Earlier today we saw a few photos of a forlorn-lookin’ Eliza Dushku with her hunk of man Rick Fox at last night’s LA Lakers game and now we get to see a few photos of the very much in lurve Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner at the very same game. As you should be WELL aware, Heather is about to make her much-anticipated return to Melrose Place on Tuesday night and she tells Extra! TV that she wants her beau Jack Wagner (who also appeared on Melrose Place back in the 90’s) to return to the show as well:

Heather Locklear wouldn’t mind if her real-life beau Jack Wagner joined her on the “Melrose Place” spin-off. “It would be great fun,” Locklear, 48, told “Extra” on the set of the CW drama. She debuts Nov. 17. Locklear calls Wagner — whom she’s been dating since 2007 — “my favorite person to hang out with besides my daughter [Ava Elizabeth, 12]. So, yeah, I want him all the time.” There’s one catch, though. She doesn’t want him hooking up with “anyone else … that’s a no-no.” She jokes there’d only have to be love scenes, “with me, kissing me, everything me.” As for her? The rules don’t apply. After taping a make-out scene with Billy Campbell, Locklear admits, “It was fabulous.” Expect more action. Locklear says the remake is, “a little racier than the old ‘Melrose.’”

I, too, would love to have Jack back on MP but methinks he is a bit too bizzy working on his full time job at The Bold and the Beautiful. Tho, if I had my druthers, each of the original castmembers of Melrose Place would slowly return to the new version of the show and take over from the young’ns. That being said, I am still LOVING the new MP and I am eagerly awaiting Amanda Woodward’s return … we are just about 4 days away from the big night! Oh and Go Lakers!!

We are now less than one week away from Heather Locklear’s much-anticipated return to Melrose Place and The CW has blessed us with our first look at Heather’s first scene back on the show. Here are a few screencaps:

Now that we’ve primarily digested the news that Melrose Place is axing two of its main characters (no matter how painful that news may be), I think it’s time to look forward and celebrate who’s at long last coming back on board to the show. A new promo video, brought to my attention by Pink reader Collin, popped up on Facebook today formally announcing Heather Locklear’s return to Melrose:

It’s short, sweet and to the point. After the jump, check out one more screencap and watch this new promo video in full for yourselves …

Back in April of this year we learned that original Melrose Place castmember Thomas Calabro, who played Dr. Michael Mancini for the duration of the series, officially signed on to reprise his role on the new version of MP and just a few weeks ago, we learned that Heather Locklear (who played Amanda Woodward) signed on to reprise her role on the show. Now, we’ve already seen photos of Locklear on the MP set but today we get to see her shooting new scenes with Calabro … behold:

Fans of the original Melrose know that these two characters have always enjoyed a tenuous relationship … Amanda never settled for Michael’s bullshizz but even he managed to pull some stuff on her. These two characters are smart, conniving and very strong characters … it will be AMAZING to see them interact together again on the show. Seriously, it’s like the mid-90’s again … and I love it!! Locklear will be making her debut on the show in just a few weeks … I am practically counting down the seconds … I cannot wait!!!

A few weeks ago we got our first look at Heather Locklear shooting her first scenes on Melrose Place and today we get to see a few more photos of Heather, in her iconic role as Amanda Woodward, doing what she does best … lookin’ like a fierce beyotch:

I really love Melrose Place and I cannot WAIT for Locklear’s Amanda Woodward to show up and start raising HELL! After the jump, check out a few new promo pics of Heather Locklear’s return to Melrose Place …

Last week we learned the amazing news that Heather Locklear has decided to FINALLY sign on and reprise her role as Amanda Woodward on the new version of Melrose Place and today we get our FIRST LOOK at Heather as Amanda on the MP set yesterday afternoon. Fans of the original Melrose Place and the Amanda Woodward character alike will be THRILLED to see that she is wearing a trademark micro-miniskirt on her first day back on set:

Like an Applebee’s dinner entree, The CW’s Melrose Place reboot is dripping with cheese, not to mention guilt-inducingly addictive. And while I’d rank the show’s breakout character, Katie Cassidy’s Ella Simms, as prime-time’s reigning head-bitch-in-heels — last night’s “Don’t flatter yourself, David: I always have a good time” was a howl-and-repeat zinger — I’m pretty stoked that Heather Locklear’s Amanda Woodward will soon be in the mix to stir up trouble and (hopefully) boost ratings. After all, Ella-vs.Amanda > Ella-vs.Snoozy-Jane, no? To that end, Locklear was back on the set of Melrose — and back in Amanda’s signature short skirt — for her first day of shooting yesterday, as the accompanying photos prove. Locklear is scheduled to make the first of her multiple appearances starting with the show’s Nov. 17 episode, and I’m curious, if her presence will make you more likely to watch Melrose?

OMGOMGOMG … see, I already love the new Melrose Place so the addition of Amanda Woodward is just TOO MUCH. I LOVED her bitchtastic character on the show the first time around, I can’t wait to see her back in action on the new version of MP. The only thing that could make Amanda’s return to Melrose even better would be if Allison Parker (played by Courtney Thorne-Smith) came back as well so that she could lie down in front of the Melrose Place apartment complex so Amanda can wipe her razor sharp stiletto shoes on Allison’s prostrate body as she makes her grand entrance on the show. Can someone make that happen, please?

Great news for fans of the original version of Melrose Place and those new fans of the redux version … after initially turning down an offer to reprise her role as superbitch extraordinaire Amanda Woodward, Heather Locklear has finally agreed to appear on MP in the character that redefined the word “bitch” in the 1990s. Here is the full text of the just released press release announcement:

Heather Locklear will reprise her role as scheming vixen Amanda Woodward of “Melrose Place,” which airs Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on The CW. Locklear will make her debut appearance on the show Tuesday, November 17. “We’re ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to ‘Melrose Place,’” said executive producers Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer. “Heather’s involvement in the show is something we’ve been working on for some time as we couldn’t imagine creating and producing this show without the iconic character’s inclusion.” Locklear joined the popular 1990s series of “Melrose Place” at the end of season one and stayed on throughout the series’ successful seven-year run. She joins original castmates Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bisset and Daphne Zuniga in the updated version for The CW.

As you may recall, Locklear turned down an offer to reprise her role because she felt it “didn’t make sense” for her to return to the show … something must’ve changed between then and now because it clearly makes sense for her to come back. My guess is that the price was right and Locklear finally decided she wasn’t getting any younger ;) I love the mixture of old characters and new on Melrose Place … this is great news! I already love the show … having Amanda Woodward back in the mix will make it all the better. I hope she will still wear those micro-miniskirts that she made famous in the 90’s … perhaps she can revive that fashion trend again.
