Melrose Place
Spoilers

When we heard that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz had been fired from Melrose Place, it was music to our ears.

Unfortunately, before she leaves, there will be painful images for our eyes.

Colin Egglesfield, who plays Auggie and who also got the boot, told E! News yesterday that his character and that of Simpson-Wentz will get hot and heavy before they depart the show in early 2010.

"There are very few clothes involved in the near future," the actor said, while an insider added that Auggie and Violet are involved in a pair of steamy sex scenes in the near future.

This does not mean, however, that Violet and Auggie will leave the show together, hand-in-hand, in a healthy relationship.

Egglesfield said his character is headed down a dark path, as teased via instant message last episode.

"Things get pretty violent and kind of crazy. Auggie ends up hitting the bottle and falls off the deep end a little bit," he said.

As long as he's not wearing a shirt while doing so, female viewers will likely be satisfied.

Following a week off, Melrose Place returns tomorrow night with an episode titled "Gower."

As viewers can find out in the clips below, a pair of major events take place during the hour:

1. Ella confronts Lauren about the source of her influx of cash;
2. The show flashes back to when David first meets Sydney.

As always, we'll recap the episode in full after it ends; reviewing developments and posting quotes, music and more from the installment.

For now, get ready for "Gower" with the two scenes below from it.

For a show that hasn't aired a new episode in over a week, Melrose Place has remained in the news.

It announced the firing of two stars a couple days ago, and also confirmed that Heather Locklear's Amanda will be featured prominently over the next couple months.

As for the new upcoming episode, The CW airs "Gower" on Tuesday night. As the photos from it reveal, two major storylines will play out during the hour: we'll flashback to David meeting Sydney; and we'll see Jonah continue to flirt with Kendra:

As always, visit TV Fanatic for a detailed review of the episode soon after it airs. Below, we've compiled a few still shots from the installment. Click on each to enlarge...

We hope you're excited about Heather Locklear's return to Melrose Place, fans.

Because The CW plans on featuring a great deal of Amanda Woodward soon after she re-debuts on November 17.

According to Jessica Lucas (Riley), the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 is pretty much all Locklear, all the time.

"The back nine will be focusing on Heather. There is some kind of mystery there between her and Sydney, so Laura Leighton may be staying on in some form," Lucas said to E! News.

As for the supposedly spoiled murder mystery - due to her firing, it seems clear Ashlee Simpson-Wentz's Violet was involved in Sydney's death - Lucas says viewers will still be surprised to see what went down.

"Episode 12 is the whole wrap of the murder mystery, so something really shocking happens in the pool. It ties in with the murder mystery, but it's something completely unexpected."

Daphne Zuniga reprises her role of Jo Reynolds on tomorrow night's episode of Melrose Place.

But the focus of "Windsor" is really on Riley.

Sure, Jo is a successful photographer that has been traveling around the world, including shoots in Darfur and other war-torn areas of the globe. But Riley will find herself in trouble professionally and personally this week.

First, as the clip below depicts, she's asked to get a bit more naked for her modeling debut than originally planned. Watch all the way through to see what we mean:

Meanwhile, life won't be any less complicated for Riley when she gets home.

The clip that follows this article's jump, which features a confrontation between Jonah and Auggie, explains why.

While the Internet is buzzing over the return of Heather Locklear to Melrose Place, a former co-star has her beat by a few weeks.

Daphne Zuniga returns to the show that made her famous next week, as her character of Jo Reynolds is in charge of a photo shoot for Riley. She'll encourage this reluctant model to relax in a rather unorthodox, sexy manner.

Tune in to find out what it is. But click on the pics below for a look at Zuniga - who has recurred as Victoria Davis on One Tree Hill for the last two seasons - in her return to the show:

We'll publish a detailed recap of the episode "Windsor" soon after it ends.

Someone will soon be killed on Melrose Place.

Who will join Sydney in the giant apartment complex in the sky? Star Katie Cassidy (Ella) isn't telling, but she did say to E! News:

"I think everyone's going to be surprised. [The death] is a shocker, but at the same time, it's really good."

Meanwhile, Heather Locklear returns to the series on November 17. Her character of Amanda Woodward will be involved in some great scenes with Ella, as Cassidy teases:

"Heather is amazing. I've had so much fun working with her. She's a really cool chick and it's been really great to work with her. I'm happy she came on the show."

Amanda will fire Ella's boss, Caleb, when she first arrives. How will this affect her working relationship with Cassidy's character?

"I think Ella looks up to Amanda and ultimately wants to be her, but she isn't; Ella's her own character, Ella's different. That said, with Amanda being the boss of the whole company, Ella would like to be in her shoes at some point."

Yes, she really is coming back.

On the November 17 episode of Melrose Place, Heather Locklear reprises her iconic role of Amanda Woodward.

She'll return to the show that truly made her famous as Ella's boss, pitting the show's new resident bitch against its prototype. Take a look at a few photos from Amanda's debut episode below. We can't wait.

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.

On next week's new episode of Melrose Place...

• ... Violet plans revenge against Michael;
• ... Riley has a chance to model
• ... Lauren receives her next assignment.

The clip below focuses on the final storyline listed above. For how long can Lauren last in this line of work?
