INTERVIEW: DAYS' James Scott (EJ)"I was very, very, very upset to see Thaao leave the show! I have seen other people come and go, but I was particularly sorry to see him go. I love Thaao Penghlis. He is a wonderful actor. He is great to work with on set, and he can be the most difficult bugger, but that’s his charm. I really was very sad to hear it and to see it, and upset indeed! He was one of those actors that just bring something. You know, a level you don’t often find. You can give him terrible material and he will always come back with something, and he will give you something that is compelling. They were not making any choices based on quality of performances when they let him go, because he just rises above other people. I am not saying everybody. But, if you saw the Emmy nominations from last year, it was breathtaking and wonderful to see his work. I think it’s sad, and a great shame, and I wish they could have found some way around it. I think it’s a great loss for the show."

She is according to Michael Ausiello: "They really killed the ol' broad this time. But Edie returns in a big way in the April 19 episode via newly-created flashbacks with each of the main housewives. It'll be just like the 100th episode, only swap out Beau Bridges and insert Nicollette Sheridan."
