Nicollette Sheridan leaving Desperate Housewives this year

Edie Britt will no longer be with us next season as Nicollette Sheridan is leaving Desperate Housewives this year. After the announcement that Katherine Heigl and TR Knight will leave Grey's Anatomy comes this piece of similar news. ABC made the announcement recently.

Sheridan, who has been with Desperate Housewives since the series debuted five seasons ago plays sexy vamp Edie Britt in the show, often a source of trouble and scandal. But sadly, it looks like the creators of the dramedy are set to inject something new for next season and this is the reason why Edie Britt

will be leaving. They did the same thing with the five-year jump in the show's story last season. However, it is not clear how Edie Britt will go. Nothing in the statement made by creator Marc Cherry in an interview earlier this year mentioned the reason why, although he had already made hints as early as then that Nicollette Sheridan will be leaving, saying that her actions "will have devastating consequences for her and lead to a shocking conclusion to her time on Wisteria Lane."

There are reports of an accident Edie will face towards the end of the season. It is rumored that Edie will find out that her husband has plans to kill her. As she hurriedly makes her escape, she hits an electric pole and dies. What a way to go for Edie if this "leak" is true. This will reportedly happen towards the end of the season. For now, let's just wait and see what happens, and watch the preview of their next episode, Desperate Housewives season 5 episode 15: 'In a World Where the Kings Are Employers'.
