She enters the show in the season's fourth episode, and I clearly remember her being in pictures from this shoot, standing in the top left right next to Jack Wagner (Peter) and behind Brooke Langton (Samantha). It's all the more surprising that she was actually one of the only "second generation" characters (along with Kyle and Megan) that were kept around until the end. At least the show has not been permanently abandoned, so I'll stop complaining for now and wait until the price becomes reasonable for a 3-disc 13-episode set to add it to my collection.
I agree with your sentiments. I am a big fan of Melrose Place, but not with the volume releases. It appears this is the only way shows are going to be released. It is sad that TV is showing shows like Jersey Shore, New Hawaii Five-O, etc.
After S5 in my opinion Melrose Place dropped off, especially with addition of new cast members and leaving of Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Leighton and Grant Show. S6 will see the end of Billy's character or Andrew Shue. I am glad to see it is coming out, but at this rate it will take another 5 years for this to be completed. I will be pushing 50 by that time.
