Ashlee Simpson-Wentz leads the CW’s new teen wave
By Matthew B. Zeidman
NEW YORK (Hollywood Today) 9/8/09 – After “90210” widened the CW’s flowering teen-drama base last season, the network decided to remake yet another part of the “Beverly Hills: 90210” franchise, the scandal-laden “Melrose Place.” Fans of the rich and naughty will finally get a look at the finished product tonight at 9:00 p.m. EDT (on the East Coast), when entertainer Ashlee Simpson-Wentz heads the largely unknown cast.
Simpson-Wentz will play the role of Violet Foster, a wide-eyed, yet sexy country girl transplanted to Southern California. Several actors from the original series have signed on for regular roles and guest appearances, including Laura Leighton, who will reprise her role as Sydney Andrews.
“Melrose Place” will be a return to acting for 24-year-old Simpson-Wentz, who first took the national spotlight in 2002 with a supporting role on family-friendly dramedy “7th Heaven.” “7th Heaven” was the flagship show for several years on the CW and one of its predecessor networks, the WB, and originally starred Jessica Biel and Barry Watson
