Here is your very first look at the new Melrose Place, scheduled to debut Fall 2009 on The CW. Pictured: Stephanie Jacobsen as Lauren, Colin Egglesfield as Auggie, Ashlee Simpson as Violet, Shaun Sipos as David, Katie Cassidy as Ella, Michael Rady as Jonah, and Jessica Lucas as Riley.  CW is going for sexy singles, sexy vampires and sexy models next season. Web has given series greenlights to three dramas — Melrose Place, Vampire Diaries and The Beautiful Life — in advance of its sked presentation on Thursday. The Melrose Place redo, from CBS Television Studios, was penned by Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer. Like the Fox sudser from the early 1990s, series revolves around a group of twentysomethings who live in a swanky L.A. apartment complex, but with a murder mystery twist right from the get-go. Source: Variety.com The CW has officially picked up the updated version of Melrose Place, the campy 1990s series revolving around a group of twentysomethings who live in a swanky L.A. apartment complex. The new version adheres to the same premise, but with a murder-mystery twist introduced in the pilot. While the original series included an openly gay male character, this one includes a bisexual woman: Stylish publicist Ella, played by Katie Cassidy (Taken, Harper’s Island), who is in a casual relationship with fellow apartment-dweller David (Shaun Sipos). Ella’s bisexuality will reportedly be revealed in the pilot via a kiss at a club. The casting call for the pilot included an “early 20′s, gorgeous, exotic model type who catches ‘Ella’s’ (Katie Cassidy) eye in a club and they share a passionate same sex kiss.” EW.com describes Ella as “[David's] omnisexual sometime lover, a PR whiz whose tongue is as sharp as her stilettos.” Be sure to vote for Katie Cassidy to appear on the cover of Maxim magazine! Vote for Katie with 10 here! Screencaps have been added from episode 1×05 of Harper’s Island, which featured Katie prominently again. Great episode and she did a fab job.       Katie Cassidy is, assumably, featured in the upcoming issue of Maxim with a brand new, super sexy photoshoot! She rated #47 on Maxim‘s Hot 100 of 2009. Congrats, Katie!       Melrose Place (CBS-Paramount) rebooted is a lock. The show is already hiring. Source: DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com Screencaps have been added from yesterday’s episode of Harper’s Island, which featured Katie quite prominently, including, well… Semi-naked, heh! I don’t know about you but I’m really loving the show and Katie’s performance as Trish.       Freddy Krueger will have his hands full in the new A Nightmare on Elm Street, especially with the latest member to join the cast. Actress Katie Cassidy has taken the role of “Kris” in the Samuel Bayer-directed reboot of Wes Craven’s ’84 slasher film. She’s the second female lead to sign aboard after Rooney Mara. Kyle Gallner, Thomas Dekker and Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger also star. Cassidy is no stranger to Supernatural fans. She had a good run on the CW horror series as the demon Ruby. Prior to that stint she played the final girl in the Black Christmas remake and was recently seen kidnapped in the Liam Neeson-starring hit Taken. Television viewers can also find her on Harper’s Island. A Nightmare on Elm Street begins rolling next month in the Chicago area and hits theaters on April 16, 2010. Source: ShockTillYouDrop.com
