Michael Mancini became one of the most central characters throughout Melrose Place‘s run. The doctor underwent a massive transformation from the earliest episodes to the show’s end. He went from someone who played by the rules to someone who couldn’t help but follow his impulses.
Of course, this led him to an endless series of romantic complications with pretty much all the women passing through the area of Melrose Place throughout the series.
Kelly Rutherford as Megan Lewis - Then
Kelly Rutherford was introduced to the show as the pretty face that Kimberly Shaw hired to help save her marriage. Good intentions don't go along way on the show, and as with any good storyline, Megan Lewis found herself involved in a love triangle.
It isn't surprising, as nothing was ever easy on Melrose Place, and Megan was always in the middle of a romantic entanglement throughout the rest of her time on the show.
Kelly Rutherford - Now
It's safe to say that Kelly Rutherford kick-started her long television career on Melrose. She made appearances on The District, E-Ring, and Threat Matrix. What put her on the map with a new generation of television viewers was her role as Lily van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl.
In addition to her work on television, she was involved in a highly talked about custody battle that went back and forth for three years from 2012 to 2015.
Thomas Calabro - Now
After seven years on air, Melrose Place wrapped, but Calabro was riding high. He was the only cast member to be a series regular for the entirety of the show's run. He went on to star in a series of television movies before eventually returning to the Melrose Place reboot in 2009.
Calabro continued to appear in guest roles in many popular television shows, before eventually returning to his soap opera roots. In 2015 he joined The Bay for two years.
Lisa Rinna as Taylor McBride - Then
Although she may be one of the more famous faces on Melrose Place, Lisa Rinna only joined the cast in the show's fifth season. Portraying Taylor McBride, the impact her character had on the storyline was irreversible. Just like many of the other characters on the show, Taylor finds drama.
She wins over her older sister's ex-husband, even though she is married to someone else. From the moment she moved to Melrose Place until the moment she left, there was no shortage of drama in Taylor's life.
