Back together! The cast of Melrose Place reunited for the first time in eight years while appearing on the YouTube series Stars In The House on Wednesday
The good ole days: Marcia Cross, Courtney Thorne-smith, Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga, Amy Locane, Kristin Davis in the 1990s
Heather looked beautiful in a black top that had one shoulder down with her blonde hair worn in a chic bed head style.
The Dynasty vet, who has been sober for one year, was in her Thousand Oaks, California mansion that she is staying in during self-isolation with her daughter Ava Sambora.
The beauty said that the show was ‘pretty fun’ and she got a kick out of playing the outrageous Amanda Woodward even joking, ‘I don’t think like that in real life, maybe sometimes.’

When asked if she would like to play Amanda again she said a very definite yes.
‘Yeah it would be fun to play Amanda again at the ripe old age of 58!’ she said.
The ex of Richie Sambora said she loved the cast and crew, sometimes doing two episodes at a time.
Her take: Courtney added that it started as a small show that they filmed in Santa Clarita, 30 minutes outside LA, but the series became talked about when Heather signed on as conniving Amanda. ‘Heather came on, and suddenly we had a villain, and it just took off,’ she said.
Before Heather joined the show: Josie Bissett, Thomas Calabro, Andrew Shue, Courtney Thorne-smith, Vanessa Williams, Doug Savant, Grant Show, Amy Locane in 1992
And said that all the work created a real ‘bond’ between everyone.
‘I don’t think anyone expected it to be what it was,’ said Josie.

Cross – who helped assemble the cast after talking to Laura – said she was happy ‘the gang’s all here’ and that they all wanted to help the Actor’s Fund.
‘It’s just fantastic what you guys are doing,’ she told the hosts.
Marcia also talked about finding out her character could make a return to the show, right before she filmed her death scene.
‘I got a phone call from them saying, “Would you like to come back at the end of the year?” I said, “I don’t understand, I’m driving off a cliff today, I’m dying (on the show)”‘ she said.
A new level: ‘It was like a well-oiled machine, I don’t remember getting much direction,’ said Daphne. Zuniga added it was her first TV show and when she started she took time to prepare, but the crew told her to move faster.
She sparred with Heather’s character: Daphne played a photographer who did not get along with Locklear’s Woodward; also seen here is Show
‘And they said, “No, no, no, we’re going to change that.” So I went away for a few months and then came back.’
‘It was like a well-oiled machine, I don’t remember getting much direction,’ said Daphne.
