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?
It has been 45 years since Jill Whelan, 57, set sail on The Love Boat with Fred Grandy, 75, Ted Lange, 76, and Lauren Tewes, 70. And they still love working together.
So much so that Whelan, Grandy, and Lange are starring in a live production of I’m Not Rappaport in Dexter, Michigan until April 21st. And this weekend, Tewes came out to see her old shipmates in the play.
And we got this photo of the four of them, who all still look marvelous. Now, I really want a Love Boat revival with Vicki taking over as Captain as a way of honoring her late father.
Before Tamron Hall had a national talk show, she hosted one on WFLD in Chicago. She looks the same now as she did when she was 26 in that 1997 broadcast.
This should have been a happy time for Alexa Pena and her husband, Carlos Pena. The couple were getting ready to welcome their fourth child and second daughter. However, they announced today that their baby girl did not survive.
There are never the right words to say when it comes to loss. After a beautiful and peaceful delivery our daughter “Indy” was born at rest. It has been a painful journey. But in the pain we have found peace. God continues to comfort and hold us in his arms. The prayers from the community around us have been so sustaining in this difficult season. This little girl has already changed our lives in so many ways. She was absolutely beautiful. And looked just like daddy. Dark hair and all. Grief has come to us in waves. Moments of feeling absolutely gutted… then moments of feeling blessed by just getting a moment with her.
We can’t understand why things like this happen and we may never get those answers.
Indy Rex PenaVega, you completely changed our world. You moved us to a new place. You gave us the community we have been longing for. We love you can’t wait to see how many other lives you change.
Vega revealed in a Vlog in mid-March that she was suffering from a placental abruption. She had the same complication with her third child, but it was much smaller then.
The PenaVegas have two sons, Ocean, 6, and Kingston, 4, and a daughter Rio, 2.
