Melrose PlacePremiere date: Thursday, 16 September 2010 at 19h30
An updated version of the popular 1990s series about the lives and relationships of a diverse group of 20-somethings who intertwine to form a close-knit surrogate family.
Heading up this group is landlady Sydney Andrews, still beautiful and a central figure in the lives of all her tenants - especially handsome and rebellious David Breck, the estranged son of her former lover Dr. Michael Mancini.
Other tenants include: up-and-coming publicist Ella Simms; Auggie Kirkpatrick, a successful chef at the trendy restaurant Coal with a dark past, Lauren Yung, a medical student in desperate need of money to pay her student loans and Jonah Miller, an aspiring filmmaker who has just proposed to his live-in girlfriend Riley Richmond, a first-grade teacher.
As the series begins: the newest tenant - wide-eyed 21-year-old Violet Foster - has just arrived in LA and is horrified to find a bloody body floating in the courtyard pool.
Suddenly everyone is a suspect.
