Sources tell us exclusively that Brooke Burns will be joining the cast of the CW's Melrose Place for a multiple-episode arc.

But how does Burns fit into Melrose's fractured family of characters? Here's what we're hearing...

According to insiders, Burns will play Vanessa, the wife of Thomas Calabro's Dr. Michael Mancini, and the mother of his younger son Noah.

As you'll see for yourselves in the pilot, premiering Sept. 8, Calabro's Mancini is majorly at odds with his older son, David, who is played by Shaun Sipos and who lives in the Melrose Place apartment building with the likes of Ashlee Simpson Wentz and Katie Cassidy.

Do you think Brooke will be a good trophy wife? We can't wait to have the new Melrose Place on the air—are you as excited as we are? Post in the comments!
