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.
Doug Savant as Matt Fielding - Then
In every soap opera, there are more villains than there are good guys. Matt Fielding was one of the good guys, and he managed to stay that way throughout the show's running, which isn't surprising considering he worked as a social worker.
That being said, he loved some good drama, even if it wasn't his own. He would always love unraveling a good mystery. Matt was also a medium for the show to talk about issues that weren't often considered in the early 1990s.
Doug Savant – Now
After the show ended, Doug was ready to move on and try and make it big - both in movies and more substantial television roles. After a short stint on 24, he began another drama-filled show as Tom Scavo on Desperate Housewives.
He starred as Scavo for the entirety of its run. After Desperate Housewives ended, he had a series of guest roles in several different shows, including NCIS: New Orleans.
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 as Michael Mancini - Then
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.
