Daphne Zuniga Signs On To Reprise Her Role On ‘Melrose Place’
Melrose Place has managed to secure another original castmember to reprise their role and return to the show. Recently, Heather Locklear made big news when it was announced that she would be returning to MP as Amanda Woodward (yesterday we saw new photos of Locklear on set) and today we learn that Daphne Zuniga will be returning to MP as photographer Jo Reynolds. Here is our first look at Zuniga as Reynolds in her first ep of the new series:
DAPHNE ZUNIGA RETURNS AS JO REYNOLDS AND JENNA DEWAN (“STEP UP”) GUEST STARS — Ella (Katie Cassidy) and Riley (Jessica Lucas) arrive at the Anton V photo shoot and meet the photographer ─ former Melrose Place resident, Jo Reynolds (Daphne Zuniga). Jo feels that Riley’s inexperience is preventing Jo from getting her shot, so Jo pushes Riley’s buttons and insists on a topless shoot to help Riley get in touch with her emotions. Meanwhile, Jonah (Michael Rady) meets with a producer’s development exec, Kendra (guest star Jenna Dewan, “Step Up”), who invites him to have drinks later that night to discuss his film. Violet (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz) makes another play for Auggie’s (Colin Egglesfield) attention, and Lauren (Stephanie Jacobsen) finds out about David’s (Shaun Sipos) secret. Patrick Norris directed the episode written by Jonathan Caren (#106).
Yay!! Bring on more Melrose Place alums, please!! I love seeing the old crew back in the scene with the new kids in our beloved apartment complex. I seriously cannot get enough of this show … it’s so trashy, so fun. After the jump, check out a few more promo photos of Daphne’s return to Melrose Place …
Every since Jo Reynolds got kidnapped and then raped by her crazy boyfriend and then agonizingly decided to keep her baby only to have her rapists parents successfully steal custody of the child away from her and in a moment of weakness looked to the seriously insane Dr. Kimberly Shaw to help fake her baby’s death in order to get rid of her rapists parents only to be betrayed when Kimberly tried to keep the baby as her own (in a failed attempt to keep Dr. Michael Mancini from leaving her) and then run off and away from the show with her baby I’ve been a fan of Zuniga’s work. I can only hope that the folks at Melrose have an even more exciting storyline for Zuniga’s return.

Daphne looks great! Hopefully she will pull out that famous shot gun again on some of the new cast:)! Seriously, has anyone watched this show? If so, is it good or should I just skip it? Since all the old cast is coming back I kind of want to watch it now!!

I never watched the original Melrose, but your recap of her exploits on that show is hilarious. I might have to find the old episodes online.

I love this show . . .it’s such a trashy, guilty pleasure. It’s even better now that the old crew is coming back. If only we could get our beloved loony Kimberly Shaw back, all would be right with the Melrose world :).
