Locklear Heading Back To Melrose Place
By WENNWednesday, September 23, 2009
HEATHER LOCKLEAR is returning to MELROSE PLACE - the actress will reprise her role as AMANDA WOODWARD in the remake of the 1980s show.
The star had previously turned down an offer to join the cast of the revamped U.S. TV hit, because she was not convinced writers could find a way of bringing her scheming character back.
However, she met with show bosses again last month (Aug09) and agreed to film new scenes for the programme - although it’s unknown how long Locklear’s stint will last.
Executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer are delighted to have Locklear on board.
They say in a statement, “We’re ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to Melrose Place.
“Heather’s involvement in the show is something we’ve been working on for some time as we couldn’t imagine creating and producing this show without the iconic character’s inclusion.”
Locklear’s first episode will air in the U.S. on 17 November (09).

Hope Heather Locker’s return can save the show….this season has been great so far, and last night’s episode was the best yet. I couldn’t believe it when I read on Perez Hilton that the ratings are taking a big dive which is so stupid because this show is just getting better and they’re lining up great stars like Taryn Manning…so come on people stop being so LAME! I was so glad they had Taryn Manning guest star last night - love her! She even pulled a gun on Jonah as they played the Boomkat song “Run Boy” - it was so great. There’s some videos of Taryn and company doing dance rehearsals for the Melrose Place episode floating around on YouTube ( youtube.com/watch?v=0Im5HQAO5yM ). Makes me so envious of her dancing…*sigh. Bring Taryn back for more episodes, and make Heather a permanent full-time cast member! |
