Look who's moving into the new 'Melrose Place' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Here comes the neighborhood!

With Smallville producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer now installed as show-runners, The CW at last has revealed who'll be moving into its remodeled Melrose Place next season. (Well, they've revealed the characters at least; the roles have yet to be cast.) As you'd imagine, there are some familiar "types" among the tenants.

Wanna meet 'em? Come on!

The new Jake and Amanda are... David Patterson and Ella Flynn. He's Melrose royalty, the now-grown son of the original Jake, with the taut abs and thick black book to prove it. She's his omnisexual sometime lover, a PR whiz whose tongue is as sharp as her stilettos.

The new Billy and Alison are... Jonah Miller and Riley Richmond. He's a Kevin Smith wannabe whose obsession with his movies is unlikely to get him a happy ending with his sickly-sweet schoolteacher fiancee -- especially when she takes a shine to the glamorous life he loathes.

The new Matt is... Auggie Kirkpatrick. A hunky hippie, this recovering alcoholic is willing to give everybody the benefit of the doubt. No word on whether the word "sucker" will be tattooed on Debbie Downer's forehead, but come on…

The new Jane is... Lauren Bishop. Sort of an anti-Michael, this straight-arrow med student falls of such hard times that she's forced to pull a Sydney and trade sexual favors for financial ones.

The new Sydney is... Violet Foster. Though she's fresh off the turnip truck, this small-town teen already has a worldly-wise m.o.: play the sex kitten 'til you're ready to bare your claws.

Just like the new 90210, it's going to completely suck.

They never learn, do they?

Somewhere, I can hear Ramona getting angry.

This is ****. How about producers be creative for a change instead of biting off old series. They're ruining all of the best dramas.

What's next? Remakes of the Love Boat? Charlie's Angels? Oh, yeah, they tried that.

Somewhere... in the "Platinum Triangle Cemetery" Aaron Spelling is turning in his grave.

MP is my all-time favorite show, but remakes are NEVER the same as the originals as we all know.

BTW, I didn't see any posts of anyone saying they bought season 5, volume 1 on DVD, which came out TODAY! I bought it!

I pre-ordered it on Amazon. It will probably come tomorrow.
