You can call her a lot of things, but husband stealer is not one of them: “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” cries Nicollette Sheridan concerning rumors that she will be stealing one very married man on Wisteria Lane during February sweeps. Her vampy Edie of “Desperate Housewives” has been known for poaching.
“Now people will get the wrong idea. Edie is not evil,” Sheridan says. “She just has fewer boundaries than other women.”
As for the character of Susan, played by Teri Hatcher, she also will remain fair game. “Edie will never leave Susan alone,” Sheridan says. “But really, Susan is the one who does all the dreadful things. She has too many men. She lies. She burned down my house! Did I say that she lies?
“Edie is a straight shooter,” Sheridan says. “She’s not a backstabber.” She pauses and adds, “She’s also a snappy dresser.”
Much like her character, Sheridan says what’s on her mind. Here’s what she had to get off her chest about her life, movies and her engagement to Michael Bolton.
