Can Heather Locklear save Melrose Place a second time?

The experiment begins tonight when the 48-year-old Locklear joins the updated Melrose Place. The series airs on CW, but if you don't get CW, Melrose Place can be seen everywhere in Canada tomorrow night on Global.

The original Melrose Place was at risk of cancellation soon after its debut in 1992, but it became a huge success after Locklear joined the cast as scheming Amanda Woodward in 1993.

The current Melrose Place is in a similar bind as it struggles for ratings and relevance.

Tonight, Ella (Katie Cassidy) and Caleb (Victor Webster) are stunned when agency owner Amanda arrives unexpectedly and immediately fires half the staff, including Caleb.
