Melrose Place Scoop: A Death and a Boyfriend

Death has already hit the new Melrose Place once, in the season's opening few minutes.

But E! News reports that a "big character" will join Sydney in the apartment complex in the sky before this season is over. Any guesses on who it might be?

We think Lauren is safe, but Stephanie Jacobsen's med student-turned-call-girl is in for a surprise of her own in the near future:

The series is casting for a resident named Gavin that meets, and falls for, Lauren at the hospital. We hope he doesn't mind if she sleeps with other men for money on the side.
