Melrose Place 2.0 Scoop!

| Filed under: TV News

melrose.jpg

The new cast of characters who'll be inhabiting the updated Melrose Place on The CW has been unveiled by Entertainment Weekly.

The actors have yet to be cast, so this is good study material for y'all who are chosen to audition!

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 Allison are… Jonah Miller and Riley Richmond. He's a Kevin Smith wannabe whose obsession with his movies is unlikely to give 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 on 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 till you're ready to bare your claws.

You excited for Melrose's comeback?

We are!

  3. 3

    I'm SO in! Better than 90210….melrose will be awesome!!! THanks for the update!



  4. 4

    NOTHING WILL EVER TOP THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS WAAAAAY BETTER THAN 90210.



  5. 5

    No.



  6. 6

    90210 was worse enough. This is going to be just as awful, if not more.



  7. 7

    Meh, this show wasn't that great to begin with but you know I'll be watching the new one anyway!



  8. 8

    GO 90210!



  9. 9

    Who's the new Kimberley?



  10. 10

    I'm thinking not.



  11. 11

    Remember when networks used to make original shows?



  12. 12

    I loved Melrose Place and this will inevitably be shiteous.



  13. 13

    No I am not! this is the worst idea ever!!!! Melrose was a wonderful show and noone will ever replace any of our beloved characters… writers need to come up with bright ideas… all of this fight to get more money and what they have done so far to justify the raise??? Remakes!



  14. 14

    Hell Yeah! I'm a 40 something old Hag that was ADDICTED to the Original! Nothing like a Crappy Remake to turn me off and give me a LAUGH! (See 90210).

    One can only Hope A Doped Up Heather or Lisssssa Lips (hear she's begging to get on … per P?) will Make an Appearance! LOL



  15. 15

    Stupid CW… they cancel a amazing show like Veronica Mars for a new 90210 & now Melrose Place? no wayyyyyy!



  16. 16

    Beyond lame. Think of something new. It will suck liek the new 90210 which I refuse to watch.



  17. 17

    I think the 35 and older crowd will be stoked… most of the perez hilton fans were too young to watch Melrose Place when it was on… 90210 was alittle less racy… idk.. maybe 35 and up watch cw??



  18. 18

    Re: Jubilee – those were the days……no imagination out there anymore…..hollywood should be embarrassed..for many reasons



  19. 19

    Hell yeah I'm excited!! If for no other reason than this means we may be moving on from the 80's flashback we have been living in on to the 90's which I personally liked a whole lot better!



  20. 20

    Hell to the no. Enough meaningless shit on tv as it is. On that note…if I see one more tyra banks reality show, I will go mental.



  21. 21

    the cw has zero originality.

    old school melrose place was classic. you cant remake it and expect it to have the same effect.

    gah. tv sucks.



  22. 22

    Lame. I will totally not watch unless Andrew Shue makes a cameo as Billy…lisping "Allithon, Allithon"…

  23. Juanf says – reply to this


    23

    Perfect !!! I love this tv Show !!!
    Please i want CHARMED 2.0 !!!!!



  24. 24

    SO EXCITED!!!



  25. 25

    I am so not excited. They are just trampling on holy ground :) I remember being 17 and making sure nothing was going on Monday nights. "Monday nights were a bitch!" There is no way they can recreate Melrose Place.



  26. 26

    I dont think its cast was ever as strong as 90210, and he was generate more to adults, and the CW is more a teen into 20's range and i think this show will be a miss



  27. 27

    them clues are related to britney spears arn't they??



  28. 28

    I am excited. It was a great show. Was watching it again on Soapnet til they became B's and dropped it. I hope this time they give them a nicer apartment complex. I liked how it was a U shaped set up with a pool, just maybe alot more modern inside and out.



  29. 29

    What a way to copy a story word for word you fat piece of shit get you're own gossip freak.



  30. 30

    NO WAY..NO AMANDA ????(at the very least) FORGET ABOUT IT!!!! All these characters all the the same on similar shows..its boring. Melrose was my favorite, sorry 90210 heads. This wont do it any justice. Glad I have my SHO and HBO. At least on cable I will have the reruns..lol…



  31. 31

    wow. those news only needed one week to get noticed here…



  32. 32

    We need an Amanda and a Kimberley too! Maybe the real ones? I was addicted in the '90's… I'll give it a chance, and hope it doesn't suck.
