90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?
This week brought us another double whammy of 90210 and Melrose Place. I honestly didn't go into the evening with high expectations — between last week's sexting episode and sibling baddie Jen, I figured both shows would take a breather this time 'round. And they nearly did.
90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?
Last night on the CW, we got our second round of back-to-back fun in the California sun with 90210 and Melrose Place. Heading into the new Fall season, I fully expected MP to be the more daring of the two shows — there was theft, murder, and sex in the pilot alone. On the other hand, while 90210 tried to keep things more wholesome in season one, clearly the writers are cranking things up a notch this year and seem to be leaving those Wilson family values in the dust.
Pilot Watch: Melrose Place
The networks have announced their Fall schedules, but which series will be worth watching? Throughout the Summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. Note that a lot can change before a show actually makes it to air, so these aren't reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
Should TV Series Reboots Bring Back Original Characters?
If nostalgia for Donna, Kelly, and the rest was what got you to tune into the CW's 90210 remake last Fall, you might be keeping the show on your schedule for a while longer: Jennie Garth will be back on the show in season two for at least several episodes. And she's not the only '90s character set to appear on CW shows this Fall: over on the network's Melrose Place reboot, Daphne Zuniga has agreed to guest-star on the show, alongside Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, and Josie Bissett.
But after 90210's rocky first season, I'm wondering if Melrose is relying too heavily on its old cast members to build buzz.
Melrose Place: An Extended Look
We've seen how The CW rebooted 90210, but how will it do with its return to Melrose Place? The network just released a new trailer that gives us our first extended look at the new residents of the famous apartment complex — and I have to say, I'm getting a little excited.
The thing is, I've been jonesing for a show about people in their 20s — Greek's characters are a little young for me, but How I Met Your Mother's are just a smidge too old.
Sneak Peek: Melrose Place, The Beautiful Life, Vampire Diaries
The CW doesn't present its Fall schedule until tomorrow, but the network delivered a treat today, as photos from new series Melrose Place, The Beautiful Life, and Vampire Diaries turned up online.
The Melrose reboot counts Ashlee Simpson, Greek/Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star Michael Rady, and Katie Cassidy among its cast. The Beautiful Life, about models trying to make it in New York, is produced by Ashton Kutcher and stars Mischa Barton.
Ashlee Makes It Bring Your Baby to Work Day on Melrose
Ashlee Simpson brought something sweeter than cupcakes to Melrose Place on Saturday — baby Bronx. Most of you aren't too excited for Ashlee's new show to premiere in the Fall, but she still looked pretty cute pushing her stroller around between takes. As she continues to work hard on her latest project, Ashlee's already got her next vacation on the mind.
Are You Excited For the Melrose Place Spinoff?
Ashlee Simpson sweetened up one of her first afternoons on the set of Melrose Place with some cupcakes from Sprinkles yesterday. The spinoff is full steam ahead with the new cast, plus cameos from original residents like Laura Leighton. Now that the project is coming together, tell us — are you excited for the Melrose Place spinoff?
Melrose Place Fans: Sydney Is Back
Wondering which original-flavor Melrose Place cast members might be adding some sizzle to the Melrose Place spinoff? Wonder no more: Laura Leighton will reprise her role as Sydney in the CW's planned update of the series.
Not only is she back, she's .
Ashlee Simpson and Libby From Lost Nab Jobs at the CW
The CW has two pretty high-profile spinoffs in the works for the Fall TV season — one of Gossip Girl, one of Melrose Place — and over the past couple of days, they've gotten busy adding some big names to their casts:
- Ashlee Simpson has nabbed a role in the Melrose Place spinoff, returning to the network that gave her a breakout job on 7th Heaven. In Melrose, she'll play Violet, "a bright-eyed but shrewd small-town girl and recent LA transplant who has come to town with a secret." She joins Michael Rady and Katie Cassidy in the ensemble.
- Meanwhile, Cynthia Watros, aka Libby from Lost, will play Celia "CeCe" Rhodes in the Gossip Girl spinoff, tentatively titled Lily.
