Leighton, 56, added there were many “moving parts and pieces” involved in getting the new show off the ground. “The stars need to align, but we want it as much as the fans want it,” she said.
Leighton hinted at 90s Con Florida that the revival would revisitMelrose Place’soriginal characters.
“The idea is what happens to these people 30 years later,” she explained. “There’s all these fan stories, all these great conspiracies and those are just wonderfully creative ideas, an example of everybody’s’ interest in where they would be. We were such an easy group of people. We loved each other then. We can’t think of anything better than to come back together and tell a new story soon.”

But, circling back to that time, I have always, I just have maintained that fond feeling of this group as a family.”
