Heather Locklear returning to ‘Melrose Place’

NEW YORK — Heather Locklear is reprising her signature role as scheming Amanda Woodward on its updated version of "Melrose Place," the CW network announced Tuesday.

Locklear will make her debut appearance Nov. 17 on the prime-time soap. The revived "Melrose Place" premiered earlier this month.

The 47-year-old Locklear joined the original "Melrose Place" in 1993, at the end of the first season. She stayed throughout the series' seven-year run on the Fox network. As Amanda, she was the ruthless head of the D&D advertising agency.

Heather was the difference maker in the original Melrose Place. The series probably would have only lasted a season or two if she hadn't joined. It ended up going for seven seasons.
