Melrose Place

For some reason, I suddenly remembered my love for Melrose Place. It could've been the 20 something videos I just watched on YouTube, but I really miss this damn show and thank God for Soapnet. I just wonder what they could do for a reunion show. I remember watching the E! True Hollywood Story: Melrose Place and most of the cast said they would be willing to return for a reunion special. WHERE IS IT?

Anyway, I know there are several fans of Melrose Place. So I created a place for people to just come in, reflect and express their Melrose love.

Lets remember why Mondays were such a b*tch :D

Definitely, in my top ten favorite shows ever made. Ever. A DAMN good show. I never missed a freaking episode, and reruns on Soapnet are equally addicting.

I've been rewatching it this year after getting the whole series and am now up to season 7. It's not a classic by any means but viewing it a second time, I'd forgotten how much entertaining stuff there still is. Lexi being a total slut, crazy Eve, Jane and Michael [!@#$%^&*]ing over past misdeeds (though Alex Bastion was a total bore). I'd probably rate it over season 5 and they did cut out a lot of dead wood from the previous season.

ETA: A post in the DVD thread by bellcurve has reminded me just how much I loved the Alison/Amanda feud. It was hilarious how Amanda used to treat her like s-h-i-t and I've got to admit that even though I sometimes felt bad for Alison, it was just too entertaining watching her squirm as Amanda yelled at her for being "incompetent" or a "drunk".

Amanda: This probably calls for a celebration. Of course you'll use any excuse to have a drink. What was it this morning?

Alison: OJ. Straight up.

Amanda: Screwdriver's more like it. I can smell it on your breath. It's not even lunchtime and you're already into happy hour.

:lol:

Bwahaha! I loved the Alison and Amanda feud! Classic! Amanda always got in good digs.

And hey ... Season 2 is rumored to be released in May! Yay!

I'm watching the 1st season now. Never saw the original season and I love it. It's nice to see them struggle with real life issues instead of whose sleeping with who. Can't wait for my fave Jo to arrive.

The first 13 episodes were so boring, lol. Once Jo, Amanda and Kimberly arrived, then, the Season 1 was gold.

I loved Melrose Place! I miss it so much, and I love Soap net and hope it never goes away because I re-live the memories every night!

Wow...it's been gone for seven years. Wow!

First season and least season sucked. Eve sucked.

I remember it the way it should be remembered. Season 2 to Season 6.

I liked them dealing with real life issues too, although Rhonda was an odd fit in the cast. I think they just islanded her and Matt after Sandy's departure(LOVED Amy Locane!).

I agree about Rhonda. I remember when I started watching Melrose Place on Style and E!, before they moved over to Soapnet, and I was shocked that there was a black person living in the building. For the love of God, I cannot even remember Rhonda from when I watched it back in 92. I was 5, but still, you would think I would remember, lol.

Rhonda's a real misfit in the cast. Don't like the actress either.

I hated Sandy up until she opened up to Alison about having an abortion. Then I started to like her more.

LOL, and then the b*tch got evicted from Melrose Place :lol:

I was always surprised that it was Sandy who went first seeing as she could have been that [!@#$%^&*] character they were missing. But I think the actress was kicking up a stink so they decided to cut her loose whereas Vanessa Williams didn't have the dignity to leave of her own accord. :lol:

I'm surprised some people hate season 7 so much but it might just be because I'm watching it at the moment. The latter half of season 5 and most of season 6 were terrible in my eyes. Slimy Craig Field had no use, Alison and Jake were islanded with very little screen time, Samantha was beyond stale, Brett and Lexi flopped. I couldn't believe they'd hired Jamie Luner off the heels of Savannah and then had her playing this pill popping, nervous wreck who'd only been with one man her entire life. The fact they saw the error of their ways and turned her into a vindictive drunken slut is another reason for me to prefer season 7.

Randomly, something I've found weird rewatching is that Rob Estes will never, ever play a scene shirtless. Always a wifebeater on. The only scene he did "shirtless" had a strategically placed towel over his shoulder.

NOTHING with Rhonda *EVER* worked.

I did like Sandy though, but she become pointless when Amanda came on. The whorey b!tch role was then filled.
