For those of you reeling from the lack of Desperate Housewives on television the past few weeks, a new episode airs two Sundays from now on April 19, and the buzz is it’s a doozy.  One of the main characters from the program since the first episode, Edie Britt, will be leaving Wisteria Lane for good (not counting flashbacks of course).  Nicollette Sheridan has been the only original actress from the show never to receive an Emmy nomination for her work on Desperate Housewives, though she did receive a Golden Globe nomination back in 2005.  Teri Hatcher told People magazine it’s going to be a great episode and a worthy farewell to Edie.

Though she bids farewell, Hatcher promises Sheridan’s final stroll down Wisteria Lane, airing April 19 (when the show returns from hiatus), is full of emotional raw acting as the women look back on Edie’s life. “It was a fabulously written episode,” says Hatcher. “She should get nominated for an Emmy.”

Newbie to Wisteria Lane (and personally, my new favorite Housewife) Dana Delany told E! Online:

“Her final episode is really beautiful, and it involves a lot of flashbacks,” Delany told us last night at the Geffen Playhouse’s annual fundraiser, Backstage at the Geffen. “We did a flashback scene from five years ago.”

As I tend to get overly emotional about the deaths of my favorite television characters (Nate’s funeral on Six Feet Under had me under my covers in my basement sobbing like a baby), I’m afraid to watch on the 19th. But I wouldn’t dare miss it.

Let’s take a moment to remember one of the better Edie Britt moments on Wisteria Lane.
