LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Who kills Edie Britt? "Desperate Housewives" star Neal McDonough told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush in an interview for Access and "The Billy Bush Show" that he would be the one to do in his on-screen wife.

"I had to do something nasty to my wife in the show," he said.

And Neal, who plays Dave Williams - a character with multiple personalities -- on the ABC show, said it wasn't easy to knock off Nicollette Sheridan .

"It was hard for me because Nic played my wife all year and she has become such a great friend," he said.

And according to him, her death gets pretty grizzly.

"I go hunting in the woods and I'm not hunting for deer," he said. "[It's] a little WWE."

The star added that his murderous role has raised his profile with fans - but not necessarily in a positive way.

"Before this, people knew who I was but now it's, 'You're the son of a bitch who messed with Mrs. McLusky, you're the guy who's killing Edie,'" he said.

He may not win over fans anytime soon, hinting that he may have more killing to do.

"I'm not saying who I'm whacking," he said.

"Do you take out Mike [Delfino, played by James Denton]?" Billy asked him.

"Not in this episode," he said, adding, "I'm sworn to secrecy!"

    the only reason I started watching Housewives was because of Nicollette Sheridan. I was hoping to see some "STRIP CROUQUET ala Knots Landing!!!!! They have lost me as a fan. Some of the things out of her mouth were things I would think, but not have the guts to say.

    I'm so sad. Please, please keep Edie, the show won be the same without her. Kill Susan she is so boring. Is anything we (all Edie's fan) can do so save Edie? Please keep Edie's life, she is such a funny girl

    Cannot believe that "Life on Mars" is being cancelled. Maybe a better time slot would help the show. It is great and the lead character is perfect. Too bad!!!
