Get ready to party like it's 1993, because Variety is reporting that Heather Locklear is being called upon to save Melrose Place yet again by reprising her role as legendary bad girl Amanda Woodward. Locklear is credited with revitalizing the show and transforming it from Beverly Hills 90210's lumpy, quasi-working class older sibling to a batshit insane, deranged campfest during her first stint on the show. Will she accomplish the same this time around?

We've never actually watched either incarnation of the show (cause we're too busy racing motorcycles and finding a cure for Cancer) yet we remain, as always, cautiously optimistic.
