Is “Desperate Housewives” Saying Farewell To Someone?
Viewers were caught off guard by the “Desperate Housewives” season finale when Edie left Wisteria Lane. Fans are curious as to what plot twist they are going to expect in the up-coming season and whether or not Nicollette Sheridan’s character will return. Could this have been her final farwell?
For weeks, rumors swirled that Sheridan was out of the show. Both ABC and Sheridan’s publicist, Nicole Perna, have been tightlipped in response to inquiries about her imminent departure. But creator and executive producer Marc Cherry was slightly more forthcoming. Yes, Edie’s gone, he told The Associated Press on Friday. Then he added: “She won’t be back for a few years.”
“We do three more seasons and then it’s done,” he said with a chuckle. “I will tear down all the sets personally. “I want to be sure that when we leave the air, people still care.”
However, the only thing that most of us are thinking about is whether or not Edie will return in the future. Perhaps Cherry will use the ‘flash forward’ narrative plot to bring her back. For now we will have to wait until the next season to know for sure.
