Amanda (Heather Locklear), Billy and Alison (Andrew Shue and Courtney Thorne-Smith), Sydney (Laura Leighton), Jo (Daphne Zuniga), Jake (Grant Show) Jane (Josie Bisset), Michael (Thomas Calabro), Matt (Doug Savant), Peter (Jack Wagner) and of course that crazy Kimberly (Marcia Cross) will always hold a special place in my pop culture congested heart, so The CW better come correct!

Lisa Rinna wants on the new Melrose Place bad, but she doesn't expect to be the show's first priority, according to E Online's Marc Malkin.
"I'm way down on the totem pole," Rinna acknowledged. "You know, this one doesn't want to do it, that one doesn't want to do it, so I'm just hoping that they get down far enough to me, where they're finally like, 'Oh, just call Lisa...Just hire her, for God's sake! Stop her begging!' "
I know that she may not be at the top of the list, but if you watched her on Veronica Mars I'd say she'd fit in right nicely as one of the new teen set's mother.
Say it ain't so! Word on the street is Donna Martin's marriage to Kelly Taylor's stepbrother David Silver will be on the skids when Tori Spelling reprises her signature role as primetime's latest bloomer on 90210. E! Online's Kristin says:
I'm hearing Donna (Tori Spelling) comes back to Bev Hills and reveals she's having problems with David (paging Brian Austin Green!). Seriously, have any of these women been lucky in love?! I feel for the old school 90210-ers! The upside, though, is that their careers all appear to be going well (and global). Word is, Donna is thinking about opening a clothing store in Los Angeles and she's already a huge success in Japan."
Now you mean to tell me, it took that boy what, eight years to hit that, and now they may break them up? Poor BAG didn't even get to experience Tor-Tor's new boobies (I wonder if she named them Claire and Emily Valentine?). READ MORE
What about the show's tone? one reporter asked. Will it be "earnest first-season Melrose or crazy, Kimberly-blows-up-the-apartment-complex Melrose?"
"We've actually had that exact conversation," Ostroff says. "I think it's certainly not crazy [and] people being blown up in the beginning. I think initially you've got to really get invested in the characters, but I also think it can't be so dramatic and sort of sleepy that not enough is going on. Our fans really love some of that heightened drama, as they can see when they watch One Tree Hill or Gossip Girl."
"We've talked about everyone, but we haven't talked to anyone yet," she says. "... Of course Heather would be one of the people we talk about, because when you think about Melrose Place she's one of the first people you think of."

Heather Locklear is a wanted woman. E! Online's Mark Malkin is reporting that Locklear has been approached to reprise her role as Amanda Woodward. Also of interest in the article is that Malkin's source told him "I don't think anyone else from the original has been approached yet." If true it would mean that Lisa Rinna, who told Malkin earlier this year "I would do it in a heartbeat", hasn't been contacted.
Would a Melrose remake need Heather Locklear?
