Hatcher makes 'Housewives' scrapbook

Teri Hatcher has created a Desperate Housewives scrapbook for departing co-star Nicollette Sheridan.

Earlier this year, Sheridan announced that she was leaving the ABC series at the end of season five.

Praising the actress's performances as Edie Brit, Hatcher told Us Weekly: "She will definitely be missed. I think she is irreplaceable, but I do think that a neighbourhood, kind of like an ER, is a place where people rotate through.

"There are so many great actors and so many storylines imaginable that there has to be a way to fill and surprise the audience with something new."

Speaking about the scrapbook, she added: "I pulled pictures from all the different seasons and magazine articles and quotes, shots from the awards - everything we've all done together over the five years."

James Denton, who plays Mike Delfino, also revealed that he will miss Sheridan's presence on set.

"She is so much fun, she is great," he said. "The way she handled it made it very bearable. She was so classy and funny. She made it much easier for everybody."

Meanwhile, Dana Delaney downplayed Sheridan's complaints that her character was not given enough attention by show creator Marc Cherry.

"You know, it's a huge cast. It's easy to say that," said Delaney. "But I think she had as much screen time as anybody else did."
