One of the most outrageous characters on the show was the one and only Kimberly Shaw. Of course, you could argue that all of the show’s characters were outrageous, but Shaw outdid them all.
Her behavior was erratic – which had something to do with the car accident she was involved in early on in the series. Her storylines were very creative and were often linked to medical problems that she endured throughout the show’s running.
Linden Ashby as Dr. Brett Cooper - Then
As a surgeon, Dr. Brett Cooper loved his professional reputation, one that exceeded the ones of the other doctors in appearing on the show. That being said, navigating a brilliant career wouldn't stop him from taking part in the ongoing drama that plagued Melrose Place.
Cooper's actions would eventually reach an all-time low, and that's when he decided to leave town rather than face the repercussions of his actions.
Linden Ashby - Now
Linden Ashby would remain an integral part of Melrose Place for five years before departing for more significant roles. Towards the end of his time on the show, he took a position on the series, Spy Game, where he would only last one season.
From 2009 to 2013, the actor made several guest appearances in the television drama, Army Wives. He eventually moved on to the show Teen Wolf, which aired in 2011.
Marcia Cross - Now
Marica Cross has a way of bringing alive every one of her characters to life - which may be an advantage of being a Julliard graduate. Her best-known role was her longtime portrayal of Bree Van De Kamp on Desperate Housewives, which aired for eight years.
In 2015, Marica started acting on the series, Quantico, playing Clair Haas until 2017. These days, the talented actress is on both Youth and Consequences.
Denise Richards as Brandi Carson - Then
Early on in her career, Denise Richards joined the cast of Melrose Place for several episodes that focused on her playing a beauty pageant contestant who would do anything to win.
Her schemes included bribing the judges in some inappropriate ways for a teenage girl. Brandi Carson learned her ambition from her mother, who pushed her into a secret rendevous with a much older Michael Mancini - before attempting to sue him for his actions.
