Edie's death may have CONTRIBUTED to the decline in ratings, but I don't think it LED to it all by itself. There's a difference. Season 5 sucked donkey butt when compared to the first four seasons. That would, I believe, be the main factor behind the ratings slip. Season 6 wasn't all that great either.

And who said she wasn't a part of the main cast? She was a titular housewife, even. The show has exactly five central characters, the four core protagonists and the narrator. Edie and all the other housewives don't count as 'central'. But she was still a part of the main cast of characters for five seasons straight. Who said she wasn't?
