Who says you can’t go home again? Andrew Shue, that’s who. The former “Melrose Place” star tells us that no way, no how will he be paying the rent at his former TV address in the series’ new CW network reincarnation.

“They wouldn’t have my character [cutie-pie Billy Campbell] back on the show,” Shue confided to us at the Do Something awards. “My character was born out of the ’90s. It’s a different era now.”

In fact, the actor is displeased about the “Melrose” remake, which stars Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

“I thought for a while, ‘Yeah, it’s great.’ But now I think any great show that had its run and had its place in pop culture should only have one run. ‘Melrose Place’ was a great show in its time, and if I were calling the shots, I would say don’t bring it back. Leave it as it was at its time. That’s the way it should be.”

Clearly, other ’90s TV stars disagree. Original “Melrose” placers Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro will be back in their hip old ’hood for a second time, just like “90210” darlings Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling, who all reprised their roles in the updated version.

Andrew, did they ask you be in the new show?

They didn't, did they?

He's right, it's going to be a disaster and a half. But they would probably only want him if they were able to get Courtney Thorne-Smith, and that seems highly unlikely.
