Lisa Rinna Would Be Down to Reprise Her Role of Taylor McBride in ‘Melrose Place’ Reboot
When Lisa Rinna departed her popular role of Billie Reed on Days of our Lives back in 1995, her next major role would be a jump to primetime and the soapy Melrose Place.
In 1996, Lisa was introduced as new character Taylor McBride and stayed with the Fox young adult sudser for three seasons. Now in 2024, with the recent reveal that a Melrose Place revival is the works with Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga and Laura Leighton all on board to reprise their signature roles, would Rinna board the project should it come to fruition?
Speaking with PEOPLE, Rinna expressed, “Well, gosh, I’ve heard about it. I haven’t been approached or anything, but I would love to see what Taylor McBride is up to 25 years later. Wouldn’t that be something?”
OG Melrose Place fans know that in story, Taylor moved to the Melrose Place apartment building with her husband Kyle played by Rob Estes. However, Taylor had her eye on Dr. Peter Burns played by former GH star Jack Wagner (ex-Frisco). But, by the time she had moved to the apartment complex, Peter had married tough as nails ad executive, Amanda Woodward, played by Heather Locklear.
Recalling her time on Melrose Place, Rinna added that it, “was one of my greatest and most fun acting experiences, playing Taylor and working with Heather and the whole crew.” Rinna also noted, “So if they need a Taylor McBride appearance, they know who to call. I’m around.”
The new Melrose Place is in development at CBS Studios. In the premise of the reboot, the Melrose Place residents reunite after the death of one of their friends, “but the pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”
So, would you want to see Lisa Rinna reprise her Melrose Place role as Taylor McBride? Comment below.

Sean Kanan’s Stepdaughter, Juliet Vega, to Appear on The Bold and the Beautiful
Coming up on this Friday’s April 26th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Juliet Vega, the stepdaughter to Sean Kanan will make an appearance on the CBS daytime drama series in the role of Michele.
Keeping it “All in the Family”, the character is named after Juliet’s real-life mother, and Kanan’s wife, writer and producer, Michele Kanan.
Back in 2012, Sean married Michele Vega and thus began their blended family which included his daughter, Simone, and Michelle’s children, Peter, Gigi, and her twins, Annie and Juliet.
According to a B&B show spokesperson, Juliet’s B&B character is intentionally named Michele in honor of her mother and Sean’s wife.
While we don’t know how “Michele” shows up in story, it is the same episode that Clint Howard makes an appearance as well seemingly tied to the case of where in the world is Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown)?
We can’t imagine that Juliet wouldn’t get the opportunity to mix it up on-screen with her stepdad, Sean Kanan. Previously, the two acted together in Sean’s streaming series Studio City, where she played the role of Delilah and he played soap actor, Sam Stevens. In it, Delilah is the bio-daughter Sam never knew he had.
So, looking forward to seeing Juliet on B&B and how ‘Michele’ turns up in the story? Comment below.

DAYS Alum Tanner Stine to Appear in ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ Starring Nicholas Chavez
I’m in still surprised, the legendary Lee Phillip Bell joined twitter. She is so down to earth, she even follow many of her fans.
Shes a beautiful, thoughtful lady…shes welcomed to join twitter and any other part of the social media…she and her late husband are legends for their contributions to daytime!
Maybe Lee Phillip Bell can slap her son Brad Bell up side the head and tell him to stop using all of those old scripts from the past and learn how to write something about fashions and real love without a third wheel. Let Steffy and Liam be happy. Get on the crew at Young and Restless for trying their best to destroy the show with all of the new none acting characters that Jill Phillip brought from GH. Why aged the kids so they can act like a dog in heat like Summer, Phyllis and ? seed, or Wako, like Fen, Lauren was a thief back in the day and Michael was the Devil # one man, but now Lauren is lust crazy with a Mafia nut who haven’t got enough of a brain to put in a thimble,who had the nerve to get smart with Michael, who can show him that he put the E in Evil. And Lily is no teen anger. Get real, Tyler is nothing but another cry baby, you already got two children. Victoria, grow up. You are a jealous acting child who claim to want a baby with Billy, but don’t have a problem leaving the baby you got. By the way, who was at home with you and Billy’s baby when he left the house also. Neither one of you need a child. Avery and whatshisname are getting on my nerves. Sharon will always be a loser. Chloe is so wrong giving advise about anybody baby after all the things she has done. Sharon has a big mouth. Leslie and her dad and brother need to take Fen/Summer/Avery/Whatshisname/Lily/ and all the rest of the cast wasting up air time back to the loony bin.
By the way, do Brad Bell know about any happy marriages? Are all the women in his mind like Brooke(KKL)?
I love that she is joining in on the social media side! She’s a talented and creative lady and she may get all sorts of ideas…
Will that poodle, which is present in every photo of Mrs. Bell over the past 5 years, also have a twitter account?
Surprised.
