Thomas Calabro Teases Tryst with Ashlee Simpson
Matt Richenthal at .Melrose Place returns to the air tonight.
Having seen the first episode, we can confirm that The CW is as trashy, fast-paced and guilty-pleasureful as the original.
But the show is far from perfect. We have no idea what the network was thinking when it cast Ashlee Simpson-Wentz in the role if Violet Foster.
Fortunately, Thomas Calabro - who reprises his role as adulterous doctor Michael Mancini - has gotten us a bit excited about Ashlee's character. He told E! News that Michael and Violet may find themselves in bed at some point.
"It obviously wouldn't be Michael Mancini without a hookup, and he obviously has to hook up outside of his marriage... [so] it's always a possibility," Calabro said us about a possible sugar daddy relationship with Violet.
Yes, viewers can expect Michael to sleep around on the new Melrose Place. But he's changed a bit: when the series premieres, he's supposedly happy with a new wife and young child. Also...
"Michael Mancini now has globs and globs of money," Calabro said. "He's got money, power and influence. Second, he's got this really pain-in-the-butt son who's 22 and not afraid to go toe-to-toe with him."
