The drama ended on Wisteria Lane back in May, but the off-screen tension between former “Desperate Housewives” star Nicollette Sheridan and the show’s creator Marc Cherry lingered. That’s because the woman behind Edie Brick can’t seem to give up on her lawsuit against her old bosses at ABC and Touchstone Television.

It all started a few years ago when Sheridan alleged that Cherry hit her in the head while demonstrating how she should play a particular scene. She went on to claim that he fired her because of the incident. The network and the producer held firm in their rebuttal that her character had just run her course. They contended that Edie was simply written out, like so many other actors before and after her in the primetime soap. A two-week trial over the whole mess ended in March with a deadlocked jury and in August her request for a retrial was dismissed.

Still the door was left open for Sheridan to file an amended suit focusing on the notion that she was let go for complaining about her working conditions. That same door was slammed shut in her face this week, when the California Supreme Court rejected her appeal. Sounds like it could be the end of Sheridan’s battle. What do you think: Is Sheridan’s “Desperate Housewives” feud over?

Fight on until she is destitute, that would be sure justice on an otherwise not compelling case.

The show is dead and gone. Leave it be baby and focus elsewhere. She was hardly a major focus of the programme.

I forgot that was still happening, I thought that got resolved years ago. To hold on to something for so long is not healthy.

She may have exhausted her court options, but doubt she'll bury the dispute any time soon.

I really like her but it's easier to find new work than complain about old work. All the lawsuits & complaint don't look good on the resume.

How about freeing up the big wigs time for women who are severely abused or murdered by much worse men? Take yourself out of the situation before you get punched in the fave, and that's the end of it. Sounds like someone's DESPERATE ;)

I would be very very cautious to hire her for any roles on any of my shows. She has hurt her own self instead of using this time to try out for other shows.

I know, but what about diversity? If the liberals want a black woman or a Hispanic in the program, then why can't we have a blonde lady in there? lol

Because any one of the characters could become blonde through the use of hair product, that's how most of them do it anyway.

We're talking about people with the genes for blonde hair. A person with brown hair who dyes their hair does not have blonde hair.

There aren't many blondes on television then.
