Fans of the hit show Melrose Place are thrilled to hear that a sequel series is in the works, with original cast members Heather Locklear, Laura Leighton, and Daphne Zuniga set to reprise their roles. As fans gear up for the new show, many are wondering what the original cast has been up to over the past 25 years. While some have continued to have successful acting careers, others have faced personal struggles and tragedies.
Heather Locklear, who played Amanda Woodward on the show, has had a rollercoaster personal life filled with multiple marriages, legal issues, and rehab stints. Despite these challenges, she has continued to act in various TV shows and movies, with her last role being in the 2021 Lifetime movie “Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story.” Heather’s personal struggles have been well-documented over the years, but she continues to persevere and is now engaged to former motocross racer Chris Heisser.
Laura Leighton, who portrayed Sydney Andrews on Melrose Place, took a break from acting to become a mom after the show ended. She later returned to acting and has appeared in various TV shows and movies, including Hallmark films and the series “Pretty Little Liars.” Laura has been married to her Melrose Place costar Doug Savant since 1993, and they have two children together.
Daphne Zuniga, who played Jo Reynolds, has continued to act and has also been involved in environmental causes. She co-directed a documentary called “The Future We Will Create: Inside the World of TED” and founded the Earth Communications Office. Daphne married businessman David Mleczko in 2019 after being set up on a blind date in 2006.
Andrew Shue, who portrayed Billy Campbell, has had a successful acting career and co-founded the nonprofit organization DoSomething. He also started a social network website called CafeMom. Andrew has been married twice, with his second marriage ending in 2022 after his wife, Good Morning America anchor Amy Robach, was involved in a cheating scandal.
Courtney Thorne-Smith, who played Alison Parker, has continued to act in various TV shows and movies after Melrose Place. She has been married twice and welcomed a son in 2008 at the age of 40. Courtney has also released her own novel and served as a spokesperson for various brands.
Other Melrose Place stars such as Thomas Calabro, Josie Bissett, Doug Savant, Grant Show, and Jack Wagner have also continued to have successful acting careers in various TV shows and movies. Many of them have faced personal challenges and tragedies but have continued to persevere in their careers and personal lives. The original cast members of Melrose Place have each carved out unique paths in the entertainment industry and beyond, leaving a lasting impact on fans around the world.
