The producers of Smallville have now been named as the official producers of the new Melrose Place show.  With that said and done, they have also revealed the names of the new characters!

David Patterson – David is the now grown son of the original character Jake Hanson.  He is a total chick magnet with ripped abs and a black book that would make you jealous.

Ella Flynn – Ella is David’s sexually confused sometimes lover with an attitude

Jonah Miller – Jonah is a Kevin Smith (creator of Clerks, Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob and Chasing Amy) fanatic opposed to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.  (Isn’t it kind of ironic that Kevin Smith himself has styled his own movies and is an admitted fanatic of the 1980’s teen flick producer John Hughes, creator of The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink and Ferris Bueller just to name a few)

Riley Richmond – Jonah’s fiancée and a schoolteacher.  Unlike her fiancée, she is drawn to the Hollywood glitz and glamour.

Auggie Kirkpatrick – Auggie is a total hippie and a recovering alcoholic.  He is the super nice guy that sees the good in everyone.  I am sure that will change!

Violet Foster – Violet is the hick town girl turned bad.  Let’s just say that her boundaries will be explored…

This should be exciting!  I am looking forward to seeing what the new show will be named still.  I am expecting it to be simply Melrose, but we will have to wait and see.
