LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- In five days, the revamped "Melrose Place" is set to make it's debut on The CW with show veteran Laura Leighton but that might not be the only show fans will get to see her on in primetime.

According to the actress, there has been a little talk about her appearing on her real-life husband and former "Melrose Place" co-star, Doug Savant's ABC drama, "Desperate Housewives."

"Marc [Cherry, creator of 'Desperate Housewives'] has said he'd love to have a scene where Doug and Felicity [Huffman, who plays his wife Lynette] have dinner with a couple played by Bill Macy [Huffman's real-life husband] and me," Laura told AOL TV. "That's a funny idea. I'm sure if he can figure out a way to do it, he will."

In the meantime, on September 8 at 9 PM on The CW, Leighton jumps back into the role of scheming vixen -- albeit a slightly older one -- Sydney Andrews.

In the episode -- as previously revealed by the Los Angeles Times -- Sydney is found floating in the "Melrose Place" pool. But she lives on - in the first episode at least - through a series of flashbacks.

"I think she's paying for some of her past mistakes and is trying to come to terms with who she is and accepting the fact that some things have not changed," Laura said of Sydney's mysterious return.

It is unclear how long Laura will remain on the show, but she's not the only star to come back. Her on-screen sister, Jane Andrews Mancini, played by Josie Bissett is back, as is Dr. Michael Mancini, aka Thomas Calabro, and Daphne Zuniga as Jo Reynolds. And Laura said she'd love to see more of the originals return.

"We'd like to see everybody come back," she said. "I think everybody's interested to some extent depending on their availability. I'm sure that the producers would like to see everybody and anyone who's available to at least make a visit."
