!Tropes

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: In 2004, she starred in an infamous ''Series/MondayNightFootball'' pre-show skit as a takeoff of Edie Britt character on ''Series/DesperateHousewives''. Sheridan, in-character as Edie and dressed only in a ModestyTowel, enters the Philadelphia Eagles locker room and seduces wide receiver Creator/TerrellOwens by [[DressHitsFloor dropping said towel]]. The skit was very controversial at the time, yet ''Desperate Housewives'' next episode posted the show's highest ratings to date.
* FashionModel: She began her career as a fashion model.
* HostilityOnTheSet: In April 2010, Nicollette Sheridan sued Marc Cherry (producer of ''Desperate Housewives'') for twenty million dollars on charges of assault and battery, gender violence, wrongful termination, and "intentional infliction of emotional distress". She said that Cherry created a hostile working environment, and behaved unprofessionally towards her on and off-set and her character of Edie was soon got DroppedABridgeOnHim. She was noticeably the only actress not to return as [[TheCameo a ghost cameo]] in the GrandFinale.
* MsFanservice: Her roles usually play off her sex appeal.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Paige was promoted to the opening credits in Season 10 of ''Knots Landing''.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Edie's sudden death in Season 5 of ''Desperate Housewives'' was orchestrated to write the character out of the show due to Nicolette being on [[HostilityOnTheSet increasingly bad terms]] with producer Creator/MarkCherry.
