‘Melrose Place’ remake confirmed?

Earlier this month, “Melrose Place” and “Beverly Hills 90210″ creator Darren Star, admitted to TVGuide.com that a Melrose resurrection “would be a fun thing to do. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened — if it can be put together in the right way.”
Now a spokesperson for The CW has reportedly confirmed the buzz that’s been going on for months: The network is developing an update of Melrose Place. Studio bosses no doubt figure a Melrose rebirth will generate another round of mass hysteria.  And since the CW has enjoyed some measure of success with its “90210″ remake inspite of modest ratings, the show has brought attention to the struggling network at a time when it sorely needs it. The relative success of “90210″ and “One Tree Hill” this fall have helped the CW stave off rumors that it might fold.

“Melrose Place” aired on Fox from 1992 to 1999, a prime-time soap about a mythical Los Angeles locale. Heather Locklear, Andrew Shue, Courtney Thorne-Smith and Marcia Cross were among its stars. Details remain sketchy, but it’s believed Melrose 2.0 would launch next fall.
