The new Melrose Place apartments

Check out these photos of the new "Melrose Place" building! They have changed the building and the apartments quite a bit, but it still looks like Melrose, and the pool is still there. I would love to live there! Are you guys as excited as I am about this show?

Melrose Place - Jo + Jake = Forever

I'm once again watching the first season of 1990's soap opera "Melrose Place". But I can't help feeling sad about Jake and Jo not ending up together. They were THE couple back then, going on again, off again.

Well, now Jo (Daphne Zuniga) is returning to the new "Melrose Place" spinoff and Jake (Grant Show) might show up too. Wouldn't it be great to see them both together again? If nothing else than at least for a couple of episodes. Just to give them a happy ending.

I understand why the upcoming show has to focus mainly on the new cast, I'm just afraid that they might niglect the old one, like they did on "90210". Does anyone else agree? Stay tuned to this blog for the latest news!
