Leighton, 56, added that there were many “moving parts” involved in launching the new show. “The stars have to align, but we want it as much as the fans,” she said.

Melrose Place aired for seven seasons from 1992 to 1999. Created by Darren Star, the popular series was a spinoff Beverly Hills, 90210 and followed a group of young adults living in a drama-fueled apartment complex in West Hollywood, California. At one point, the show was so popular that the cast had to be escorted to a packed appearance at the Hard Rock Café in Los Angeles, Leighton told PEOPLE in July.

At Con Florida in the 90s, Leighton hinted at a resurgence Melrose Place’s original characters.

“The idea is what happens to these people 30 years later,” she explained. “There are all these fan stories, all these grand conspiracies and it’s just wonderful creative ideas, an example of everyone’s interest in where they would be. We were such an easy group of people. We loved each other then. We can’t think of anything better than to get back together and soon we will tell a new story.”

“What I miss most is working with a group of people and a team that becomes a family,” Leighton said at the time. “And it was really hard to go from that family for several years at a time, not on a daily basis. And I think that’s why we’ve all stayed in touch even, you know, through long periods of everyone’s lives taking different paths, but, going back at that time, I was always, just maintaining that cherished feeling of this group as a family.”
