Heather Locklear reunites with Melrose Place cast at panel event

Heather Locklear made her first public appearance in nearly three years at 90s Con Florida, held in Daytona Beach. The 62-year-old actress participated in two panels where she shared memories from her time on 'Melrose Place' and her experiences in Hollywood, including a memorable date with Tom Cruise. Locklear fondly recalled their outing to Club Lingerie, where she witnessed Cruise's famous knee slide from 'Risky Business' before the film's release. During the panels, Locklear discussed her iconic role as Amanda Woodward on 'Melrose Place,' which aired from 1992 to 1999. She revealed that discussions for a reboot of the series are underway, with all original cast members expressing interest in participating. Locklear mentioned that she and fellow cast member Laura Leighton have been working on the project, which is currently in the negotiation phase involving business affairs and legal teams. The original series was created by Darren Star and has a significant legacy, leading to a previous reboot that aired on the CW from 2009 to 2010. The new reboot is being developed by CBS Studios, aiming to capture the essence of the original while potentially introducing new storylines. Locklear's appearance at the event marks a significant moment in her career, as she has been largely out of the public eye since her last appearance at the premiere of a Lifetime movie in 2021. The reunion with her castmates, including Josie Bissett and Daphne Zuniga, highlights the enduring popularity of 'Melrose Place' and the nostalgia associated with the 90s television era.
