It has been 32 years since we got to know the residents of Melrose Place. And today, on the anniversary, Daphne Zuniga, Laura Leighton, and Courtney-Thorne Smith announced that they are rewatching their series for the podcast Still the Place.
On July 8th, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same once “Melrose Place” was introduced to the world.
It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level.
We are reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail, explosion and every wig removal… together!
Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you.
Sydney, Alison and Jo are back together on Still The Place, with a trip down memory lane to Melrose Place.
Last week, there were reports that we could be getting a Melrose Place sequel with Heather Locklear, Laura Leighton, and Daphne Zuniga. And now the admin of Leighton’s Facebook page is clarifying the details about the possible series.
*This new reboot is still in its early stages. A pilot has not been filmed yet.
*Laura Leighton, Daphne Zuniga and Heather Locklear are currently the only stars 100% signed on.
*Laura and Daphne will also be executive producers on this project.
*Lauren Gussis (Insatiable and Dexter) is on board to write the script and also executive produce the project.
*This reboot will bypass the 2009 reboot, ignoring any storylines or character arcs created (such as Sydney’s murder, her daughter Violet, Amanda being arrested etc.) and continue years after the end of the original Melrose Place series.
*This reboot is currently being shopped around to networks and streaming platforms looking for a home.
*The synopsis for this project is as follows, “When one of their dearest friends dies suddenly, the OG residents of Melrose Place gather to honour the deceased, but the pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”
*There is no word as to the identity of which Melrose Place character is the one to die.
When it comes to who might be dying, I think it will be whoever refuses to reprise their character.
Does that make you more or less excited for Melrose 2.5?
We first moved into Melrose Place in 1992, and then we moved out seven years later. Ten years after that, new neighbors moved in for a year.
Now, 15 years later, Heather Locklear, Laura Leighton, and Daphne Zuniga are ready to bring back their nighttime Soap.
According to Deadline, the three of them reunite at a funeral for one of their former neighbors. At first, things are civil, but then their hijinx is back.
Because who wants to watch them get along? I don’t.
As of now, the series is in the shopping stage. Hopefully, one of the streamers will pick it up so we can get some cursing!
Oh, who do you want to die? And who do you want to see back? I miss Courtney Thorne-Smith.
Before Jason Priestley was the squeaky clean Bradon Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210, he was a juvenile delinquent on Airwolf. He looks the same now as he did when he was 18 in that 1987 episode.
Before Jason Priestley lived in Beverly Hills, 90210, he lived in a bad part of Los Angeles with Brad Pitt. That’s right. Back when the actors were unknowns, they were roommates.
What was it like when they lived in a two-bedroom apartment with another guy? Priestly told Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, on Live with Kelly and Mark, that they used to have contests who could go the longest without showering. Who was the winner? Pitt!
Now we know why it took the Pitt so long to make it. His auditions literally stank.
