Melrose Place: Murderer Revealed! (And Promptly Murdered)
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Video,
Melrose Place dished out helpings of murder, sex and a few unexpected plot twists last night. Sure, the episode had its faults…but most of them can be overlooked in light of all the interesting developments. Not to mention, viewers finally got what they’ve been waiting for: an out-and-out catfight that revealed Sydney’s true killer. Now that was fairly well scripted - though Michael’s wife was such a minor character, we probably should have been it coming.
That’s right - it was Brooke Burns who took down Laura Leighton (Sydney Andrews, who was murdered at the beginning of the pilot episode) after a vicious verbal fight that drove her over the edge. Finally, a flashback scene that was really worth watching. More of Amanda Woodward’s (Heather Locklear) motives for returning to the Place were revealed as well - it has something to do with some painting worth millions.
Much more interesting things happened in the episode…

Preview Heather Locklear’s Melrose Place Return
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video,
Who better to turn a dying show around than a skilled publicist?
In just three days, Heather Locklear will attempt to do what Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bissett and Daphne Zuniga couldn’t: bring Melrose Place ratings.
Will Amanda Woodward make audiences stand at attention like the staffers at WPK? Or will she be put in her place like that other blonde (Katie Cassidy). We’ll know soon enough.
You can watch Locklear’s return on Tuesday, November 17.

Jessica Simpson Angrily Twitters @Melrose
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video,
“who writes this crap?” Jessica Simpson recently demanded of her Twitter-reading audience, after noting that “CW catching up on MP.” That stands for Melrose Place, the show which recently fired Jess’ little sister Ashlee (and after they pimped her out as their main promo, too).
“i have had bad scripts to work with, but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press.” Simpson continued to fire away.

Ashlee Simpson Talks Melrose Place, Then and Now
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video,
Ashlee Simpson appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night to talk about Melrose Place, both the original and new version. Simpson plays Violet Foster on the show, a character who quickly loses her innocence while living in the steamy sexpot inhabited by a crew of deviants.
The two talked about past plots, returning characters and not much else. Fallon, like many former Melrose watchers, is anxiously awaiting the return of Heather Locklear. She has not been confirmed as returning to the show, but she hasn’t stepped forward to say she won’t do it, either.
Melrose Place premieres September 8 on The CW.

Preview Clips of CW’s Melrose Place
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Video,
Come this fall, old Melrose Place fans will probably experience a sense of déjà vu. Why? Because CW’s reboot will air on Tuesdays right after the network’s revival of 90210. Could it be any more 1992?
After watching all three preview clips, feel free to scroll down further if you’re interested in learning a spoiler…

No Melrose Place for Heather Locklear
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip,
If CW was hoping to give a big name boost to its Melrose Place remake, the network will have to try a bit harder.
Although many were counting on an appearance from Heather Locklear, the newbies will just have to do without Amanda Woodward. According to Entertainment Weekly, the FOX veteran decided against joining the series. An insider claims there simply “wasn’t a way to bring her back that made sense.” (I didn’t realize that was a requirement for CW’s reboots.)
As disappointing as this news might be, the network should not give up hope. Heather might not be interested in carrying the show once again, but there’s at least one other vet who’s willing to try: Lisa Rinna. The former Days of Our Lives star told E! Online back in January that she’s “available” to resurrect her old character (Taylor McBride) at any time. Yippee!
Those confirmed for the cast so far include Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Jessica Lucas (90210), Michael Rady (Swingtown), and Katie Cassidy (Supernatural).

Ashlee Simpson Moving to Melrose Place
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Rumors,
Sources say that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz will soon be joining the cast of Melrose Place on the CW. She’s the first big name to become a confirmed cast member and a decent coup for the network, which already made waves by bringing us the refreshed 90210.
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz will play Violet, a character from a small town who seems very sweet and naïve…but she’s really clever, cunning and catty. Sounds perfect. The singer previously worked as a regular cast member on the squeaky-clean 7th Heaven.
