Series Star... After twelve months of rumouring and denying, then admitting and announcing, planning and prepping, the renovated “Melrose Place” was born on The CW - a year after it also resuscitated “90210.” According to official identikits, the seven new characters - in the same apartment complex as the 1990s original - are... wannabe film-maker Jonah Miller (Michael Rady); hunky hippy and “recovering alcoholic” Auggie Kirkpatrick (Colin Egglesfield); “straight-arrow” med student Lauren Yung (Hong-Kong-born Australian Stephanie Jacobsen) on such hard times she “trades sexual favors for financial ones;” PR wiz Ella Simms (Katie Cassidy), with a tongue as sharp as her stilettos; small-town teen Violet Foster (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Jessica’s singer-actress sister), “fresh off the turnip truck”... but no innocent. And our “Melrose” visitor... Shaun Sipos is the essential goodlooking bad boy, David Breck, son of the previous version’s Jake Hanson, “with the taut abs and thick black book to prove it.” (The PR girl is his omnisexual lover). Shaun is of Hungarian descent. Like co-star Jessica Lucas, he’s also from British Columbia. He’s been seen in various numerics - “Final Destination 2,” “The Grudge 2.” “Skulls 3.” Mel Gibson hand-picked him for his TV comedy, “Complete Savages.” Shaun has also worked on “CSI: Miami,” “E.R,” “Shark,” “Smallville” and “Southland.” The Sipos frise is just beginning.
