Eva Longoria was hit by a falling pole on Wednesday while filming a scene for ABC’s “Desperate Housewives”.

Longoria, 30, who plays the sexy, adulterous Gabrielle Solis on the show, was struck in the head by the pole and treated at an area hospital for injuries. She was released the same day.

Longoria will return to work as scheduled, ABC spokeswoman Liz Anderson said, adding, “She’s got a hard head.”

Reuters reports the accident occurred while members of the cast were on location at Pasadena City College, near Los Angeles.

Anderson said the pole, a part of the construction material from the set, fell while Longoria was shooting a jail scene for the show’s second season.
