Exclusive: Daphne Zuniga returns to 'Melrose Place'

Tags: News, Television

Daphne_Zuniga_l Jo is back! EW.com has learned exclusively that Daphne Zuniga — last seen on One Tree Hill — will reprise her role as photographer Jo Reynolds in The CW’s reboot of Melrose Place
this fall. She’ll guest star in at least two episodes; her character
returns to town after enjoying success in her career as a professional
photographer.

Zuniga is the fourth member of the original Melrose Place cast to sign onto The CW’s update; Josie Bissett, who played Jane Andrews Mancini, is also expected to make a guest-starring appearance this fall while Laura Leighton (Sydney) and Thomas Calabro (Michael) will recur. Melrose Place debuts Sept. 8.

    YAHHHHHHHHHHH
    WOW!!!!!!

  • Sean

    This is great. But where is Heather Locklear – we NEED Heather Locklear!! She is the true star of the show!

  • Dave

    Why not just ditch the whole new cast and bring the entire old cast back? Then give me back my hair, get plaid shirts & ripped jeans back in style, and put Nirvana back on top of the charts … and I’ll be a happy boy.

  • Juan

    great!!!!!!! jo is back, I love Jo Reynolds.

  • Jesse

    I love Jo!! Can it be long before her character has another baby who a back-from-the-dead Dr. Kimberly Shaw once again kidnaps and nurses as her own?? :)

  • phyl

    Isn’t it a little lazy to just latch on to a series (a GOOD series)@ try to bring it back to life?

  • Donde Tostada

    They should not do this show without Heather. This show is going to be lame. Sydney is dead in the first episode, um where do you go from there? Bring back the old writers and the old cast!

  • EntertainmentBlogger

    These “actors” really need to move on with their lives. You did a show, it was fun, it went off the air. No reason to resurrect it. LAME!

    Why bring back all these OLD actors? To top it off Daphne Zuniga?? She was the weakest link, then Josie Bissett followed. And please do NOT bring back Heather Locklear. As much as I loved her in Dinasty, TJ Hooker and whatever else she has worked on,She Needs a Rest! And I dont care how much Botox they get done, they are JUST TOO OLD! Please say it ain’t so. The only show that was ever successful with a cast of OLD people was the Golden Girls. lol. What’s next, the Facts of life and you try to bring back Mrs. Garrett?

      Знаете ли Луис, что все так помешаны на Аманде Вудворд и считают её пупом сериала? Коим она не является ни в коей мере. ИМХО!!! Да, и без <>
      по имени Джо Рейнольдс, в сериале и смотреть то нечего. Ариведерчи!!!

  • Lia

    I love her as the slowly evolving away from evil mom on OTH- as long as she keeps that gig, I support her right to have a paying gig elsewhere too

    Hi – I’m really glad to hear that Jo is coming back to Melrose Place! I totally agree with the majority so far… we NEED HEATHER back if this show is to be re-done, and I also agree that they should just ditch the new cast and bring back the old cast as well; this show was just perfect as it was, and I say bring back the old crew and writers, directors, etc… as well! Nobody was as great as Chip (producer, director, writer) anyway! I LOVE this show! I simply can’t wait! It just won’t be the same without Andrew Shue, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Marcia Cross, etc… ::sigh:: Take care! REEBEE

    Love Daphne! Caught up on the MP dvds and Jo became my favorite! I’m excited she’ll be on this new version, but I hope she won’t leave ‘One Tree Hill’ for good. I really enjoy her role on that show. I don’t know though how it will be to see her play 2 different roles on the same network though! But that’s Daphne’s great range in acting I guess!
    I think this old cast returning is the best aspect of the new MP!

  • SuperErik

    This is so sad. I was a fan of the original show and it worked because they were young and a little dangerous. Heather joining helped big time and the show never looked back. Redoing it again is so Hollywood. Let me guess there will be a new blond who sleeps with everybody and hurts who ever gets in her way.Where are all the new creative writers? Are we reduced to bringing back everything from the past?

  • debba

    Has anyone heard if Grant Show will return? I loved him on Swing Town – so sad that didn’t make it.
