The original cast of 'Melrose Place'<br />FOXAccess Hollywood
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- On Monday, Access Hollywood confirmed Laura Leighton would reprise her "Melrose Place" role as Sydney Andrews - whose high jinks included joining a cult and cheating on her sister's husband - and now, her onetime object of affection, Dr. Michael Mancini, is also returning to the series.
According to People, actor Thomas Calabro is slated to return to as the good doctor who evolved into one of the show's biggest philanderers.

Thomas, who starred in more episodes of the original series than any of his fellow cast members, will reportedly play David Patterson's father, played by actor played by Shaun Sipos.
Fans of the series had hoped original cast member Heather Locklear would return as advertising power-executive Amanda Woodward, but as previously reported on Access Hollywood.com, a rep for the actress confirmed she would not be taking part in the series reboot.

blaquemochaMelrose Place is coming back? Originality, anyone? Reality TV has made these ppl lazy as hell. They act like they can't create new tv shows...or movies. Want a blockbuster? Just rip a plotline from a comic book. Anyway, I couldn't even watch 90210...I thought 'Brenda' would reel me in but it never happened.report abuseposted April 8, 2009 10:03 AM PDT

steelblueskeyesI can't wait to see how they pull off bringing Sydney back from the dead... Here's to hoping the writers don't think fans of the show forget these kinds of things. *crosses fingers*report abuseposted April 8, 2009 8:01 AM PDT

LHI don't know, maybe it'll be successful and maybe not. From what I've seen of the '90210' remake on the CW, it's pure crap. As a viewer, I've never had much faith in remakes.report abuseposted April 8, 2009 7:59 AM PDT
