I know that Jane used to be a bitch – or at least tried to be one – on the original series, but that change of character happened because she was screwed over by the people she trusted (Sydney, Michael, Richard, Jo, Jake, Amanda). She was usually portrayed as the victim who acted out of anger and frustration. Now that Jane we saw on the last episode of the new Melrose Place was very different. At least I felt that way

I hate that they are bringing on old favorites for these newbie brats to disrespect.

I second that. Michael, Sydney and Jane are portrayed as the evil ones who screwed up their lives while the new characters are the good ones who think they can judge the former residents.

if jane was ever like she was last night i would have LOVED her.

i personally think they need to stop with the returns. start to brand the show with the new cast. tho i doubt this show will last much longer.

Oh I get what you are saying bc I felt the same. Her bitchiness seemed to come out of nowhere and was over the top bc she wasnt one to outright and blackmial a person she didnt even know like that. But then again its been nearly 10 years since we saw her so who knows what she's been up to and what caused the change

The whole purpose of this new MP version is being defeated by bringing back all these original cast members. I thought the idea was a bunch of fresh new faces and all their problems. Why don't they try and see if these newcomers can carry THIS show without resorting to the past MP for guidance.

Will Amanda coming on affect the gay guy's spot on the show?

Victor Webster is pretty much the Deborah Adair of nuMP.

Interesting, but boring.

Bring on La Locklear! But it's all gonna be a moot point if they DON'T PROMOTE IT!

Tonight's episode was ok. I hope Ashlee Simpson is Syd's murderer and that she is shipped off at the end of the season b/c I can't tolerate her.

so Lauren is officially a whore now. Are they going to have her sleep her way through a new former soap star every week? lol

I think this show is slowly improving each week. I really liked the recent one. Riley is my favorite. Love her

Good episode. This first season is much better than the first season of the original. Michael Mancini = whore

This first season is much better than the first season of the original.

It sure is! And it helps having 3 very hot women! In last week's episode we had Ella half naked and we had Lauren doing a strip tease. Now this week, Riley in a tank top, short-shorts, and tight white jeans.

Michael Mancini = whore

When Michael saw Violet in her bra, he was done fore! LOL It's painful to watch ASW trying to be sexy. I wish they cast someone hotter in the role. But Violet is getting more interesting, I kinda like seeing her scheme week after week.

i love theyw ay this show handles gay/bi/lebian characters. as if its a non issue. Ella & Caleb are fantastic.

Here is a photo of the showrunners - Todd Slavkin, actress Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Darren Swimmer:

I hope ASW is the killer, b/c I don't know if I can keep watching her. I think the writing is strong enough that I can sustain her, but if the writing were ever to go sour, I don't think I can deal. She annoys me in a weird way.

Gay and Gay. How delightful!
