One of the main Desperate Housewives star is to leave the show in the next series.

Many people expected this to be Edie Britt (eg Nicolette Sheridan) who was seen hanging herself in the last series finale. But although Nicolette’s future has been assured, top sources suggest that one of the other main characters will be leaving.

“Teri Hatcher (Susan Mayer), Eva Longoria (Gabrielle Solis), Marcia Cross (Bree Hodge) or Felicity Huffman (Lynette Scavo) is going to leave,” an insider told the National Ledger. “I don’t think anyone other than [show creator] Marc Cherry and the actress involved know for sure who it is.”
