The new Melrose Place on the CW is already struggling and it seems that the execs over there think that by dumping Ashlee Simspson Wentz they will somehow save the show.  Thankfully Ashlee isn’t getting booted all by herself. Her co-star, Colin Egglesfield is also being dumped.

According to the executive producer, Todd Slavkinoth,  Colin and Ashlee seem to be taking the news fine,

“When you go into a show you never know what’s going to evolve and what the possibilities are. But because they knew ahead of time [that leaving was a possibility], it wasn’t a complete shock.”

Their final appearances will be in January.  Do you think these casting changes will help or hurt the show?  What’s next for Ashlee?  Better luck next time guys!
