TwitterThe CW orders full season of 'Vampire Diaries' & more 'Melrose Place'
The bloodsucking and the bitchy are staying put on The CW.The network confirms that a full season of their breakout hit, "The Vampire Diaries," has been ordered, while five additional episodes of the struggling "Melrose Place" have been picked up as well.
The good news for "VD" is no shock since the series' numbers have been strong since its debut. Last week's hour attracted 3.8 million.
But "Melrose Place" -- which pulled just 1.5 million viewers last night -- may already be reaping the benefits of having Heather Locklear on board. The actress, who agreed to reprise her original "Melrose" role as Amanda Woodward last month, is set to begin appearing in episodes come November and the network has high expectations for her.
The ratings of the first "Melrose Place" series rose shortly after Locklear joined the show in the early 90s and there's no doubt that The CW is hoping to repeat a little history with her.

@Korbi: Vampire Diaries is not a "breakout hit" in any way, shape or form.
It's not a even a "hit" by any rational definition of the term.
The fact that Vampire Diaries is doing slightly less poorly than the other bombs on CW doesn't magically make it a hit.
This brain-dead decision (especially concerning the DOA Melrose Place (aka Gossip Girl: L.A.)) is just one more horrible decision by CW to pretend everything is A-OK even as it's lost 50% of its audience over the past three years.
I can gaurantee that Melrose Place will not see a second season.
Oh Rena... Why are you so angry? It is stupid television. Who really cares wheather some thing is a bomb or a clone of something. Really, It is nothing to get all bent out of shape about. You have issues. You should seek proffesional help.
The fact is Rena has no life. She hates the CW and it's shows,but she feels the need to come on here and let everyone know she hates it. Rena get a life and if you hate the CW so much quit reading about the network. Like the above person said..... it's TV. If you don't like it don't watch it.
reena wurks for abc or cbs or sumwher els. shes payd too say bad thengs abowt cw shos.
