Talk:Edie Britt

Last Appearance Notice

If there is to be any concern about spoilers on this page (as the alert would suggest), then the final episode note should be changed.

Bold text==Edie Britt vs "Edie Britt"== We are have to figure out what to do with the fictional Edie Britt and the actual Edie Britt. You can't say that Nicolette Sheridan is portraying Edie as her character isn't a psychic medium... she's a promiscuous real estate agent. The factual info shouldn't be at the top either. If anything it should be trivia (eg see Andrew Van De Kamp as he is loosely based on Marc Cherry). Short of that, the real Ms Britt could always just create her own page instead of using the fictional character to gain publicity. Originalsinner 03:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear OriginalSinner: I appreciate your concerns, however I am well known nationally and internationally. I am not attempting to gain publiclity. I would hope that people realize that there is no suggestion of any connection between myself and the fictional character. I have been in business for 27 years as a minister and spiritual advisor, and the fictional character has only been around for a bit. I am not a tv personality, nor am I a man hungry realtor. I have clients in England, Australia, Dubai, United States, Canada and many other countries. I have no desire to do anything but humbly continue my work, while correcting the facts.

On the Wiki page it states that Nicolette Sheridan is portraying the fictional character ABC Series Edie Britt, not me. Thats quite clear. I think most people are intelligent enough to see the difference. The TV series is fun, but certainly factual info should always override trivial Television information. What has our world come to when trivia overrides reality?

I hope you can understand.

Namaste and peace,

I've split the page, but would expect it to be userfied at some point. Ms Britt, it would serve your purposes better - and Wikipedias - if you sed this information on your User page, rather than as a Wikipedia article. Realise that anyone can edit a wikipedia article, and by creating your own page you leave yourself open to the page being altered in ways that you do not necessarily wish. Creating your own WP page is like inviting the paparazzi in to rummage through your house. Have a good look at both WP:AUTO and WP:VAIN for more information. Blessed be, Grutness...wha? 02:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MM Grutness, I like the edit, and think its a good solution. It ends the idea that people might think Nicolette Sheridan is portraying me, and also allows others to see that there is a real Edie Britt, if they want to. If not, they can ignore it.

I don't know what userfied means, and I am actually having a difficult time navigating Wikipedia. There seems to be so many different areas for this sort of discussion. I am still learning how it all works.

I appreciate the edit, and the education. I suppose that small one liner I put in about who I am will suffice and if there is continued difficulty with it, I can delete it, is that correct?

Thanks for the help. Edie BrittEdie Britt 15:03, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article about the spiritual advisor is up for deletion. If it ends up getting deleted, we won't have to worry about this anymore, and if it's kept, the link to the spiritual advisor should remain on the DH character page. Cheater1908 00:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's been deleted, so we don't need to worry about that anymore. Cheater1908 17:41, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The citation link at the end of the article is invalid.

Serial Divorcee?

Somebody please explain to me how divorcing 2 men is considered a problem? Erica Kane married 10 and she isn't classified as one! 72.82.22.247 06:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She is too. 89.138.173.5 19:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edie Britt appearance

Edie Britt died on the last episode of the third season of Desperate Housewives, should there be a "Last appearance" in the information column? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.1.131.191 (talk) 17:50, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

She committed suicide but will not die, see the article and reference within. --Kudret abi 01:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The 5th Lead??? I don't think so...

Well she did replace Bree in series 3 for a short while but now she has gone back to being more of a supporting character, in Series 4 for example, she is just part of Gabriele's story and has considerabley less screen time. She dosen't even appear on the opening sequence with the others. The closest she has ever been to the 5th lead is when she replaced Bree for the time she was written out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Super Badnik (talk • contribs) 09:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Charles; ex-husband?

Does anyone else think its Edie's time to get married? I think she should re-unite with her ex-husband charles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.221.176 (talk) 03:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you posting your desires towards the show's storylines on Wikipedia? This isn't a fan forum. -- Renaboss (talk) 00:28, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it true that Edie Britt really moved away from Wisteria Lane?

Is it true that Edie Britt really moved away from Wisteria Lane in the episode Mother Said? AdamDeanHall (talk) 13:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name

It is mentioned in the third season that her full name is Edith. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.221.176 (talk) 05:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Her name should be changed to Edith "Edie" Britt —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.221.176 (talk) 21:39, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When is it stated that she's Edith? And even so, she is widely known as Edie Britt, the page shouldn't be Edith "Edie" Britt, that's ridiculous. -- Renaboss (talk) 00:29, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is Edie Britt really coming back in Season 5 of Desperate Housewives?

Tell me something I don't really know: Is Edie Britt really coming back in Season 5 of Desperate Housewives? AdamDeanHall (talk) 17:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edie Britt in a swimsuit

Yesterday I saw a behind-the-scenes look at the new season of Desperate Housewives, and I got a glimpse of Edie Britt in a swimsuit. If Edie's in a swimsuit, where is she going to find a pool to swim in? AdamDeanHall (talk) 20:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Throughout seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 Edie drives a Nissan 350z Roadster. During season 4 she has a Jaguar XK Roadster for the day but returns it to a dealer. In season 5, she drives a Lexus SC.
