Why Did Edie Die?

Just because Edie Britt has been killed off “Desperate Housewives,” that doesn’t mean Nicolette Sheridan is going away quietly.

In an interview with TV Guide, the actress blames the show’s producers, especially Marc Cherry, for her character’s demise. “Somebody up there really wanted her dead.

“I think that whoever Edie represented in Marc’s life was somebody he didn’t like. And he had a very difficult time distinguishing between fact and fiction.”

Meow!  Cherry blames the network’s demands for budget cuts, claiming someone had to go. He had decisions to make, and since Edie was never one of the four principal “Housewives,” she was expendable. He added. “What characters do I need to go forward? Edie’s already slept with most of the guys on the street and has caused about as many problems as she could.”

Only on a soap does a character get offed because there are no more cast members left for her to have sex with. Hey, what about Lynette’s twins? We know one of then digs cougars. Well, it’s too late now.
