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…

Ashlee Simpson Gets Naked in Upcoming Melrose Episode
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video,
Colin Egglesfield is spilling all the secrets now that he’s been ousted from Melrose Place - or, he just wants to make sure he gets plenty of exposure before he’s off the air. According to the actor who plays murder suspect Auggie Kirkpatrick, he and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz had to get practically naked to film one of their scenes together.
In the episode, the two are “both wearing half-loin clothes that they had to tape to us.” Tell me more! “There are very few clothes involved in the near future,” Egglesfield added.
According to an unnamed source - not Egglesfield - the pair will have two sex scenes in upcoming episodes. (Both actors will be leaving the series right around unlucky episode 13, so set your DVR).

Jessica Simpson Angrily Twitters @Melrose

“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.

Colin Egglesfield on His Melrose Move
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Rumors, Spoilers, Video,
“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.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, News,
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.

Melrose Place Premieres with a Shriek: Review
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Editorial, Gossip, Video,
The CW’s premiere of Melrose Place, the new version, did everything it was supposed to do…even if it did rely upon a few shopworn plot ideas to do it. There was much less shock factor and much more slick appeal than what was to be expected. But at the end of the episode, enough loose ends were left hanging to keep audiences coming back for more.
To sum it up, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s acting was bad, Sydney’s part was pretty small and the blonde girl? Completely unlikable so far - but definitely a diva worth hating.

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.

Melrose Place to Resurrect - Then Kill - Sydney
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Spoilers,
Original Melrose Place viewers got quite a shock in 1997 when Sydney Andrews (Laura Leighton) was tragically killed on her wedding day. But viewers of the new series will see her brought back from the grave…only to return to that same grave shortly into the first episode.
Sydney will be found floating in the pool just after she’s brought back to life. It’s the sort of thing that could only happen at Melrose Place.
“It will feel nostalgic, but it’s not the old Melrose,” said Todd Slavkin, one of the show’s writers. “Sydney’s death in the first 10 minutes…means anything could happen.”

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).
