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...
HEATHER LOCKLEAR vs. KATIE CASSIDY
• CASSIDY'S CHARACTER: Ella Flynn, a P.R. girl with a player's card and a knack for playing both fields. Her edgy personality makes her this season's life of the party—and its resident bitch.
• PREVIOUS WORK: Watch Cassidy in Supernatural [HERE].

JOSIE BISSETT vs STEPHANIE JACOBSEN
• JACOBSEN'S CHARACTER: Lauren Bishop is on that Ashley Dupre shit, portraying a medical student who works as a classy escort to pay her tuition. Between studying, sexing, and lying, she'll definitely bring the drama.

OLD LAURA LEIGHTON vs NEW LAURA LEIGHTON

Yo! The new girls are way hotter! The old ones were like Jackson (Mississippi), while the news ones are like Philadelphia.

I like most of the older girls better, but I have to say both Ella's rock, I love Heather Locklear and Katie Cassidy (Katie rocked on Supernatural as the slightly likeable bitch)
