Heather Locklear Not Moving Back to Melrose Place

Heather Locklear

Casting for the CW's reboot of Melrose Place is in full swing, but one star won't drop in: Heather Locklear.

Locklear, who played Amanda Woodward on the original Fox series, has turned down an offer to bring her character to the update, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Unlike the recently rebooted 90210 — which found success in bringing back original cast members Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling — a source tells EW, "there wasn't a way to bring [Locklear] back that made sense."

Meanwhile, the show — planned to premiere in the fall — continues to add to its cast, which already includes Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Jessica Lucas, Michael Rady, and Katie Cassidy. But will the CW look to an original star to bolster its reboot?

Are you sad Locklear won't be returning? What original cast members would you like to see return?
