It seems that Laura Leighton’s Sydney isn’t the only casualty on the new Melrose Place. The series has been picked up for five more episodes and now it’s been revealed that two regular characters won’t be around to see them. Are they the lucky ones?
After seven episodes on the air, it’s been announced that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield have been let go from the new Melrose Place. In an interview with EW, executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer have revealed some additional upcoming changes as well.
Slavin and Swimmer say that the cast exits were planned from the start and that it’s all part of the Sydney murder mystery that’s scheduled to run for 12 episodes. Slavkin said, “We always knew that [Ashlee's] character of Violet would be instrumental in that as a suspect, and [Colin's character of] Augie as well. And once that murder mystery was solved, she would go on her way. That was the original plan going into the development of the show.”
