October 4, 201213 yr Member 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.
October 4, 201213 yr Member I think they should try another reboot, and pretend the CW version never existed in the Melrose universe. Especially if it airs on a different network. Oh, well, dare to dream. That ship has sailed I guess.
October 5, 201213 yr Member 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.
October 5, 201213 yr Member 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.
October 5, 201213 yr Author Member Thanks! This should have been Melrose Place 2.0 This is beautiful, my word The ladies still as bad as ever
October 5, 201213 yr Member 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. Edited October 5, 201213 yr by CarlD2
October 5, 201213 yr Member There's absolutely no way that they just excluded him, I'm sure. Everyone knows that Michael Mancini was THE leading man of MP. He was the only person to appear in every single episode.
October 5, 201213 yr Member Melrose Monday on Good Morning America this coming Monday, they're teaming up with EW. So we might get the whole cast. They had the cast of the movie Clueless on today and everyone was there except Paul Rudd and of couse Brittany Murphy(RIP)

They had the cast of the movie Clueless on today and everyone was there except Paul Rudd and of couse Brittany Murphy(RIP) 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.
October 5, 201213 yr Member Why are they hyping the Arrested Development cast being together again? Aren't they still filming AD, for Netflix?
October 5, 201213 yr Member 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!

Just be warned that it never gets this good again. Its a steep decline in quality
October 5, 201213 yr Author Member Just got the issue in the mail, thankfully its the one with Melrose on the cover. Its even more gorgeous in person Really great article, in it they say Thomas Calabro declined to participate in the story/photoshoot so at least he was asked:(
October 6, 201213 yr Member Poor you. Just be warned that it never gets this good again. Its a steep decline in quality 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? Edited October 6, 201213 yr by YRBB
