Heather Locklear is reprising her role as the sassy ad executive Amanda Woodward, "The Insider" confirms. 

Locklear, 47, will return to "Melrose Place" in an episode scheduled to air on Nov. 17.

“We’re ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to 'Melrose Place,'” executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer said in a statement. “Heather’s involvement in the show is something we’ve been working on for some time as we couldn’t imagine creating and producing this show without the iconic character’s inclusion.”

Other characters returning from the original series include Sydney Andrews (Laura Leighton), Dr. Michael Mancini (Thomas Calabro), Jane Andrews (Josie Bissett) and Jo Reynolds (Daphne Zuniga).

The new "MP" airs Tuesday nights on The CW.

  • I'm glad the Heather Locklear is coming back. "Melrose Place" isn't the same without her. I also glad that Daphne Zuniga is also coming back.
