| Why would they remake 90210 unstead of Melrose place, Melrose was definitely the better show. . . Maybe all the Melrose Alums had better things going on in their careers. Thoughts? |

The networks seem to feel that their most profitable shows are the ones that appeal to young teens (13-14). I won't presume to know their business better than they do regardless of how ridiculous it seems to me.
13 and 14-year-olds are generally dreaming of their upcoming High School lives, not the slightly scary "on your own" twenties.
Anyway, that's my guess as to why. |

| Yeah plus, heather locklear isn't exactly the busiest actress in hollywood either. The returning members of 90210 were still active on the screen before there return to their roots. they still had some mass appeal. Heathers audience is much older now. |

| Actually I think Heather is still pretty busy these days, I know she has a role in the Hannah Montanna movie that’s getting made haha, and we all know Hannah is no small potatoes. She also has a new TV movie coming out! I’m 99% I saw her in a commercial for it last weekend. I’ll look it up. |

That's not a big problem. The general population is much older now. We go to movies much later in life now and we absolutely have more free time to watch TV than the young, struggling audience trying to get started in life.
Plus ... Heather makes one fine-looking mom and there's plenty of those parts. She'd probably do best in Lifetime movies where she's a mom by day and a lady of the evening at night or a woman who marries a much older man and then murders him for his money ... you get the picture. The possibilities are endless. |

| I'm currently travelling and without Lifetime. Like you say, most of their movies' plots have been done sooooooo many times. When there's absolutely nothing on that I want to see more, they can be entertaining though. |

| 90210 and Melrose Place Fri Jul 31, 2009 12:42 pm |

Now the CW is saying that there will be a remake of Melrose Place coming in the fall (of 2009!).
If it's as much of an improvement over the new Beverly Hills 90210 as the old Melrose Place was over the old 90210, it should be terrific! I've watched both of the old ones on dvd from my local library for free!

| In its day, Melrose Place was considered quite sexy. I've seen an episode or two of the original series and it was pretty hot in places for an early nineties tv show. I guess that wasn't really so long ago though. |

| I like the new Melrose Place better than the new Beverly Hills. I've never seen either of the original series. Were they worse, the same, or better than the new series? |

Actually, I checked the cast members out a while ago on the original "Melrose Place" and was amazed at how many of them simply disappeared after the series ended. Very few or no roles after that.
Of course there were a few exceptions such as Heather Locklear, Marcia Cross, and Doug Savant. |

| Oh my God! How did I forget about Courtney! Alison was one of the most interesting characters on Melrose Place. A nice character that could, at times, be a real nutcase! |

it's almost eerie how alison seemed like such a sweet, innocent thing one minute and then got so worked up about nothing the next minute.
remember though. she was repeatedly molested by her father when she was younger. that could drive anyone more than a little nutso. |
