Call me shitty. Just Jared is reporting that the CW has opted to pick up such shows as the Vampire Diaries and Supernatural for the next season of teen drama. However, they did not opt to renew Melrose Place, prompting me to ask this question: What the hell? For all the deets, head to Just Jared.com.

UPDATE: Some of my tweeps are reporting that no official decision has been made about the fate of Melrose Place and that a decision would be announced in May. Stay tuned!

Rumors are swirling that Melrose Place will not be picked up by the CW and negotiations with One Tree Hill are rocky. The good news? Soapnet is ready to scoop up the primetime sudser if the CW doesn’t.

Per Spoiler TV:

One Tree Hill: There are some messy contracts and negotiations and it could go either way but even if renewed it will likely have budget cuts and maybe lose more cast members and producers. SOAPnet has the option of renewing it if the CW were to cancel it.

According to Zap 2 It News & Buzz, William Baldwin has been cast as Serena’s absentee father. Look for him to appear in April!

E! news is reporting Rob Estes will leave 90210 after the current season. Just last week, co-star Jennie Garth’s last week announced that she too will be leaving the show.

If you visit the 411 on Soaps often, you know we are big fans of the CW and it’s many prime time dramas, as long as they are worth the hype. Such shows include Melrose Place, 90210, and Gossip Girl. That list may not include upcoming Life Unexpected, which is supposed to appease us until our regularly scheduled programming returns. It isn’t that the premise is so ridiculous, it’s the actors’ ages I can’t begin to take seriously in correlation with the storyline. A young girl is put up for adoption and goes in search of her real parents, whom she finds, they offer her a stable home….yada, yada, yada…

However, there is a plus to this show, Kerr Smith is in it, which prompts my interest to be peaked.

So, the moral of the story is: If you like light drama with a feel good twist, this may be the show for you. We, however, might be sitting this one out. Tell us what you think. Leave us a comment below!

This New Years Day, watch 10 hours of back-to-back One Tree Hill episodes on SOAPnet. Whether you are just refreshing your memory, or watching for the 1st time, OTH is more entertaining than half the crap you will find on tv that day. I promise!

Jonathon from Daytime Confidential is reporting that Yen Press is going to be releasing an original English language manga for Gossip Girl, titled Gossip Girl: For Your Eyes Only. The series will be published in the monthly anthology Yen Plus. Hmmm. Interesting. Will you be checking out this new addition to GG? Leave us a comment below and let us know what you think. Thanks!
