Laura Leighton Talks About Moving Back To 'Melrose Place'

Actress Laura Leighton stopped by the studio to talk about reprising her role as Sydney Andrews in the new CW show Melrose Place.

Set in an apartment complex on Melrose Place, the show focuses on the 20-something tenants and their intertwining lives. The series opens with Syndey's murder and a series of flashbacks. Violet (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz) screams as she discovers Sydney's bloody body floating in the pool. Although the police immediately suspect David (Shaun Sipos) is the murderer, they soon discover that all the tenants had a reason to want Sydney dead.

This Iowa native is famous for her role as Sydney in the original '90s series Melrose Place. Her role was intended to only be two episodes, but as fans know, she became a regular character and a source of drama on the show. Her other acting credits include Eyes, Boston Legal, Tru Calling and Beverly Hills, 90210.

Melrose Place made its series premiere yesterday. You can catch new episodes Tuesdays at 9pm on WPIX. For more information, visit www.cwtv.com.
