Nicollette Sheridan Speaks About Desperate Housewives Exit
Nicollette Sheridan has opened up about her shocking exit from Desperate Housewives.
Speaking to TV Guide, the actress — who plays Edie Britt on the smash hit show — revealed why she feels the show has lost its magic, the truth behind her history of conflict with creator Marc Cherry and all the gossip from her final days on set.
On who did her in, “Somebody up there really wanted her dead. I think whoever Edie represented in [Housewives creator] Marc’s life was somebody he
didn’t like. And he had a very difficult time distinguishing between fact and fiction.”
On Cherry’s decision to kill her off, “[Killing off Edie] was a risky decision that could have devastating ramifications.”
On the show losing its magic, “When the show started it was such a different beast. It was exciting and dangerous and funny and edgy and bizarre. It started feeling a little complacent, and that was very frustrating.”
On why she didn’t quit sooner, “All the women were contractually bound, so there was no way out on your own terms.”
On learning of Edie’s demise, “I said, ‘OK, sayonara. It’s been a great ride. Thank you.”
