"           Eleven years ago, when the mysterious Eve Cleary walked through the gates of Melrose Place in its final season, veteran tenant Jane Mancini famously told her, &amp;quot;You might want to stay on your toes around here. I can count the survivors on one hand.&amp;quot; But Jane&amp;#039;s warnings be damned! Eve didn&amp;#039;t listen, and neither did the CW, who has thrown a new batch of characters into the seminal nighttime soap, where the cast will soon learn that the best revenge isn&amp;#039;t living well \u2013 it&amp;#039;s not staying dead. And who better to teach them this important lesson than their new landlord (and possible zombie) Sydney Andrews, who, despite being run over in the original show&amp;#039;s fifth season finale, will return unscathed. Below, ELLE revisits some of the other lost souls once devoured by the apartment complex&amp;#039;s bloody maws, and weighs the odds on whether they&amp;#039;ll make a dramatic return.            KIMBERLY SHAW (MARCIA CROSS) BACKSTORY  Crazier than Alexis Carrington and more evil than J.R. Ewing, she stole Michael from Jane, then tried to kill him, framed Sydney for it when she failed, stole Jo&amp;#039;s baby, tried to lock Peter in an insane asylum, and, oh yeah, blew up Melrose Place.  CAUSE OF DEATH Brain hemorrhage.  ODDS ON RESURRECTION 1-1: Kimberly developed multiple personality disorder in season five and often transformed into a manic 1950s housewife. We&amp;#039;re pretty sure Cross is already reprising that role on a little show called Desperate Housewives.            MATT FIELDING (DOUG SAVANT) BACKSTORY Known affectionately by many fans as &amp;quot;Gay Matt&amp;quot; for his exclusively gay-themed plotlines, if he wasn&amp;#039;t here and decidedly queer in any given episode, he wasn&amp;#039;t there at all.  CAUSE OF DEATH He left the complex without any enemies, and since nobody was plotting against him, nobody noticed or cared. He died in a car crash in the show&amp;#039;s final season the same way he spent most of the series \u2013 off-screen.  ODDS ON RESURRECTION 20-1: Shortly after leaving the show, Savant married co-star Laura Leighton, who plays the resilient Sydney, and now works alongside Marcia Cross as neighbor and househusband Tom Scavo. So he doesn&amp;#039;t really need a Melrose reunion \u2013 he&amp;#039;s already living one.            BROOKE ARMSTRONG (KRISTIN DAVIS) BACKSTORY The only Melrose schemer more inept than poor Sydney (who was tricked into being a prostitute, like, half a dozen times), overambitious Brooke clawed and connived, faked a pregnancy and attempted suicide, when really all she wanted was a little attention.  CAUSE OF DEATH She got drunk and fell in the infamous Melrose pool, hitting her head and drowning.  ODDS ON RESURRECTION 50-1: Davis&amp;#039; character was reportedly unpopular with viewers during the original Melrose, and we don&amp;#039;t think current audiences would take any more kindly to their beloved Charlotte York-Goldenblatt getting soused and hurling whiskey bottles at hot twenty-somethings. We&amp;#039;d rather see her clinking cosmos in the upcoming Sex and the City sequel.            CRAIG FIELD (DAVID CHARVET) BACKSTORY Like all Melrose characters, Craig arrived on the scene already sharpening his knife and waiting for someone to turn their back. But as with Sydney, his plans never quite worked out. So it was no surprise when the two fell in love while mutually conning each other, and even less of a surprise when their life together soon unraveled.  CAUSE OF DEATH Less than a year after watching Sydney killed (we thought) by a runaway car just steps from their wedding altar, a bereft Craig shot himself. His final words: &amp;quot;I just want to be with you again.&amp;quot; Awkward!  ODDS ON RESURRECTION 3-1: It may be wishful thinking, but Craig should at least have his chance to haunt Sydney a little. He did kill himself to be with her, after all. Besides, everyone in Melrose Place has skeletons in his or her closet \u2013 it&amp;#039;s about time there were a couple of ghosts too.   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
