The Vampire Diaries Are Taking Over
Filed under: TV News > Ashlee Simpson > Heather Locklear > Melrose Place
Looks like The CW has finally realized that Melrose Place isn't going anywhere but down.
The execs just fired Ashlee Simpson - they're guessing that might actually help increase the ratings.
And in an even better move, the network has now replaced the Wednesday repeats of Melrose Place with repeats of their hit show, The Vampire Diaries.
Starting this Wednesday, repeats of The Vampire Diaries will air through the month of November.
Great news for everyone as they'll get to enjoy their fav show twice.
As for Melrose Place, execs are hoping that with Heather Locklear's return in November the ratings will increase.
Our money is still on The Vampire Diaries making it big. Vampires mixed in with a bit of witchery is always a plus!

This doesn't look very good to me I'm not gonna watch it…
Please let this vampire fad die
I still have a problem with the lead female. I just don't think she could have lived during the old ages….seriously isn't she suppose to be a fair blond. This chick looks like she's part native american or something oh and I don't like her acting either. I think she would fair off better on Smallville or Supernatural, but not this show. Ick bad casting choices on the CW lately. All the girls are starting to seem the same to me.
Other than that I think the story is good….just don't like the casting.
"what's a vampire?
I watch the vampire diareis its okay but its not the greatest i just watcht it to get by while true blood is on hiatus but true blood is the real vampire show and nothing can compare
how is heather locklear going to increase the ratings? she won't. the show is going down the toilet.
HATE THAT SHOW
LOOOOOOOOVE VAMPIRE DIARIES!!!!!! It's so much better then twilight it's not even funny!
Even Heather won't be able to save the awfulness of Melrose Place.
Just read Anne Rice & judge all the poopery available now by those standards. Nothing will come near it.
LOVE THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
the guys ARE HOT!
Instead of showing that they should show re-runs of gossip girl
The reason gossip girl lost ALOT of viewers is because not many people could keep up since some of us have LIFES! If you agree please comment saying it? I want to get the point across that the CW doesn't do RE-RUNS!! And they should before every new season l, just to catch up the viewers. ABC family does it and they show the same crap! Look at Greek, it's still very much watch because they show reruns before the new season and on iTunes they do the "Greek cramp seassion" and of really helped me get caught up. So tell me if u agree, thanks:D
what a stupid show.
can never compare to true blood.
Re: Ebonics – WORD!
yes! i adore the Vampire Diaries, it ia way better than melrose place.
I like Heather and think that she is still beautiful but she won't help the ratings. It is not like the first time around in 1993. She lost her tv mojo along time ago.
I love the Vampire Diaries. MP better pick up with Amanda's return!
That dude looks like hes got wannabe r-pattz hair
Bring back Privileged already!!
helloooo….ashlee was NEVER a full time cast member. dummy. she was always leaving.
p.s LOVE vamp diaries!
Who is the black chick? She is really pretty.
WTF, I feel bad for Ashlee SImpson! She's like, such a loser. I'm nopt saying it in a mean way but damn she AWLAYS gets screwed over!
no, dont take it down… i love melrose place… certainly better without ashlee in it..
no, i love melrose place….
that lead guy is so trying to be robert pattinson
and
IT SO ISN'T WORKING!
Re: Scarybear094 – I completely agree. Re-runs would be amazing. Or completely take Melrose Place off the air and do re-runs of Vampire Diaries Tuesday night and re-runs of Gossip Girl Wednesday. I have a lab Monday night and can't watch it
CW's so stupid. They shouldn't have cancelled The Beautiful Life. The Vampire Diaries and TBL = best shows on CW. Melrose Place was a goner from the beginning.
Re: WildOrchid1298 – Im the same, the lead girl isn't doing it for me. The storyline is good and i've read the books. I'm in New Zealand and don't know when we would be getting this show so, thank god for the internet..
I WILL SAY THAT NINA DOBREV, THE FEMALE LEAD, IS FABULOUS TO WORK WITH. SHE CAME TO THE NATION'S CAPITAL TO DO AN MOW AND IS VERY NATURAL, BOTH IN APPEARANCE AND PERFORMANCE. I'M SO HAPPY SHE IS DOING WELL.
I'm a big fan of this show. I tivo it every week and all of my roomies watch it together! This past episode was ridiculous (in a good way)! Damon is incredibly sexy…call me!
Way to go Vampire Diaries!! You're doing a great job
PS Melrose just got a lot worse by canceling Ashlee Simpson and the hot neighbor. The grey's anatomy/whore chick isn't enough to carry the show and neither is the teacher fiance…both not interesting enough. Come on writers!
Loves it !!!! At first I thought this show is gonna sux but then i gave it a try and fell in love with it!!!!
Its exactly like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, much like that other show Eastwick is exactly like , oh what was that show on chanel 9 with those three witches that were sisters, Alyssa Milano and the other two….these new shows arent good. Cant Hollywood be more original?
SAID IT ONCE I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. HATE THE VAMPIRE FAD, LOVE VAMPIRE DIARIES.
asshooleee!!!
i love melrose glad ashlee got canned as she sucked on it. i do like VD better though, except the female lead and her black friend, kill them off lol.
