Teri Hatcher Makes Nicollette Sheridan a Goodbye Scrapbook

Nicollette Sheridan 's character Edie Brit finally bit the bullet on Sunday's Desperate Housewives.

Her death took place in the first few minutes of the episode: She was driving home and crashed into a utility pole.

"To add insult to injury, I was electrocuted!" Edie said in a voiceover. "What can I say ... it was one of those days."

As all the housewives gathered around, Edie said, "I died just like I lived ... as the complete and utter center of attention!"

The rest of a show (which was narrated by Sheridan) was a eulogy to the character, flashing back to various shenanigans she got into with the other housewives.

"She will definitely be missed," Teri Hatcher told Usmagazine.com over the weekend. "I think she is irreplaceable, but I do think that a neighborhood, kind of like an ER, is a place where people rotate through. There are so many great actors and so many storylines imaginable that there has to be a way to fill and surprise the audience with something new."

Hatcher said she made Sheridan a scrapbook before she left.

"I pulled pictures from all the different seasons and magazine articles and quotes, shots from the awards - everything we've all done together over the five years," she said.

James Denton will also miss Sheridan on the set.

"She is so much fun, she is great," he said. "The way she handled it made it very bearable. She was so classy and funny. She made it much easier for everybody."

Sheridan recently complained to TV Guide that she felt creator Marc Cherry ignored her on the show and that that was one of the reasons why she was leaving.

But costar Dana Delaney tells Us, "You know, it's a huge cast. It's easy to say that, but I think she had as much screen time as anybody else did."

Can you believe these stars are in their 40s?

Cherry claimed to TV Guide that Sheridan's storyline simply ran out.

"Thats what Marc said," Delaney told Us. "We are all actors, and we are used to going after the next job."
