Josie Bissett

Happy or not that The CW will air a new version of Melrose Place, you must admit that you'll at least watch the premiere out of curiosity, especially if you watched the first show.

Tidbits about the show released these past weeks will have viewers tune in to know how the show will revive Sydney, a very much dead character played by Laura Leighton on the original series.

If that mystery is not enough to get you to tune in on Tuesday, September 8 at 9 p.m., maybe the new spoilers and casting information below will.

Warning! Spoilers coming up!

I never watched Melrose Place. And it wasn't because I was anti-soap opera. I watched every single episode of Knot's Landing, and I've been watching Guiding Light since around 1979 or '80, but Melrose Place never caught my interest. I think I saw just two scenes, both with Marcia Cross. The scene where she took her wig off, revealing a scar, and the scene where the she blew up the complex. Beyond that, even though the show starred Courtney Thorne-Smith (big crush), I didn't see any of the episodes.

But fans can rejoice: the first season of the show will be released on DVD November 7. It will be an 8 DVD set, but no word on what the extras will be.

After 13 years of marriage, former Melrose Place actors Josie Bissett and Bob Estes are getting a divorce. And, they're doing it a little Melrose-style. Apparently Bissett filed for the divorce but Estes said he is resisting. He claims Bissett asked him to move out of their Seattle home seven months ago, and he did.

Bissett and Estes met in 1991, before they were ever on MP. Josie Bissett got on Melrose that same year and they married a year later. Estes joined the cast in 1996. Bissett and Estes had two children together, a boy and a girl.
