by actor Ricardo Antonio Chavira, and is, for most of the series, the husband of Gabrielle Solis, one of the protagonists of the show (portrayed by Eva Longoria).

Early life

Carlos was born in Guadalajara, Mexico to Juanita and Diego Solis. His father beat both Carlos and his mother so she told him that his father left them for a waitress in El Paso, but in Come In, Stranger, Juanita told Gaby that when Diego beat Carlos when Carlos was 4, "she made sure that Diego Solis never hurt her son or her ever again." It is implied that Juanita murdered Diego to protect Carlos and herself from his domestic violence.

Carlos entered college on a golf scholarship. He soon started a successful career in finances. While at a fashion show, he met his future wife to whom he proposed on their third date.

Overview

Season 1

Carlos wants a family so much that he replaced Gaby's birth control pills with sugar pills as she was against the idea. Due to financial difficulties, Carlos took a plea bargain and served 8 months in jail; separately, he was tried for hate crimes against two gay men who he thought were sleeping with Gabrielle. She was actually sleeping with John Rowland, their teenage gardener. John told Carlos that he beat up the wrong guy, causing Carlos to attack him and be convicted of the hate crimes. Gabrielle originally refused to get him off doing extra time after finding out he messed with her birth control, but made him promise he would take care of the baby in exchange for her testimony.
