MELROSE PLACE SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 PILOT

E! Online reports that, in a deja vu-inducing twist, Sydney Andrews will be killed off in the first episode. Kinda like she was in the original '90s series.

Fans of the O.G. Melrose Place will recall that Sydney—portrayed by Laura Leighton—was supposed to be fatally run over in a car accident on her wedding day. And now the producers of the new series have brought Leighton back, only to apparently drown her in a swimming pool. Sydney's death—she'll appear in flashback scenes throughout the season—will reportedly spark a season-long murder mystery plot on the show.

Why would they reprise a character just to off her again at the beginning of the season? Apparently, the plot originally called for character Amanda Woodward to be bumped off, but when Heather Locklear declined to sign on for the revamp, Sydney stepped into the corpse role.

It's not yet known how the writers will manage to resuscitate Sydney from her first demise in order to knock her off again.

@rudd97 They all do suck. I wish the show could get better writers, and actors for this new show. I think its cancelled.

I'm thinking this whle season is a dream to. Or Sydney agreed to get out of jail early if she helped the police to capture someone? She does say she went to jail for faking the last one. Its a shame her husband killed himself in the original series though or did he ?? LOL
