Melrose Place Remake Gets Its Gay

It was only a matter of time before the producers of the Melrose Place remake -- scheduled to premiere September 8th on the CW -- announced who'd be playing the show's resident gay guy. Filling original gay resident Doug Savant's shoes? Former Playgirl centerfold and Sex and the City hottie, Victor Webster.

And for those who fear Webster's "Caleb" will suffer the same bland fate as Savant's "Matt", producers assure fans that they're intent on painting Caleb as a fully fleshed-out character.

Caleb will first appear in the show's second episode, according to After Elton. Caleb Brewer "smokes cigars, likes the Los Angeles Lakers, collects sports memorabilia, drinks scotch, likes guys, and is not afraid to admit it."

Sex and the City fans might remember Webster for his memorable appearance as Samantha Jones's afternoon insider trading/bed buddy.

Producers have confirmed that Webster will appear on the show frequently throughout the first season.
