Melrose Place's remaining denizens aren't happy to lose neighbors Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield.

Reacting to yesterday's announced dismissal of Simpson-Wentz and Egglesfield from the Melrose Place cast, costar Stephanie Jacobsen tells Usmagazine.com, "We're sad!"

"We're obviously going to miss them!" Jacobsen lamented at Thursday's Guess Vanity Fair T-Shirt Launch party in Beverly Hills.

Jacobsen, who plays Lauren Yung on the series, got the news via phone call from Egglesfield himself. "He is a soldier," she praised. "He said, 'That's the business.' He's amazing."

Jacobsen seemed less surprised by Simpson-Wentz's departure, noting, "I don't know if Ashlee's involvement was ever intended to exceed the murder mystery story line" that wraps up around the twelfth episode. "But obviously I'm not privy to the details."

Did Ashlee make it onto our hottest Hollywood moms list?

Meanwhile, the actress has already welcomed the show's most high-profile new arrival: Heather Locklear, reprising her role from the 90s original as Amanda Woodward. "I chatted with her in makeup and I've been in two table reads with her," she notes. "She is warm and divine! We are so excited and flattered to have her!'

Following yesterday's news, Simpson-Wentz said in a statement, "Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill . . . Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity!"

    This show is wack. They keep bringing on original cast members for ratings. Sometimes you can't remake a classic. Melrose Place was great...and they should have played re-runs instead of this crap. The new 90210 sucks too.

    Why bother firing people when the whole cast will soon be looking for work?
