Nicolette Sheridan Set To Leave DH!

desperatehousewives — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 06:38:54 +0000

It seems that some rumors really are true. Who knew? It was announced on Wednesday that Nicolette Sheridan will in fact be leaving Desperate Housewives at the end of this season. The season finale airs on May 18^th. There have been so many speculations as to why she is leaving and how she will be written off but from what sources are saying Nicolette, who plays real-estate hottie Edie Britt, will be killed off. At the beginning of the season, Edie was married to a man named Dave Williams who was a bit of a sketchy character at best. It was later revealed that his last name was in fact not Williams. It seems he is on Wisteria Lane to get revenge against Mike Delfino who was driving the car that killed Dave’s wife and daughter. So he decided to get even by plotting to kill Edie. But before he can carry out his plan, Edie is involved in a car accident involving electrical wires.

Stay tuned for more developments as they happen!
