"Desperate Housewives" actress Nicollette Sheridan tells TV Guide Magazine that killing off her character, Edie Britt, could have "devastating ramifications" for the show.
She tells the publication of her character's relationship with the show's creator Marc Cherry, "I think 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."
Nicollette says, for her, "Desperate Housewives" started to change. "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."
Marc says the show has been having financial troubles and according to TV Guide Magazine, cutting Nicollette will save the show $100-$200,000 an episode. "There has been tremendous pressure put on me to cut costs& the network is saying to all the shows, 'The company is really hurting financially. You must find a way to produce these shows more cheaply,'" he tells TV Guide Magazine.
He continues, "Edie already slept with most of the guys on the street and has caused about as many problems as she could. & We will find a new kind of sexiness coming through Wisteria Lane. What I won't do is cast another fortysomething sexy blonde. & [Nicollette] performed the aging neighborhood tramp better than anyone has ever done before."
