Either Teege's standards are dropping, or this show is heating up just as it was about to get canceled.  You listen in and decide. Monique is planning to scale back her wedding since Adam spent $5,000,000.00 on his divorce from Grayson to get her out of their lives for good.  (Spoiler alert: it didn't work!)  Grayson is now a co-owner of Models, Inc. and is sending Monique on junk shoots.  Nude modeling, mud baths, etc.  Fun times. Eric is getting out of prostitution. Cynthia is getting...

What a wildly inappropriate title. Jane is paralyzed from the drug-induced stroke thanks to Sydney. Kimberly gets Sydney to act as Jane's caregiver, meaning Jane, Sydney, and Michael are all living together in the Beach House like one happy family in an open relationship. Matt has a live in boyfriend now, so that's an escalation. Amanda and Peter continue the inevitable march towards a love triangle with Bobby Parezi, this time using Alison as a fourth wheel, ignoring the fact that she is...

At long last, Mary is rescued from the basement and promises that today, on this good day, we will finally hear what happened to Puddle. Also, we find out who has been talking about us online. It's a Christmas Miracle! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melroseplacecast/message

In what was clearly a mid-season finale, Melrose Place amped up the drama! Sydney accidentally kills (?) Jane, with tranqs prescribed by Kimberly. Michael goes to a room full of doctors and demands that someone call 911 to ... get ... a ... doctor. Peter and Amanda continue to warm to each other. Jo has a change of heart about kicking Jane out of the business, but afterwards, Jane finds the paperwork so now she's super mad. Brooke finds out the pregnancy was a fraud, just as we thought....

Well, we are dealing with disordered eating in the most offensive way possible.  In fact, the boyfriend who recognized the problem had the audacity to say, "you've never looked better."  So that's not great. There is some incredibly blocking - with three models, each in the same pose, on the same chair, on the same patio, reading the same book, lean forward in their chair in the same outrage at something that has been written about them.  "DRUNK?!?"  "CRAZED?!?"  "PORNO STAR?!?"  Yelled one...

The title makes virtually no sense. Maybe they mean two scheming redheads are together again? Who knows. Either way, here's the rundown: Alison is back on the sauce, and Billy is going to be there to rescue her just as he makes it clear to everyone that he now hates his wife. Amanda and Peter find their renewed romance threatened by Bobby Kennedy Jr. for some reason. The story line is difficult to make sense of, said the writers, but they put it on TV anyway. Jane's plans to seduce...

At long last, after literally two years of taking a small joke WAY too far, we have finally been able to crack the case. Puddle has been found, and those responsible ... well ... perhaps they're listening right now! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melroseplacecast/message

In what world is this an appropriate title for this episode? Join us for this, and other deep questions as we are firmly entering the middle of season four. Hayley is gone, Alison is now a formerly blinded alcoholic widow with presumably no place to live, Billy is about to be a daddy and Brooke is furious and an adult orphan. Amanda and Peter continue to progress, but Amanda is daydreaming about Bobby Kennedy. Which, aren't we all, as long as we're referring to Bobby Kennedy...

Well, Adam turns out to be rather smart.  Something about getting shot through the heart with your own harpoon by your girlfriend/captive has a way of centering the mind.  He figures out that Ben and Grayson are in cahoots, and he sets up a scheme to catch them.  Grayson and Ben have Christmas Tree sex a generation before Lady Gaga's groundbreaking song of the same name, only for Ben and Adam to end up in a fist fight while Grayson claims that Ben "just wants to be like you when he grows...

What a wild ride season four continues to be! Kimberly is finding her sexual liberation, by seducing people at the radio station and the bar. Jake and Shelly have quite the week! At the start, our notes say, "Shelly makes him breakfast at the cabin" and a few lines later it says "Shelly slashes at him with a butcher knife." So I don't think it's going to work out for these little scamps. Amanda and Peter are continuing to be on again off again, with Bobby Not-Kennedy coming...

Throughout our journey searching for Puddle, the "other podcast hosts" have been prime suspects. This month, we are joined by Christopher, from Melrose Sheltering In Place who seems to have a lot of insights and details as to where Puddle has gone. Coincidence? Let's see. This is the end of the second year that the search for Puddle has been ongoing. Perhaps, at long last, it's over! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melroseplacecast/message

What didn't happen this week? Things continue to fly by at lightning speed. Amanda is at Jack's ... funeral? As in, he's at a funeral home, with a signboard with his name on it, but this isn't the real funeral. Amanda needs to sign a contract on the casket to send the body back to the family in Florida. Also, it's a closed casket, because they did not want to pay for another Anthony Sabato Jr. appearance. Kimberly desperately wants to be free from her bracelet that she has to wear...

Look, there's only one explanation - this had to be sweeps week. Come on board for this contentious episode. We recorded late, after a frustrating day, and Teege is audibly sick of it. But in the episode - we talk about storylines that could have been an entire season long, started, resolved, and forgotten, all in one episode. Haley proposes to Alison, she crashes in a plane, professes her love to Billy, and marries Haley in Mexico. Kimberly somehow forces Sydney out of her apartment...

