"Some of the cast members may be the same, but the drama is all-new on tonight&amp;apos;s season premiere of Melrose Place, according to cast members Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Thomas Calabro and Laura Leighton.&amp;quot;It&amp;#x2019;s like a new show,&amp;quot; Calabro, who played Dr. Michael Mancini on the original &amp;apos;90s series, told Usmagazine.com at the CW&amp;apos;s Upfront Press Day. (Watch a clip above). &amp;quot;At the same time, I get to bring back a character I loved and had a lot of fun with. I&amp;#x2019;m looking forward to him being older and wiser and more handsome.&amp;quot;Agrees Laura Leighton, who plays landlord Sydney: &amp;quot;There will be plenty of opportunities to find out who really has a dark side underneath -- every character has the potential. There&amp;#x2019;s a bit of gray in everyone.&amp;quot;In the meantime, Simpson-Wentz is eager to introduce her character, Violet, to viewers for the first time. &amp;quot;None of us really know if we&amp;#x2019;re going to be the good girl or the bad girl, so we&amp;#x2019;ve all got life decisions to make,&amp;quot; Simpson-Wentz says of her character. &amp;quot;But I&amp;apos;d always rather [play the] bitch!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
