It turned out to be a short-lived comeback for Ashlee Simpson Wentz. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Ashlee and her co-star Colin Egglesfield have been booted from the CW drama Melrose Place.

Both celebrities were fully aware from the get-go that their roles would be ending once the whole “murder mystery” that they were tangled in got resolved. That has happened and they have been given their walking papers.

Ashlee released the following statement, “Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill. Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity.”

The excitement doesn’t end here. Heather Locklear returned to Melrose Place a few weeks ago and word is that her next three episodes will involve a new love interest. Executive producer Todd Slavkin said that Locklear is going to appear in all episodes going forward and will be the show’s main focus.
