Her Desperate Housewives character may have been electricuted to death following a car accident but Nicolette Sheridan is alive and well.

With more time on her hands than ever before, the 45-year-old out-of-work actress was seen dropping by a shoe store in Beverly Hills today (April 23). She was accompanied by an unidentified male companion — possibly a new love interest.

For those of you desperately hoping the dearly departed character might make a sudden back-to-life comeback (perhaps during the season finale), prepare to be disappointed. During the recent cast panel, producer Marc Cherry said that as long as he can use flashbacks to bring his dead characters back onscreen and flesh out their storylines/unanswered questions that way, he has no plans to rouse anyone from their dirt nap.

Claiming that he doesn’t want to venture into soap opera territory, he added: “When I kill them, I like them to stay dead.”

R.I.P. Eeds!
