Anger didn't factor into the decision to kill off Nicollette Sheridan's role on 'Desperate Housewives,' despite her complaints that her boss hit her on the set, the show's creator testified Thursday.

Desperate Housewives Producer: Nicollette Sheridan Was 'Emotional,' Late '50 Percent of the Time'

Marc Cherry's camp continued Friday to paint a picture of Nicollette Sheridan as a disruptive force on the Desperate Housewives set.
Executive producer George Perkins, who dropped a heck of a spoiler bomb on the stand yesterday, continued his testimony this morning-alas, he didn't have any more plot twists to offer.
What Perkins said was that, in his opinion, the incident that Sheridan is now suing Cherry over seemed 'minor' at the time, based on his conversations with the actress.

'I know Nicollette is emotional at times,' Perkins said. 'I felt that emotion played a part...I felt that it was a misunderstanding between somebody trying to give a direction and the actor herself.'
Perkins said that Sheridan told him soon afterward that Cherry had already apologized once, but that she wanted a second apology and flowers.
