Spoiler alert:
Michael Mancini is married on the new Melrose Place.
Does this mean he's a changed man, no longer the cheating bastard that Thomas Calabro played so expertly on the original version of this show? Of course not.
We've seen the pilot episode and, trust us, Michael is still disloyal to his wife and, for the most part, his oldest son.
And just who will be playing the new Mrs. Mancini? As first reported by E! News, Brooke Burns is joining the cast for a multi-episode arc.
She'll play Vanessa, Michael's better half and the mother of his younger son, Noah.
Burns is best known for her role on Baywatch. She played Jessie Owens on that show from 1998-2001. She'll first appear on Melrose Place's third episode.
