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.
