Melrose Place

I agree. I'm really disappointed they missed one person. I can't believe all of them reunited. I do think they all got along for the most part, and hell, most of them returned for the reboot. They're why I'm so upset the reboot failed on nearly every level.

After the success of Dallas, it makes me so sad to see how the legacy of 90210 and Melrose Place was ruined with those stupid CW sequels. 90210 in particular could've been a HUGE hit had they compiled a cast of mostly original cast members with some new ones sprinkled in. I would've had Andrea Zuckerman as Principal, keep Kelly as Guidance Counselor and make Hannah and Silver the lead younger cast members. Then get Shannon Doherty back full time and work on getting some of the guys back.

With Melrose Place you can't look at that cast photo and tell me that isn't a show you can sell. As bad as FOX is doing this season they should look into a proper Melrose Place reboot. I get the feeling the writers of the last one didn't watch the original. The tone was completely different as was the writing for everyone. I mean to think they wanted to kill Amanda in the pilot, that says it all.

I don't think they could have ever gotten any of the male stars of 90210 back for the sequel series. The main four guys all seem to look back fondly on the show, but they've moved on. Lord knows I don't need to see Jesse Vasquez back on TV.

The MPers look FANTABULOUS in that photo!! Michael is the only absence, of course, which is a shame because TC has aged just as well, if not better, than the rest of them. I'd totally watch a show built entirely on that crew.

Courtney looks the most "real" to me of the ladies, and the best aged. Either she hid the Botox use with her bangs, or she's not doing it. Laura also looks great, so does Daphne. Heather still looks a little spacey.

I just can't deal with TC not being on there. [!@#$%^&*] that. [!@#$%^&*] it. He was Melrose to me during the years I watched. I will not be buying that, unless he had some tragic personal reason for not being on the cover.

Thanks for the info! Will be TiVoing that!

There must be a good reason Thomas Calabro wasn't included. And yes, he looks GREAT, remember him the in the reboot? Even better than he did in the 90's! I agree that Courtney Thorne Smith looks wonderful as well. Aside from a few bad haircuts, she was probably one of the most beautiful of them all.

That is such a gorgeous cover; will make sure to buy that.

I recently finished Season 5 and, I have to say, I loved that last double episode. I think this may be my second favorite cliffhanger after Season 3. You just never get storylines clashing into each other (figuratively and literally) on MELROSE and it was such an ingenious way to do it. Excited for Season 6!

LOL Gotcha

I watched the first episode and liked it; so far, I don't spot much difference. But I was surprised to see Frank South still as executive producer. I thought he would have been replaced as showrunner/exec producer by Pratt by now. Maybe it happens in a few episodes?

    • No. Ruth had an extramarital affair with David while married to Joe.
    • I'm not sure I agree with Bernstein's children on that. Bernstein's life and activism here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Bernstein#Social_activism_and_humanitarian_efforts
    • Thursday & Friday's episodes were excellent. The build-up was most definitely worth the wait (2 months). TMG, I can't give her enough accolades. AM, was also absolutely incredible. I think the fallout is going to have a ripple effect. The little clues that have been dropped,  hopefully, will weave seamlessly to reveal even bigger bombshells for the Dupree's and Martin.
    • Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.   
    • The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archived copy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD
    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
