A Melrose Place Reunion We Actually Kind Of Want To Watch!!
by Perez Hilton on Mar.09, 2010, under Celebrity Gossip

Ugh.
This honestly makes us just want the old version back on soooo bad.
The basically EFFED reboot of Melrose Place is gathering familiar faces from the original series for one last hurrah before the CW cancels this mess faster than they evicted ASSlee Simpson!!
The March 30th episode reunites Amanda Woodward with other mid-90s favorites Jo Reynolds, Michael Mancini, and Jane Andrews!!
If it weren't such a sad reminder to how much better the original was, we'd BE LOVING IT!!
In case anyone is still interested - which we DOUBT - here's some dirt on why the gang is all back together! SPOILERS!
Thomas Calabro, who plays Michael, says:
"We have a bit of a reunion episode coming up. There are a couple of old characters in a scene in the show. It involves at least two girls I slept with and one I didn't…Actually there's a thread between me and one of those characters that goes through the entire show. It's not just a scene."
And a source at the show said:
"Michael Mancini is there threatening to out Lauren (Stephanie Jacobsen), Jane is there to find out why Amanda hasn't fired Ella (Katie Cassidy) yet and Jo has found out Amanda is up to no good again and confronts her. But they do have fun reuniting and Michael realizes he may have made a mistake letting Jane go."
UGH. That ALMOST makes us want to watch it now. Which is probably why the producers smartly brought everyone back - they must be DESPERATE to keep it on the air.
Unfortunately, we think that the only bitches worth watching are Heather Locklear and the FIERCE Katie Cassidy, but even they can't make up for the rest of the show's BOOOOORING stories.
What do U think?? Do U think Melrose Place is worth saving??

Poor thing!! So scary!!
