Will Melrose Place Alum Tune In for the Remake?

Grant Show has no plans to join the series' spinoff...but that doesn't mean he won't watch it

There will no more engine revving for Grant Show—at least not on any new Melrose Place sets.

Show played hunky biker bad boy Jake Hanson in the original prime-time drama. He says reviving his character on the CW's upcoming revamp isn't in the cards for him, but watching the new series certainly is.

"I have no intention of returning, but everyone I've talked to who has seen the new show says it's surprisingly very good," Show told us recently. "And hey, more power to them...Sure, yeah, I'll watch!"

Despite not having seen any episodes of the series yet, Show doesn't doubt it will be a success…

"They have Thomas [Calabro] and Laura [Leighton] making a return to the show," Show said. "What a great combination! They were the show for most of the series, so it's great to see that they got the opportunity to make a return."

In fact, Show doesn't think it is at all strange that the revived series is bringing back Leighton's character, Sydney Andrews, even though she died in the original. "It's a soap opera," Show said. "You can do whatever you want. I mean, the whole building was blown up and everyone lived."

Back in January, Show told us the only way he'd go back to his West Hollywood TV digs is if Jake's short-lived romance with Kelly Taylor [Jennie Garth] could be rekindled.
