No Melrose for Heather !!!

According to Ausiello, "One person who won't be moving back into Melrose Place? Heather Locklear. The actress -- who played the key role of Amanda Woodward on the original series -- has turned down an offer to join the cast of the CW's update of the hit Fox serial, EW has learned. "There wasn't a way to bring her back that made sense," says a source close to the situation. While the network and studio won't comment, her reps do confirm that Locklear has passed. It's no secret that the CW was aggressively pursuing Locklear and will likely want to secure another star from the original show. The reboot, which is slated for the fall, has already cast Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Jessica Lucas, Michael Rady, and Katie Cassidy."
What do they mean "no way to bring her back that made sense" ?? She could just be the owner of the building like she used to be !!! What the hell ?!! If she's not in, appart from maybe Grant Show/Jake (but he previously said no) or Michael, there is NO way they can get anyone else from the original cast so what's the point of even calling it aa Melrose reboot ??
