Last Night on TV - Melrose Place

SPOILER'S AHEAD. Did anyone watch Melrose Place last night? I thought it was OK - but I was especially excited to see Sidney (played by Laura Leighton - below) in the role of landlady at the Melrose Place apartments. Unfortunately, Sidney was floating dead in the pool within the first 15 minutes of the show...

The cast was OK (except for ASSlee Simpson, who I cannot bear to even look at), but they are certainly not as fierce as the original...

And yes, it was nice to see Michael (and Sidney in flashback) - but during those "Premiere Night Party" commercials they showed Daphne Zuniga (below). PLEASE tell me they're not bringing boring-ass "Jo" back to Melrose Place!?! Jo always looked like she was doing an impression of a sleepy Demi Moore ...

Sidney is already dead, but Jo is alive?!? That's just not fair.

I hope this new version of Melrose does well, because if it does I bet they can convince the chronically underemployed Heather Locklear to reprise her role as the fiercest Biatch in the history of the advertising industry - Amanda Woodward...

Either that, or they should let Amanda Woodward make an appearance on Mad Men...

Sydney Returns to Melrose Place

Sydney Andrews Mancini Field (played by Laura Leighton - above) will be returning to Melrose Place via the upcoming remake of my favorite 90's TV show. How the writers will revive Sydney from the dead, I have no idea.

Sydney will reportedly take over for Amanda Woodward (Heather Locklear) as the landlady of the fictional apartment complex. The same apartment complex where Sydney ran a prostitution ring and fought with her sister in the pool while wearing her sister's wedding dress. Good times.

Now if they could just get Dr. Kimberly Shaw Mancini (played by Marcia Cross - below) to return, I would be all set. But Miss Marcia is too busy being a Desperate Housewife.

Remember when that Ho ripped off her wig to reveal that big-ass scar?!? Now THAT was classic television.

UPDATE: I did this post last night, and today Dlisted is REPORTING that Dr. Michael Mancini (played by Thomas Calabro - below) will be back on the new M.P. as well. Somebody call Heather Locklear ... she needs to get on board NOW.
