It is a sad, sad say for Teege and Mary, as the Models, Inc. 'Cast comes to its inevitable end. Of course, we knew there was no second season when we started, but it doesn't make it any easier. Grayson's pro...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify We're heading for the series finale, and thanks to IMDB's summary of this episode, I am spoiled by one of the main storylines - specifically what Anna is doing here.  No worries though, I won't ruin it for the podcast description, which I assu...

Cynthia's bulimia continues to worsen, causing her boyfriend to yell at her about her sexual assault i...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify Well, we are dealing with disordered eating in the most offensive way possible.  In fact, the boyfriend who recognized the problem had the audacity to say, "you've never looked better."  So that's not great. There is some incredibly bloc...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify Well, Adam turns out to be rather smart.  Something about getting shot through the heart with your own harpoon by your girlfriend/captive has a way of centering the mind.  He figures out that Ben and Grayson are in cahoots, and he sets up a scheme to catc...

Oh, the audacity of late-night television.  The coarseness of 90s nighttime soaps.  No wonder millennials turned out the way we (me, not Mary) did. This week, Sarah's drinking is back and she yells "kiss my butt!" at a hiring...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify At this point, Models, Inc. knew they were in trouble and needed to boost the ratings to get renewed.  They did that by featuring Lara Harris (who's that?) and Emma Samms appearing as Grayson.  Who is Emma Samms?  Who knows.  But they made it clear th...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify We are joined by Gail, who has never seen or heard anything about this show.  Near the end we realize that she thought this was a reality show, so let that tell you whatever it needs to about the writing of this show or the production of reality tv. Julie...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify Listen, there are just four storylines of significance now that Sarah is cast to the side.  She just roves through a few other storylines saying things like, "at least you didn't sleep with a priest!"

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify Well, we've reached that soap opera stage where all of the characters are operating disconnected from each other.  So we have distinct, non-overlapping story lines. Cynthia regains a stalker from New Jersey.  He is on his way to LA, but she can't be...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify Under no circumstances does this title make sense.  Zero sense.  It is illogical.  But, whatever. We learn that Reed Carter reborn as Adam or Matt or whatever is now dating Teri Spencer reborn as Monique Heart or Clare or whatever.  But it's in answer to...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify I don't know what's bigger news - the storylines in Models Inc. or that Hardee's used to sell cinnamon raisin breakfast sandwiches for 99 cents.  Also, that last claim was quickly debunked. Chris and Linda continue in their odd relationship, now wit...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify "Ladies and Gentleman, We Got 'Em!" is what you might imagine the LAPD saying as they have MADE AN ARREST in the murder of Teri Spencer.  Hillary triumphantly announces this, saying "It's all over" even though she was also arrested f...

Republished from The Melrose Place 'Cast, available at: ⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠Melrose Place Cast on Spotify Julie is in charge. Julie is in charge. Julie is in charge. There, we've said it enough to make sure that it's clear that for about 20 minutes, Julie is in charge of Models, Inc. Stephanie takes advantage of Eric, who turns to drug dealing to make money.  ...
