UPDATE: Sadly, it seems like Eva Longoria will only be directing on Jane the Virgin and not guest starring. I'll update if this changes.
Longoria has no plans to appear in a guest role, according to a rep for The CW. (But wouldn’t it be great if she popped in as one of Rogelio’s celebrity friends, or perhaps better yet, foes? Yes, and yes.)

Thanks to Darkness for the heads up.
Eva Longoria will be directing an episode of Jane the Virgin (revealed in a Snapchat from Gina Rodriguez). TV Guide Magazine & TVLine is also reporting that she's guest starring. Who else is excited! Comment below.

Star Jaime Camil announced the news of the Desperate Housewives actress’ visit to the CW dramedy via Instagram.
Though there's currently no news regarding Longoria's storyline and how she fits into the dramatic world of Jane, it's possible that, like Britney Spears, Charo and Paulina Rubio before her, she could be playing herself.
