Edie Britt is the name of a fictional character on the ABC Series Desperate Housewives portrayed by Nicolette Sheridan.
Nicolette Sheridan portrays "Edie Britt" who is a man-hungry real estate agent and serial divorcee. Edie is fiercely competitive both romantically and professionally, having declared no other Realtor sells in the neighborhood but herself.
It is revealed that she's still interested in trying to move in on Mike and she attempts to steal Mike Delfino away when not having sex with someone else. In the pilot episode, Martha Huber mentions Edie having a son but he is never seen or mentioned again. Edie began dating Karl Mayer soon after Julie's birthday party. More recently Edie has invited Karl to move in with her to her new home on Wisteria Lane much to the displeasure of Susan Mayer (Karl's former wife). Edie discovers that Karl had an affair with Susan, and takes revenge by burning down Susan's house. She admits to Susan that she burned down her home and Susan successfully gets proof of this by using a wire. Edie starts to get into a physical fight with Susan over the wire tape, and gets stung by yellowjackets. Susan attempts to make a deal with Edie to try and stop the release of the tape, but Edie refuses.
