“I’ve had better days, to be quite honest,” Colin Egglesfield, the resident hot guy on Melrose Place, sat down recently to talk about his departure from the show - a decision he says took him by surprise.

The CW has claimed that it was part of the show’s plan all along to be rid of both Egglesfield and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who will also be leaving Melrose Place. Egglesfield, however, tells a different story. “Obviously the ratings aren’t what they need or want them to be, so they’re [the network] going to try things to shake things up.”

Move over dead weight. it’s time to make room for Amanda Woodward.

By early next year, you can expect to see a number of changes on Melrose Place. It seems Laura Leighton won’t be the only cast member to make a quick exit from the freshman drama this season; the ratings-challenged program will soon say goodbye to another two characters.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer confirmed that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (Violet Foster) and Colin Egglesfield (Auggie Kirkpatrick) will both exit the series in January. Their final appearances will come shortly after the murder mystery comes to a close.

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.
