Grant Show Melrose Place

Show’s appearances on television attracted the attention of producer Aaron Spelling. Aaron felt that Grant had star potential and decided to cast him as Jake Hanson on a few episodes of the popular series Beverly Hills, 90210. This was in order to spin off the character as the lead in his next series Melrose Place. Ushering in with much fanfare (Show was on the covers of both TV Guide and People immediately after the series’ debut), the series’ ratings in its first season were not up to expectations. The show was revamped in the middle of the first season from an episodic straight-laced drama format to a melodramatic soap opera serial format in the tradition of Dynasty, one of Spelling’s earlier hits. The soap opera made him one of the most popular and best-known actors on American television during the 1990s. Show also played Jake in a guest appearance in the pilot of the Melrose spin-off Models Inc., and this made him the only actor to play the same character on the first three shows in the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise.

In 1997, Grant, Laura Leighton (an off-screen girlfriend of Show’s for a period), Doug Savant, Courtney Thorne-Smith and Marcia Cross left Melrose Place, and this led the show into a major decline. The show was cancelled two years later, though Grant later regretted his decision to leave, despite his dislike of the scripts during his final season.
