"We're ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to 'Melrose Place," exec producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer said. "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. 47, joined the original 'Melrose Place' at the end of the first season. She stayed throughout the series' seven-year run on FOX. She will now be joining original castmates Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bissett and Daphne Zuniga in the CW's updated version.

This has nothing to do with American Idol this is about Heather Lockear returning to Melrose Place. American Idol is still a great talent show that isn't getting old or tried as you have claim so your wrong R.

Michael helped Sydney fake her own death 12 years ago and Sydney held that over Michael's head and she was going to the medtal board so he couldn't be a doctor.

I am curious as to why the show thinks they need Locklear back on the show. I have nothing against her as an actor or a person, but wouldn't the idea of even bringing back a show, the new Melrose, be more like the new Locklear show. So for all of these new cast members looking to make it big or even to be the "one" in the show would be pointless to even dream of such a role, for Locklear will take over again and shine in the spotlight...Opps, did I do that!!! Let me guess, she will the highest payed as well...hmmm!

Opps, I am sorry, I did not read the complete article, nevermind my last statement, I did not realize that there would be more of the originals in the show. So the new Melrose will be "New" but with some familiar faces and with a younger cast as well that will be new to Melrose.....Well that might just work. I guess Locklear will fit in just fine then.
