[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 61392, member: 673"] I'm going to throw the cat among the pigeons here and suggest that we might never see Alexis or if we do see her, it'll likely be in a diminished role. The CW don't make glamour soaps about older folks. They're usually recurring background characters and those who did make it into the main cast of 90210 (Rob Estes, Jessica Walter & Lori Loughlin) were very quickly phased out. If Alexis does turn up, I'd be surprised if she ends up taking centre stage like Alexis did in the original. Like when Heather Locklear showed up in the Melrose reboot or Joan Collins showed up in Pacific Palisades, I was like "why is that lady hanging around with all of these young kids?". They just seemed out of place with the tone of the show. If they were to cast Alexis and go the British route like they did in the original, I'd like to see Polly Walker, who played bitchy Atia so well in HBO's Rome or Jaime Murray. [/QUOTE]
