The residents of Wisteria Lane were on a roll. By the time Desperate Housewives was approaching season 8, it was on top of the world. So it was a shock to just about everyone when, during the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, ABC and Housewives creator Marc Cherry announced they were pulling the plug on the show, because as Cherry put it, he didn't want to overstay his welcome.

I feel so good about it. But Cherry may have overstayed his welcome on Desperate Housewives before that. Deadline says Cherry was dropped as executive producer at the end of Season 7, but he was kept on as a consultant for Season 8 while working on the development of other series. Over the course of the show's eight seasons, fans watched as one disaster after the next befell the supremely unlucky residents of the outwardly quaint neighborhood while gossip about on-set behavior provided plenty of fodder for tabloids.

In September of that year, she revealed that she'd successfully completed treatment for anal cancer, which she later shared was linked to the throat cancer her longtime husband Tom Mahoney was diagnosed with in , possibly through the same type of HPV.

With the show's four other female leads vowing to support Cherry, the original trial was deemed a mistrial, with Sheridan's attempts as an appeal denied. Since leaving the series, she's starred in a trio of Hallmark films and briefly joined the cast of The CW's Dynasty as the iconic Alexis Carrington before departing 15 episodes into the show's second season. In December , she married Aaron Phypers and quickly filed for divorce the following July, Phypers went on to marry Denise Richards, appearing alongside her in the latest season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
