Members Melroser Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 That is a great cover! I've always wanted Laura Leighton to cougar me (even tho she's not technically old enough ) Is she not still on Pretty Little Liars? I only watched the first half of Season One because she was on it and then I drifted off.... The producers of MP 2.0 had admitted in many interviews that they had never watched the original MP and it showed. Not only was it a different feel like everyone has said but all the originals (Sydney, Amanda, Jane, and Jo) were all written as extremely bitter with less likability than the original. I mean Sydney was always scheming but to me she was never written as mean spirited! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 That's sad. I wonder if that awful remake burned him for good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 Probably. It was such a missed opportunity. Michael was also written terrible. It wasnt until the mini reunion between the original cast that the characters were finally written better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Seriously can we try for Melrose Place 3.0? Id completely disregard the second series and bring back Jake, Jo, Jane, Amanda as the main cast with Alison and Billy as recurring characters for sure. Michael if TC would be up for it. 3-4 new characters to round out the cast. Im not a fan of bringing dead characters back from the dead, especially how they went out, but I would be up for Marcia Cross and Laura Leighton reprising their roles in limited capacity in dream sequences. I can see Sydney and Kimberly appearing to taunt Michael at various point, or Syd with Jane Edited October 7, 2012 by Cheap21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 I never even bothered with the reboot so I'd be fine with a third try. I know it's airbrushing but Doug Savant looks exactly the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 Everyone looks great, specially the men. Doug always looked good on DH, is he still married to LL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Yes. I saw a quote from him on IMDB I'd never heard before. I don't know why this surprised me, but it did. Pathetic. I'm glad he was repulsed by this. If not for the paycheck I wonder if he would have stayed past a year or two.

Members All My Shadows Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Doug and Laura are still married, as far as I know. And damn, they all look so good! That picture from inside the magazine looks like a promo shot from the original run. I'm so glad they didn't have them pose in the ugly way most current shows do cast photos, with the cast members all spread out in a police lineup. Most of all, all of those smiles look real, and it looked like my MP crew had a fun time participating in the shoot!

Members Cheap21 Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 Here's another spread Oh and Doug Savant looks damn good for his age He looks so much better now as an older man than he did 20 years ago on MP And yes I beleive he and LL are still married 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 man it does, doesnt it? For selfish reasons, I hate that the thing was even created bc whenever I do a Tumblr or Google search for MP, I get cluttered with that instead of the original series. I cant tell you how many tag photos of Katie Cassidy as Melrose Place, when Im not even looking for the bitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 Doug Savant could still get it, no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 MP 2.0 was just so far from the spirit of the original. I think part of what makes all these remakes and sequels fail is that they try more to live up to the hype of the original shows instead of just trying to keep the spirit and tone of the original shows. MP is known for scandal and betrayal and deception, sex, power, etc, but there was also friendship and romance, and the most important thing was the family-like atmosphere at the building. 2.0 didn't have that, and it sucked ass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yep. Then they tried and it started kinda working, but it was still a hot mess. Damn. The original cast look incredible still. Wow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 MP 3.0 was just way too dark with little to no heart It felt more like a Dark Shadows revival in its tone and it could have benefited from being lighter which I felt they were starting to accomplish once the Sydney murder plot ended 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 Katie Cassidy is the ONLY member of 2.0 I'd want on another reboot. She had a great chemistry/rivalry with Amanda. She'd be great. The two were just getting good when it ended. "Ella" having "Amanda" arrested and hauled away by the cops in the final scene was brilliant. You know there would be payback! I'd love for Lisa Rinna to be recurring as well but only if TC came back. She did have his kid somewhere! Well...not HIS...but you know what I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
