Yes, I believe her absence from the show led to slipping ratings. Nicolette's character, Edie, was part of seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, all of which landed in the top 10 TV shows, according to Nielsen TV ratings. Season 6 was the first season in which she was not a part of, and it slipped from #9 in season 5 (2008/2009) to #20 in season 6 (2009/2010.) Coincidence, I don't think so.
