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.

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.”

Josie Bissett Returns to Melrose Place
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip
Next season, Melrose Place viewers will get a triple dose of nostalgia for their viewing pleasure. Actress Josie Bissett, a.k.a. Jane Andrews Mancini, is now the latest veteran to return to the famous address.
Bissett, one of the FOX series’ original members, played wife to Thomas Calabro (Dr. Michael Mancini) and sister to Laura Leighton (Sydney Andrews). Both of those actors have already been cast in CW’s update. Although it’s unclear how long Josie’s run will be, she’s currently scheduled to appear in at least one. (I’m assuming her arrival will have something to do with the season’s shocking plotline.)

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…

Melrose Place Welcomes Back Thomas Calabro
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video
What would a Sydney Andrews return be without Michael Mancini by her side? Thankfully, we won’t have to find out.
Thomas Calabro, who played Dr. Michael Mancini on the entire run of Melrose Place, has just been added to CW’s version of the show. This news comes one day after Laura Leighton’s name was officially attached.
Although it’s unclear whether Michael and Sydney will reunite (does he even know that his ex-wife is still alive?), he will have a connection to at least one other person on the program. According to People, Calabro will also play father to David Patterson (actress Shaun Sipos). It was previously reported that David would actually be the son of Jake Hansen (veteran Grant Show).

Laura Leighton Returns to Melrose Place
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip
Sorry, Lisa Rinna. It doesn’t look like your services will be needed anytime soon.
They might not have been able to secure Heather Locklear for their Melrose Place reboot, but the CW has just resurrected someone from the dead. Ashlee-Simpson Wentz will now be checking in with another redhead - veteran Laura Leighton - when it comes time to pay the rent.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the actress who played the deliciously bad Sydney Andrews from 1993-97 will be brought on as the update’s landlord. This despite Sydney’s supposed death by car at the end of Season 5. (You can see that clip after the jump.) There’s been no word as to how she will suddenly reappear after being MIA from the program’s last two seasons. (Ooh - will she be secretly hiding a scar under her wig like Kimberly?)
Andrews, like Kelly Taylor on 90210, is being listed as a recurring character.
