— Warning: Spoilers ahead.

The "Desperate Housewives" may soon find themselves one friend short.

According to TV Guide Magazine, Nicollette Sheridan, who plays blonde bombshell real-estate agent Edie Britt, will be leaving the hit ABC show.

Sheridan's character started off the season newly married to a man calling himself Dave Williams. The show revealed that Williams is not his real name, and the man is seeking revenge on fellow Wisteria Lane resident Mike Delfino, who was driving the other car in an accident that killed Williams' wife and young daughter.

Ted Casablanca of E! Online reveals that Williams plots to kill Britt, but before he can do so, she is involved in a car accident involving electrical wire.

There's no word yet on when the episode involving Britt's departure will air.

Sheridan was not one of the core four "Housewives," roles played by Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Teri Hatcher, but her loud-mouthed, flashy character has been a constant presence and is popular with fans.

Edie was sharp, witty, and wasn't afraid to show her vulnerable side. She spoke up and spoke down, just what some of the characters residing on Wisteria Lane needed from time to time. She wanted to be loved and recognized and wasn't afraid to let people know, but, i think she would have rather not wanted to have to instigate intimacy.

She was definitely "hot" but her character made her that much more appealing. Probably a matter personal preferance.

I will be sorry to see her go and hope that they write her end in a way that isn't definite.
