"Desperate Housewives": Edie Finally Gets Some Love

Finally, “Desperate Housewives” gave Edie a decent storyline.

Too bad she had to die to get it…

Tonight’s episode finally made Edie a character worth caring about as each Housewife told a sweet story about Edie as they prepared to tell her son, Travers, about her death. Each story defined her character beyond the neighborhood slut we had come to know over the last five years.

It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to the character, a character that Nicollette Sheridan claims in the new “TV Guide” was modeled after someone series creator Marc Cherry didn’t like.

That’s only one of the interesting revelations in this week’s cover story that details some of the difficulties Sheridan created on set and Cherry’s logic behind killing the character.
