I'm on the fence about these re-watch podcasts.  I think that I prefer a fan perspective, as the actors sometimes provide a skewed analysis.  There's rarely much BTS gossip that hasn't already been revealed elsewhere, or not revealed because it wasn't very interesting.  And it always smacks of a cash grab.

I remember how obsessed I was with the original Melrose place... This is the show that helped me learn English back when I was a teen. Just playing a scene I am back to being 13-14 and downloading the episodes from some old dusty sites on the internet.

If this show really comes back... with some of the OG cast... it will be a dream come true. Even if it flops. It would still be entertaining.

I have to re-watch too! I don't know how my 29 year old brain will take this show now versus my teenage years. Sadly the quality is not that better than the ones I've seen before on the internet. They should have improved it a bit, it's 2024 for God's sake. But I am up for a rewatch podcast.

I don't know if this exactly answers your question, but I referenced it being a cash grab because they are being paid through I Heart Media.  That doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the podcast, it is just meant to provide context.

Those ladies are smart to launch a rewatch podcast.  To a generation of viewers, MP is like visual comfort food, so they'll likely eat that stuff up.  (I should know: I, myself, can't get enough of "Murder, She Wrote" reruns on PlutoTV and wish certain cast members were still alive to do a podcast of that show, lol).

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.

    •   That was such a moving little surprise. I remember reading some comments over the years about why the show never paired them up, but even beyond the clear reasons why, I kind of prefer it this way. I'm so glad their friendship was remembered and seen as meaningful by the show.  Jenny's death is one of the few of a major character that stuck. The impact was never what it should have been because Greg stopped being a major character not long after her death, but it still shows the strength you can have on a soap if you allow a character who meant a lot to so many (characters and fans) to stay dead.  (no comment on the Jenny doppelganger plot)

    • Wow, he must have gone to a really good school for the blind if they taught him how to see again.

    • When Dylan returns briefly in 1997, his blindness is gone. I think they did briefly acknowledge this but I have not seen the episodes since they first aired.
