Melrose Place made its long-awaited comeback this week, and it proved to be just as steamy as the original. Not that much of the cast remembers the original.
“For the most part, this cast has no connection to the other one,” Laura Leighton, who’s reprising her role as the scandalous Sydney Andrews, admits in the fall TV preview issue of Entertainment Weekly. “They never miss any opportunity to tell me that they weren’t even old enough to watch the original show. Katie [Cassidy, sitting above] turned to me the other day and said, ‘So were you, like, on the old one?’ I have to keep my sense of humor intact because it’s been a series of humiliations, really.”
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who turns 25 in October, admits she was too young to catch it the first time around, too. “I never really watched shows like this until I was pregnant,” says the singer-actress. “But they’re so much fun — they’re part of American culture.”
