HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Nicollette Sheridan's days of living on Wisteria Lane are coming to an end.
The 45-year-old actress is leaving ABC's "Desperate Housewives" after five seasons, a rep for the star confirmed to TV Guide.
"[Nicollette] had a great time on the show and is looking forward to her next project," a rep for Sheridan said in a statement.
There has been no official word from the network on how Sheridan's character, real estate agent Edie Britt, will depart the smash series, but E! News reports that she will be killed off in an accident involving a car and an electrical wire.
Kathryn Joosten, who stars as Karen McCluskey on the show, told E! that Sheridan broke the news to the cast yesterday afternoon, calling her exit remarks "totally professional."
Sheridan has starred on the series since its debut in 2004, although her screen time has often been less than her fellow co-stars — Eva Longoria Parker, Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman.
