We revealed earlier this week that Nicolette Sheridan would be leaving Desperate Housewives and now E!Online has leaked details of just how she exits the show.

Word is that Edie Britt will meet her end in her car after escaping from her psycho husband Dave Williams.

A show insider said: “Dave almost does kill her. She runs out of the house but, alas poor Edie gets in an accident, something involving her car and electrical wire.”

E Online also reported that Nicolette only told the rest of the cast she was leaving the show last Wednesday.

Kathryn Joosten, who plays Karen McCluskey, revealed: “She said, ‘Bye, it was really nice working with everybody. It’s been terrific and a real honour.’

“Then we all said, ‘Bye,’ and she said, ‘I have a scene to go do, so let me go study that.’ And that was that. Totally professional.”

Kathryn isn’t sure if Edie dies at the end of the series but says the script seems to imply so.

She said: “There’s an accident. At the very end of it, she falls to the ground and there’s a loose finger. I’m reading it thinking, ‘Wait a minute — does this mean what I think it means?’”
