The Weather May Be Getting Cooler, But Soaps Are Hotter Than Ever This Fall

Melrose Place
     The venerable prime-time sudser celebrates its 200th episode on Sept. 14. More casual attire for the cast, big music stars (like Sean Lennon) and guest stars (like Shirley Jones) will be added to the mix.
     Look for Amanda and Kyle to find a complication in their relationship (okay, it's Peter). Amanda is going to return to her bitchy roots. And speaking of bitchy, Lexi is also going to face off with Amanda this year in a number of cat fights. Meanwhile, Kyle's younger brother, Ryan, comes to town. Don't expect a lot of brotherly love. Also coming to town is singer Eve (Rena Sofer, ex-Lois, GH), who shares a past with Amanda, and designer, Alex Bastion (Steve Wilder, ex-Jack, DAYS) who has designs on Jane. They were buddies in college, but Alex is looking for a lot more than friendship.
