Laura Leighton will reprise her role as Sydney Andrews on the new version of “Melrose Place,” the Hollywood Reporter says. Despite being mowed down by a car on her wedding day in the fifth-season finale of the show in 1997, her character will return as the landlord on the new version, the trade paper says. Also joining the show is Shaun Sipos, who will play the son of the original show’s Jake Hansen, the Reporter says.
