Complex’s new weekly feature “Who’s That Girl?” spotlights an up-and-coming woman we’ve got our eye on.

Tonight, Melrose Place returns on the CW with sexier new episodes amidst rumors of cancellation. Despite the network’s attempts to bring back classic characters like Heather Locklear’s Amanda to draw viewers, the show’s ratings still slipped. But honestly, we think its ’cause producers, ’til now, had failed to appreciate who they already have—Jessica Lucas.

The 24 year-old French Canadian/Haitian/Pakistani actress made her debut in the Canadian hit Edgemont and went on to appear in numerous dramas including 90210 (with our girl Jessica Stroup) and relatively low-key films such as The Covenant. The girl’s been on the block for awhile now, so we decided to look back at the 5 clips that made us take notice of Jessica Lucas…

God bless the The CW. If it weren’t for this teen-friendly network, the classic TV shows from our childhood would go unappreciated by the new generation of puberty victims. Last year they remade 90210, and this fall they’re coming back with a new version of another Aaron Spelling classic: Melrose Place. We were never huge fans, but we’ll be watching this fall for the same reason we watched the original: the women!

After thorough research and analysis of the new (and more racially diverse) cast members, we’re co-signing them all—but for all you old heads still tripping off of Heather Locklear, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Josie Bissett, Daphne Zuniga, and Laura Leighton, we’ve got a match-up for you. Check out the new cast members vs. the old cast members below and vote on which is the hottest…

Girls Throwback Thursday: The Women of Melrose Place

Get your pagers out and send an alert: Melrose Place is back! That’s right, ’70s babies, fresh off the success of their 90210 revamp, the CW has greenlighted a pilot for a new Melrose. First 9-0, then a Democrat in the White House…word to the wise: dust off your “Macarena” steps, because the '90s revival is in full effect!

Truth be told, we were a little too young to really understand MP the first time around, but it left an indelible impression on our pubescent minds nonetheless: there are some very fine women out there who are very crazy, and thankfully, they like to smash a lot. To celebrate the return of Melrose, Complex presents the ladies who made the original a catfighting fuckery fest for the ages…
