Starting off as a spin-off of producer Aaron Spelling's hit "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Melrose Place" was nothing less than a '90s cultural phenomenon. Series creator Darren Star told Rolling Stone (https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/melrose-place-is-a-really-good-show-57740/#ixzz3xZ9NhlaE) in 1994 the when the series began, the plan was to come up with after school special-esque storylines, but obviously, that did not stick. "Now we try to write the shows as fun, trashy and compelling as we can. It's a delicate balance," he said.
Featuring a group of attractive twenty-somethings living in a Los Angeles apartment complex, the series premiered on Fox in 1992 and lasted seven seasons. The show brought explosive drama and literal explosions season after season. Naturally, the campy show turned into a Wednesday night obsession.
While the show often featured over-the-top mayhem, there was some real trouble brewing behind the scenes that was kept under wraps. A number of cast members moved on to successful careers and celebrated milestones after their stint on the steamy soap. Others, however, faced some of the most challenging times of their lives. We're here to give you the low-down on all of it.
