7 Most Shocking TV Deaths in Midseason

21 May 2009 3:00 AM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

It has become a readable trait that producers decide to kill a character or two to bring a twist of story or when they meet a dead end for the character's development. Throughout this midseason, deaths in the finales seem to be a popular option among the writers, most probably due to recession.

Many are eliminating the secondary characters but not a few decide to let go the main character. But which has the biggest shock value? Find out.

#7 Jenny Schecter - "The L Word"   Cause of Death: Drown

In a rather non-traditional pattern, "The L Word" presented death at the beginning of the season, tracing backwards to how Jenny's life was taken out of her, and most importantly, who contributed to it. Then, it was apparent in the season finale that all of the women had motives in killing Jenny but ultimately it came down to a form of suicide.

ABC Unveils Next Season Pickups

23 April 2009 12:03 PM, PDT | From www.actressarchives.com | See recent Actress Archives news

ABC just announced which shows they'll be keeping around for next season. So which of your favorites made the cut? On the predictable side were their six heavy-hitting dramas - "Lost," "Grey's Anatomy," "Private Practice," "Desperate Housewives," "Ugly Betty" and "Brothers & Sisters." Seeing as the network confirmed a while ago that "Lost" was going to stick around until 2010, that was no surprise, while "Grey's Anatomy" and its spin-off "Private Practice" have both continued to enjoy success in their slots. The future of "Desperate Housewives" is starting to look a little questionable now that they axed Nicollette Sheridan due t ...

Sheridan's Exit Ratings Less Than Electrifying - Spoiler!

22 April 2009 12:17 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Nicollette Sheridan's departure from Desperate Housewives failed to pull in the ratings TV bosses had hoped for - the episode attracted 1.3 million less viewers than the season average.

Sheridan bowed out of her role as TV siren Edie Brit in the U.S. on Sunday, with her character being killed off in a dramatic car crash involving a power pole.

But the show's ratings were less than electrifying - ABC chiefs were stunned to find the star's climatic demise failed to persuade viewers to tune in.

The show's latest season has seen an average U.S. audience of 15.2 million, but Sheridan's exit only pulled in 13.9 million, according to Nielseon Media Research.

But network executives have put the lower figures down to a month-long break between original episodes.

Sheridan was cut from the show to cut costs, with show creator Marc Cherry admitting he had been put under "tremendous pressure" to scale down the series' budgets.

The move didn't sit well with the actress, who warned: "(Killing off Edie) was a risky decision that could have devastating ramifications."

Teri Hatcher has created a Desperate Housewives scrapbook for departing co-star Nicollette Sheridan.

"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." Speaking about the scrapbook, she added: "I pulled pictures from all the different seasons and magazine (more)

Hatcher Makes Gift For Departing Sheridan

19 April 2009 4:07 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher made a scrapbook for recently departed co-star Nicollette Sheridan as a keepsake of their time working together.

Sheridan's final episode in which her character Edie Britt is killed off airs in America on Sunday night.

Her co-stars paid tribute her during a panel discussion about the show at the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles, where Hatcher revealed details of her gift.

According to People.com, the former Bond girl says, "I made a scrapbook as my sort of parting gift, and it reminded me of how great those two characters (Hatcher's Susan and Sheridan's Edie) were together."

The cast of Desperate Housewives has been surrounded by rumours of feuds between the female leads, but when the news of Sheridan's departure broke Hatcher scoffed at reports it was because her co-star was unpopular.
