Earlier this month, an exec on the CW’s new Melrose Place announced that “the door is always open” for Heather Locklear to return.
Now, it looks like Locklear is taking a tentative step toward her old address. PEOPLE has learned that the actress is now in talks to possibly reprise her role as the conniving ad exec Amanda Woodward on the upcoming revamp of the popular ’90s series.
Locklear, 47, would join a cast that includes original series stars Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bissett and Daphne Zuniga, as well as new addition Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.
“We’re huge fans of hers,” executive producer Todd Slavkin said of Locklear during the CW’s portion of the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour. The most important criteria for inviting alumni back, he said, was: “Does it feel organic? Does it not feel contrived? That’s really what’s important to us.”
The CW and Locklear’s rep declined to comment on the reported talks. And no word on whether another famous face from the original show — say, Jack Wagner, who played her lover, Dr. Peter Burns — might also be back to share screen time with Locklear, his real-life girlfriend of more than two years. – Alexis Chiu
Would you like to see Peter and Amanda reprise their roles on the new Melrose Place? I know that I would just LOVE to see Heather Locklear back as vixen Amanda Woodward. And who knows, if Melrose Place 2.0 works out perhaps CW could redo Model's Inc; and give it a treatment that it never got on FOX.
