Sheridan is claiming that Cherry killed off her character in retaliation after she reported the September 24, 2008 incident, which she characterized as a "nice wallop."
Sheridan's attorney Patrick Maloney asked Perkins if there have been any other important characters killed off on the show besides Sheridan's Edie Britt.
'No," Perkins replied, "but now we have. This Sunday we're killing off Mike Delfino."
