The unexpected death of Mike Delfino, husband to Susan Delfino, in the eighth season of "Desperate Housewives" was a significant plot point. However, details emerging from a court case involving former star Nicollette Sheridan foreshadowed this shocking event for those paying close attention.
Sheridan, who portrayed Edie Britt, sued "Desperate Housewives" creator Marc Cherry in 2017, alleging assault and a subsequent forced exit. As part of the legal proceedings in March 2012, testimony revealed details about the show's character death strategy.
During the trial, executive producer George Perkins testified, confirming that Mike Delfino's death was planned and impending. This disclosure occurred during a phase of the lawsuit examining whether other characters of Edie Britt's stature had been killed off after her own departure.
