Many of the most shocking TV character deaths work so well because they come as a surprise and disrupt the show’s status quo. ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” had precisely such a demise up its sleeve with the shocking Season 8 death of Mike Delfino (James Denton), the husband of Susan Delfino (Teri Hatcher). Mike’s murder by the shady Donny (Sal Landi) was one of the biggest beats of the show’s final season. However, fans who had been paying attention to events behind the scenes already knew it was coming, thanks to a court case between former “Desperate Housewives” star Nicollette Sheridan and the makers of the show.
