LOS ANGELES — Get ready for some more drama around the pool.
Heather Locklear is returning to "Melrose Place," where the 47-year-old actress will reprise her role as the take-no-prisoners ad executive Amanda Woodward, the CW Network announced Tuesday.
"We're ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to 'Melrose Place,' executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer said in a press release. "Heather's involvement in the show is something we’ve been working on for some time as we couldn't imagine creating and producing this show without the iconic character’s inclusion."
Locklear will appear on an episode scheduled to air Nov. 17.
The vixen has been in talks to join the revamped series for several months.
Locklear was billed as a "special guest star" on the original "Melrose," even though she joined the series in the first season and remained on the show until it went off the air in 1999.
Original castmembers Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro have already appeared on the CW revamp, while Josie Bissett and Daphne Zuniga are also slated to make appearances.
