This show was filled with so much stuff, you could barely keep track of who was sleeping with who! This prime-time soap opera was like a 90's version of Dynasty, but better. The show started of with a simmer, but shot off into the Nielsens' ratings when Aaron Spelling brought on Heather Locklear as the bitchy Amanda Woodward and when Dr. Kimberly Shaw returned from the dead after "dying" in a car wreck with fiancee Michael. If people were to describe Melrose Place, you would hear all of these: murder, sex, adultry, backstabbing, secrets, lies, jeolousy, and hate. The show was in the top of the Nielsens by the end of the 1994-1995 season when psycho Kimberly planted four bombs in the famous apartment complex. After seven seasons, I've managed to pick ten moments that were the most memorable. Here they are, but not in order:
1. Kimberly Shaw shows up on the beach watching Michael and Sydney, after "dying" in a fiery car wreck.
2. Jane and Sydney struggle in the Melrose pool over the family heirloom wedding dress.
3. The famous Melrose Place pool side explosion, thanks to wacko Kimberly who had set the thing up to kill everyone.
4. Sydney is struck and killed by Samantha's car, seconds after marrying Craig Field.
5. Kimberly rips off her wig to reveal a huge scar on her head.
6. Amanda punches Taylor after finding out she was sleeping with Peter.
7. Kimberly runs over Michael in Jane's car.
8. A drunk Brooke hits her head by the pool and drowns, while Billy and Alison are heading on a date.
9. Amanda accidentally causes her long lost husband Jack Parezi to fall from a balcony.
10. Richard Hart is buried alive when his hand comes shooting out from the dirt like something from the movie "Carrie".
