Melrose Place

Ok so I've found my new guilty pleasure... Melrose Place on the CW or whatever network that is. Only I don't watch it when it's on because I always miss it... so I watch it online haha. But really, it's great. Ashlee Simpson is on it and she's like the worst actress of all time and she plays this crazy psychopath. Everyone on the show is obviously ridiculously good looking and everyone has a deep dark secret. It takes place in California and it's about all these twenty-somethings that live in an apartment complex. It's the same premise that the original show had, and it's wicked dramatic.

Auggie is my favorite character, and yes it's mainly because I think he's the best looking. He's a chef at a resturant and the first episode insinuated that he killed the landlord of the complex who was an older lady that had relations with two of the young men in the complex, Auggie and David, as well as David's father.

David grew up in a trailer park but his mom died of cancer when he was about 9 or something and his mom called his dad to tell him he had a son and that he had to take care of him. David's dad is extremely wealthy and kind of had a family already so that screwed things up for him so now David's dad resents David blah blah.

Ella is a publicist who puts her job before everything else in her life and is a real hard-ass. She hardly ever shows emotion but she definitely has a secret crush on Jonah and I'm calling it right now. Why else would she try to get in between him and his fiance all the time?

Jonah is an up and coming film director but can't seem to get past making Bar Mitzvah and birthday party videos. He asks his fiance Riley to marry him the first episode and she hesitates for a day before saying yes.

Riley shows further reservations when she accidentally kisses Auggie when she's drunk and pissed at Jonah. She's a school teacher and Ella always makes fun of her for it because she thinks she's too simple for Jonah.

Lauren, Ella's roommate, is a med student who's dad just got laid off so she needs to find a new way to pay for med school. She can't get a loan or anything but really wants to be a doctor so she goes for the only decision she has, prostitution. She becomes an escort kind of on accident when this cute nice rich guy that asks her on a date asks her at the end of the date if she'll have sex with him and he'll give her like $2,000 for school. She can't pass this up and ends up also having relations with his friend for the same thing. In the latest issue she hooks up with this one guy but he doesn't pay her and then he pushes her into a wall and bruises her.

Violet, my least favorite, is Ashlee Simpson and she's a certified psychopath. She claims to be the landlord, Sydney's daughter even though Sydney (before she died) insists that she is not. Violet becomes a suspect in Sydney's murder after she flees from the cops when they come to question her and she jumps out the window. Riley ends up bailing her out of jail.

So that's just an overview. It's a pretty stupid show to be honest but I find myself infatuated with it haha. It's on Tuesdays at 9, or you can watch it online whenever like me :)