KISS MY BUTT?!? Oh, the audacity of late-night television.  The coarseness of 90s nighttime soaps.  No wonder millennials turned out the way we (me, not Mary) did. This week, Sarah's drinking is back and she yells "kiss my butt!" at a hiring manager.  Cut to Hillary, all raggy, yelling it right back at her.  Sarah continues being drunk, gets fired from Models, Inc. - but still lands a lucrative contract thanks to her shiny hair. Cynthia is struggling through the recovery process as a...

Things are just getting wilder and wilder. And we're not just referring to the actor who played Reed Carter / Adam Louder! Amanda is standing vigil at Jack's bedside, reasonably confusing the nurse into believing that Amanda is praying for a speedy recovery. Instead, Amanda whispers death threats in his ear, considers pulling the plug, and beats Jack until he dies, leaving Sydney in the doorway to make it clear that she's here to enter the main event plot and blackmail Amanda, while...

Would you believe it - after nearly two years, we have managed to find Puddle!  It is unclear from our tipsters if Puddle is alive or dead, either gifting his fortune to an unfortunate or blowing up with the unfortunate in a rocket elevator.  Either way, we are HOT ON THE TAIL of sweet, sweet, murderer of children Puddle. If you or anyone you know has information on the whereabouts of Puddle, please post to social media using #justiceforpuddle or email your hot tip to...

Kimberly is the main character this week, and we couldn't be happier. She manages to be the central argument for all three of Mary's points this week. She confronts fake Henry, fights with Michael on Dr. Joyce Brothers' radio show, and gets called a poor, deluded psycho by Sydney. Meanwhile, Richard tells Jo he is Ricardo, Designer of Clothes, Ravager of Women. Some ethnic stereotypes coming in a bit too strong there, but we see what's happening. Jo and Richard are working closer...

Against all odds, the Models, Inc. 'Cast is back thanks to some legally questionable video acquisition practices by sweet guest star Gail. This week, Julie decides to stay with her stud boyfriend after threatening to ruin his life, only to see that he has moved out of his apartment, taken all his belongings, and left the place down to the studs. Carrie passes a note to Hillary and triggers the investigation needed to catch Dr. Sex in his scheme to, in the words of Hillary Michaels, "make...

Yes, we know that the title of the episode reads differently in different places, but we are sticking with what the source material (Paramount Plus) tells us. This week, eight story lines converge in one awesome Melrose Place Party. We Survived The Blast Of '95! Everyone, except Mackenzie Hart, is invited. The party was decidedly awful. Michael and Sydney showed up eating all of the meatballs and tormenting Kimberly. Kimberly showed up to apologize, stayed for the ENTIRE PARTY, and...

An important announcement for all fans of the Melrose Place 'Cast, Norma Rae, Teamsters, and Hollywood Executives: We're On Strike! In what is literally the least we can do, standing in solidarity with the Writer's Guild of America and members of the Screen Actors Guild, we are taking down all of our scheduled episodes for the month of August. See you in September, Sisters! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melroseplacecast/message

People of all ages - we found Puddle!  Puddle is alive, running around with nazis, and trying so hard to save Daddy's life by getting him some sweet sweet Stanley Cup Soup.   Finally, we can put this spin off to rest! Or can we? If you or anyone you know has information on the whereabouts of Puddle, please post to social media using #justiceforpuddle or email your hot tip to [email protected] Together, we will #findpuddle --- Send in a voice message:...

Brooke starts to become aware of a budding romance between Alison and Daddy thanks to a huge bouquet of rose buds coming from Daddy's favorite flower shop. Of course, that is the most strained line of logic to make the plot work, but it's probably good enough. Jane's mutiny is decidedly boring - hardly a mutiny if you ask us. And, you're downloading this episode, so we'd say you are asking us. But, the feud between Jane and Jo is starting now, as Jo is oddly invested in whether or not...

At this point, Models, Inc. knew they were in trouble and needed to boost the ratings to get renewed.  They did that by featuring Lara Harris (who's that?) and Emma Samms appearing as Grayson.  Who is Emma Samms?  Who knows.  But they made it clear this was a big deal.  She looks a bit like Lillith from Frasier. Anyway - five distinct story lines. Carrie is playing along with Dr. Sex to get released, but he realizes that she's been faking taking her pills, so he gets Hillary to lock her up...

It's a draw this week, if we discount the vote of our special guest, Gen Z expert, Nick. Kimberly's backstory and psychological trauma is revealed, as she witnessed her mother brutally attacked, and then killed the assailant. The assailant is back to haunt Kimberly, as the voice in her head telling her to kill Michael Mancini. Jack Parezi is legit in LA, and flirting with / stalking Brooke trying to find Amanda. To confirm: he can track everything about Brooke, based on her walking into...
