Melrose Place comes out...of the vaults!

Melrose-Place.jpgGood news for fans of "Melrose Place." The 1990s hit soap featured a hot cast including Heather Locklear, Rob Estes, Lisa Rinna, Grant Show, Jack Wagner, Andrew Shue, Kristen Davis, Counrtney Thorne-Smith and "Desperate Housewives" stars Marcia Cross and Doug Savant.

Savant, who is Felicity Huffman's very heterosexual husband on "Housewives," was the most highly-visible gay character on television during the show's run and was the only character on this show about a horny group of 20-somethings who didn't have a sex life, not even a kiss. But gay fans like me kept watching, kept waiting.

But Locklear was a hoot as was Marcia Cross and the eye candy was plentiful. I developed a crush on Estes that remains and it baffles me why he hasn't landed on another hit show.

The first seasons of both "Melrose" and the show is spun off from, "Beverly Hills 90210," will hit stores on Nov. 7. The "Melrose" boxed set will include 32 episodes since the show was launched in the summer to give it a jump-start, a move that later worked for "The OC." The "Melrose" set will include a handful of featurettes but no commentaries. The first season includes Vanessa Williams (not the former Miss America) and Amy Locane.
