Nicollette Sheridan Granted ‘Desperate Housewives’ Retrial
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Legal Issues, Rivalries,
Nicollette Sheridan has been granted a retrial in her case against Desperate Housewives.
The actress claims she was wrongfully dismissed from the show following arguments with its creator, Marc Cherry, but the first trial ended in a hung jury. The program's makers, ABC Entertainment and Disney, asked the judge to dismiss the case based on evidence that surfaced during trial earlier this year, but a judge has ruled in favor of a retrial.
The new trial is set for September 10, but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Allen White urged them to end the case privately on Wednesday morning. "I very, very strongly urge you to continue settlement discussions," she said.
Nicollette is seeking $5.7 million in damages and $35,000 in sanctions from ABC Entertainment for her treatment on the series, which saw her character, Edie Britt, killed off in season five by being electrocuted. The jury were deadlocked at eight to four in Nicollette's favour during the first trial, which would appear to put her in a strong position to triumph if the case is retried.

Was Nicollette Sheridan really assaulted by her former Desperate Housewives boss…or is she simply desperate for attention?
In a new lawsuit filed Monday, the former ABC actress claims a September 2008 incident between herself and writer Marc Cherry was the reason she was let go from the hit show.
According to the papers, Nicollette was pulled aside and struck in her head and face after she “questioned Cherry about something that was in the script.” Although she supposedly reported the incident to ABC, she was later written out of the program.

How the heck is Michael Bolton supposed to live without Nicollette Sheridan? Again?
Despite a second go-around, the singer and his Desperate Housewives fiancee have decided to go their separate ways. The couple, who were together for 5 years in the mid ‘90s, reunited after a long separation in 2005. They were engaged a year later.
Sheridan’s rep confirmed the split in a statement released today. “Nicollette Sheridan and Michael Bolton have amicably ended their engagement. They appreciate your respect for their privacy in this matter.”
Just this April, Bolton told People why the two hadn’t gotten around to exchanging their vows. “We’re both having a great time. And we’re insanely busy. I don’t ever stop touring and traveling,” Michael explained.
Well, I guess he won’t have to worry about stopping now…
