Melrose Place -- "Grand" -- 9/22/09

Melrose 2

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Jonah is furious when he finds out that Riley hasn't yet told anyone about their engagement; Ella asks Jonah to fill in when a music-video director bails at the last minute; David accuses Michael of being involved in Sydney's death.



I was out of town, so I didn't get a chance to start this. I'll chime in tomorrow. If you watched, feel free to express yourself.

Getting better. Nice to see what really happened to Sydney.

Ashlee Simpson is scary. Where the hell is she living?

Agreed. I could really do without the murder plot & flashbacks. Still....it's getting enjoyable, but I hear ratings aren't doing so well.

Heather Locklear (Amanda Woodward) will return to MP beginning Nov. 17th.

Good News I guess.

Finally I got it. The first episode dropped us in the middle and now they're fleshing things out. I would have liked to have seen a more concrete "beginning" of the story but it's too late for that now. I'm actually getting the characters now and Ashlee has something to do besides sidle up next to someone and look creepy.

I echo the Cassidy love. Never seen her in anything before, bit I like what I see of her here plus they put her in hot stuff which doesn't hurt.

I did like how they got around the character of Sydney dying in the original show.
I love Katie Cassidy too. I loved her on Supernatural and was disappointed when they recast her. She was good on that Murder Mystery show over the Summer too. The name slips my mind at the moment.

For anyone who cares, The CW ordered 6 more scripts.

So we are at least getting 19 episodes if The CW chooses to produce those scripts. That's a good sign.

Hard to keep track of actors' names on shows nowadays since so few shows have real title/credit openings anymore. I couldn't tell you the names of any of the actors on the newer CW shows (Gossip Girl, Melrose, 90210) except for Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.

You took the words right out of my mouth to describe her.

Enjoying the show, too. But yeah, ratings are still bad - something like 1.45 million while 90210 has around 2.1 million and the beautiful life had 1.09 million - ouch. Hope MP can pick up more viewers quick.

It's going to be a rough timeslot for MP with Dancing with the Stars sucking away many potential viewers.

That TBL show was awful, and even worse, to have no eye candy in a show about models is absurd.

Re: Melrose Place -- "Grand" -- 9/22/09

Finally caught this tonight and I really enjoyed it.

Filled in alot of blanks. Loved the flashback to 1997 when Sydney was supposedly "killed" on her wedding day. However, Michael's wig was really bad.

I don't understand what David is looking for in Michael's computer. I did notice the files that named "Allison" "Jo" "Jane" and "Amanda." Is he trying to find some dirt on him regarding Sydney?

Ella was smoking hot as usual. I'm a little confused about her fascination with Jonah and his career.

Looking forward to seeing Jane next week. I always thought that Josie Bisset was one of the most beautiful women on the original show.

I think he's just trying to find dirt in general - but specifically anything that corroborates Sydney's story about Michael assisting faking her death. Was exciting to see all the former tenants from the original series tossed in... especially with Amanda slated to return!

Has the CW so far flat out yanked a show with unaired episodes?
