'Melrose Place' reboot: Thomas Calabro moving back in

Categories: Television

EW.com has confirmed that Thomas Calabro (Greek) is headed back to Melrose Place. The actor, who played philandering creep Dr. Michael Mancini on the dishy ’90s primetime soap, will reprise his role as a recurring character on the CW’s much-anticipated reboot, a show insider reveals. Calabro is the second original cast member to jump to the new Melrose, joining Laura Leighton, who starred as the unhinged Sydney (who once had an affair with brother-in-law Michael).

    I always thought he was really handsome back on the old show.
    Now, if only they would recast the monstrosity that is Ashlee Simpson…

  • Whirljack

    i can’t stand it!!! This fantastic cast is being assembled and still Ashlee Simpson is allowed to take part. what a waste!

  • Keith Armstrong

    The cast of Melrose 2.0 is coming together so nicely that they should sign Calabro to regular status and drop the new cast; with the exception of Leighton and simply just re-sign original stars of the series.
    If the new 90210 would only sign Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling to regular cast members and ditch the new class with the exception of Canadian cutie, Shenea Grimes the show wouldn’t suck so bad!
    Lets hope the new Melrose isn’t as boring as the new 90210.

    First I’ve heard that this is a reboot.

  • Zach

    Heather, it’s only a matter of time…okay, maybe not. What about Jack Wagner and Josie Bissett? And OF COURSE Lisa Rinna will be back.

  • radfordkelly

    He actually married Sydney. lol.

  • Movie_Dearest

    Laura Leighton must be playing a new character, as Sydney was killed off. Remember, she was mowed down by a car in the street outside the church on her wedding day.

  • Thad

    love Thomas! He was the reason i watched Melrose. Great news.

  • NatedogUF

    Didn’t Michael die (apropriately enough) during sex? My memory is hazy…

  • Scott Buerger

    Laura is playing Sydney..and we couldn’t be more excited about it :) . Welcome back Syd, and welcome back Michael!!

  • Wendy

    Actually, it was only presumed that Sydney was dead…it was the finale.

  • Kim

    Nah, Sydney didn’t die in the finale. She died one or two years before the show ended. It will be difficult for them to explain how she’s not dead….make that difficult, absurd, and ridiculous. Not a great way to start a new show, lol.

  • Belle

    No Michael did not die. Peter rewareded Michael very good when he helped fake Peter & Amanda’s death. Remember his last scene he was in his office with a nurse on his lap smiling his devilish smile. I thought he was a perfect foil for Peter. Also with Lexi (who will be joining AMC as the new Liza) too. Whatever they do, PLEASE PLEASE do not bring back Andrew Shue/Billy unless he has taking ACTING LESSONS. He was horrible. Allii-son. Too bad Anna-Lynne McCord is on 90210 because she is much better suited for MP.

  • G

    sydney got hit by a car on her wedding day. SHE IS DEAD! lol

  • MATT

    The new Melrose Place should have Ashlee Simpson’s character get run over by a car in the pilot episode.
