This spin-off of Melrose Place focuses on the glamour and intrigue of the world of modeling.
The tough and ambitious Hillary Michaels operates the agency Models Inc., whose models all share
a luxurious beach house but are often at odds with each other. They include Sarah, a naive newcomer
straight from the Midwest; Julie, the resident bitch who eventually develops a softer side;
Linda, a troubled young woman with an abusive boyfriend and a scandalous past;
Carrie, the "over-the-hill" model struggling to maintain her foothold in the industry;
and Carrie's sister, Teri, a rising star whose ambition leads to a tragic downfall.

Another short-running, but interesting series that was spun-off from "Melrose Place." I personally enjoyed watching this show and was sad when they canceled it. Does anyone else remember this show?

Do I remember it? Let's see...of course! FOX was my guilty pleasure back in the day with their combination of Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, 90210, Model's Inc., Party of Five and all their other intriguing soap opera themed drama series. Their current upscale/high class geared dramas aren't as good (not necessarily bad either) as FOX of the mid-90's.

I loved how Models Inc. started and I was saddened when it kept being pushed aside for something else because its ratings weren't that great.

Lovin the Models Inc Love! LOVED Models INC mostly because all of the models. I followed it more on E! in its afterlife then when it was on. I was hoping that it would come out on DVD but after a while I gave up and bought an "unofficial" set from someone who taped the show. I love watching it now though the beginning was a little rough around the edges. I loved Stephanie Ramonov, Cassidie Rae and of course Carrie Anne Moss who went on to hit it big in Matrix.

My bad! Was the first ep like a "movie" sorta? I just strongly remember this being a "first", I guess the first "normal" ep? Did she jump to her death and land on a car in the first ep or was that another show? Oh SFK, yer losin' it kiddo. :lol:

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
