Jack Wagner Teases Return In ‘Melrose Place’ Revival
A Melrose Place revival is coming soon and many people are wondering who might return from the original series. Apparently, Jack Wagner hasn’t written off returning to the beloved soap opera. He opened up about making an appearance in the drama recently. Here is what he had to say.
What To Expect From The Melrose Place Revival
CBS is currently in the process of developing and pitching a Melrose Place revival to various networks and streaming services. Some of the show’s most well-known actors are returning, including Daphne Zungia, Heather Locklear, and Laura Leighton. Many people have started to wonder who else might return in the show’s revival.
The original series followed the lives (and love lives) of people living in an apartment complex called Melrose Place. It ran from 1992 until 1999. The cast included Locklear, Leighton, Jack Wagner, Andrew Shue, Thomas Calabro, Grant Show, Doug Savant, Courtney Thorne-Smith, and Rob Estes. There were also appearances from Alyssa Milano and Kelly Rutherford, along with other iconic actors. During its time on television, Melrose Place received five Golden Globe nominations.
CBS’ revival will follow some of the original cast members who have reunited after a mutual friend dies. A series summary revealed, “The pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”
Will Jack Wagner Return To Melrose Place?
Jack Wagner spoke with People about reprising the role of Dr. Peter Burns on Melrose Place. In the original series finale, Peter and Amanda, played by Heather Locklear, got married and set out to live on a beach “happily ever after.” When asked about the possibility of returning to his role in the soap opera, Wagner seemed enthusiastic.
“You never really die on a soap, right?” Wagner said. “How they unfold those two characters [Peter and Amanda], it’d be fantastic how they sort of tell that story. That was a great finale to be included in, especially with Heather. If I’m asked to come back, I’d absolutely entertain that.”
Wagner said that he doesn’t keep up with his former castmates from the late 90s show. However, he compared running into them to running into old high school friends. There’s no love lost between them.
Earlier this week, Lisa Rinna, who played the role of Taylor McBride on the show, spoke about potentially returning to Melrose Place as well.
“Well, gosh, I’ve heard about it,” Rinna told People. “I haven’t been approached or anything, but I would love to see what Taylor McBride is up to 25 years later. Wouldn’t that be something?”
