'MELROSE PLACE' HEATS UP MONDAY NIGHTS WITH ALL-NEW EPISODES BEGINNING JULY 27

Josie Bissett Returns As Jane Mancini This Summer On FOX

MELROSE PLACE sizzles this summer on FOX as it returns to the schedule in its regular time period Monday, July 27 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) with all-new episodes. Many changes are in store for viewers as the steamy show heads into its seventh season, and the focus shifts to a core cast of seven characters. In addition, there will be more screen time for Heather Locklear, whose diabolical Amanda is the heart and soul of MELROSE PLACE.

Popular actress Josie Bissett rejoins the cast as Jane Mancini on the Aug. 17 episode. Sparks fly when Jane runs into ex-husband Michael (Thomas Calabro) and returns to the MELROSE PLACE apartment complex to pick up the pieces of her life.

Additional summer highlights include: Kyle (Rob Estes) follows Amanda (Heather Locklear) to the Dominican Republic to win her back from Rory (guest star Anthony Tyler Quinn), which leads to a lethal struggle; Peter (Jack Wagner) masterminds a dastardly plot to win Amanda back, with terrifying results; Taylor (Lisa Rinna) turns Michael's life upside down as she tries to come to terms with motherhood; Billy (Andrew Shue) and Sam (Brooke Langton) are headed on a collision course with Jennifer (Alyssa Milano) and Jeff (guest star Dan Gauthier); and Lexi (Jamie Luner), Megan (Kelly Rutherford) and Coop (Linden Ashby) find themselves in a love triangle which pushes Coop to make a decision with irrevocable results.
