Melrose Place 2.0 Promo!

In vein of the recent relaunch of the 90210 franchise, The CW has also decided to relaunch 90210's sister series, Melrose Place. And like 90210, the show will continue from the previous series, featuring old characters, and new characters with ties to the old ones. 

Laura Leighton, who played Sydney Andrews in the old show will return as a recurring character, as well as Thomas Clabro, who played Michael Mancini. Talks of bringing back Heather Locklear surfaced during production but Locklear opted not to return. 

The premise of the show has been kept very top secret, but the show will follow the original formula and chronicle a group of twentysomethings dwelling in Los Angeles' trendy Melrose neighborhood.

Smallville producers, Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin will be the show-runners.

Well I was definitely a fan of the original show and I'm definitely interested to see what they do with the series. But if this is gonna be anything like the new 90210 series, then you can count me the fuck out! The new 90210 is good I guess, but it isn't anything like the original. It's basically just another teen soap with a 90210 title! 

And another thing, what's up with bringing back all these old shows/movies? Are Hollywood's writers really out of ideas? These reboots and remakes are gonna get old really fast, and I think viewers will stop tuning in as soon as that happens.  

What do you think? Comment!!
