Here’s some more of the stuff that has been said at the Melrose Place panel during the summer press tour.
* The original series won plaudits for having an openly gay character. This version has “trisexual” Ella — “she’ll try anything,” jokes Darren — and a gay character will be joining the show soon.
* Katie Cassidy — late of Supernatural — plays Ella, and even though she plays the experienced vixen on the show, she admits she’s never seen the original version. Her parents wouldn’t let her when it was first on, and after she got the part, she decided she didn’t want to influence her performance by watching other actresses’ take on the show. But she says she’s got the DVD in her queue — if only because reporters keep asking her whether she’s seen the show!
