TV: Tuesday Hot List

YES! It’s finally here—the CW officially kicks off the fall season with the highly anticipated debut of the updated Melrose Place and the season premiere of 90210.

When we last left the gang at West Beverly, Annie had a hit and run, Ethan confessed he had feelings for Silver and Adrianna had her baby. The show begins with Annie still freaking out over her accident (did she or did not she not kill someone??) and distancing herself from her friends. Meanwhile, Naomi, Silver and Adrianna are closer than ever after spending the summer in school together. And in the romance department, Dixon is still trying to make things work with Silver and ditto for Navid with Adrianna. Rumor has it that this season goes back to the roots of the original show by heading to beach/surf a lot more and focusing on the main clique and their relationships. We can’t wait!

And Melrose Place is back and better than ever! First of all, Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro are reprising their juicy yet sinister roles as Sydney Andrew and Dr. Michael Mancini so we cannot wait to see what drama they cook up at their old address. The show kicks off with Violet Foster (played by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz), a girl brand new to LA via Oregon, moving into Melrose Place. The first thing she sees? A dead body floating in that infamous pool! Now lets just get confirmation that they’re bringing Heather Locklear back and this show sounds near perfection . . .!
