From the August 4th Soap Opera Digest:

comings and goings

MELROSE PLACE

STEVE WILDER (Alex Bastion): Wilder (ex-Jack, DAYS) will play a fashion designer involved with Jane (Josie Bissett) for eight episodes. What kind of guy is Alex? "With a name like Bastion, I would not be surprised if he turned out to be a real bastard," Wilder cracks. He first appears in a flashback scene on the September 14 season premiere.

JOHN HAYMES NEWTON (Ryan McBride): Kyle's (Rob Estes) brother turns up this summer.


The majority of articles seem to say that Wilder's character would be named "Alex." I guess we can discount the Globe article I previously posted which said his character would be named "James."

I remember John Haymes Newton from his days in the Saturday morning series Superboy as the title character. Incidentally, Stacy Haiduk, who was the second actress to portray Colleen, the mother of Jake's child, also starred with John on Superboy. She played Lana Lang.
