A Melrose Place reunion is taking place in an upcoming episode of Fox’s reimagined version of Fantasy Island, but could a full-fledged reboot of the classic ’90s series be in the works?

According to Josie Bissett, who played Jane Mancini in the Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff, “there are conversations with Fox going on” for a Melrose revival. Bissett previously reprised her role as Jane in two episodes The CW’s short-lived Melrose sequel series in 2009 but tells the Seattle Times: “This is gonna be different because it’s the original cast. Melrose is a tough show to reboot unless it’s with the original people.”

She also notes that none of the show’s original writers are involved in the reboot attempt, but she has her own ideas of what the series should entail. “I think it would be great if we all have our kids and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, so we’ll go through some things with our kids that we went through on the show ourselves,” she explains.

So would Melrose Place be a retirement community in the reboot?

I'll pass if it's going to be about their kids and not them. Also, they need to have the crazy redheads back and kept alive. Heather didn't save this show or keep it going. Marcia Cross and Laura Leighton did. The 2009 reboot failed because many fans were like me and thought it was a slap in the face to see one of the show's best characters come back to life only to be killed off again. Heather couldn't keep the original Melrose Place alive when Marcia and Laura left and she couldn't help the reboot because not a lot of fans cared about her character. Melrose Place's identity is the craziness and that's what a new reboot will need to have any chance of survival with viewers.
