Episode Synopsis: MELROSE PLACE “Grand” Episode 3 – Jonah (Michael Rady) is furious when he learns that Riley (Jessica Lucas) hasn’t told her family or friends that she and Jonah are engaged.

Layout Complete!
I have finally finished with completing all aspects of the new layout! I do hope that everyone enjoys it!
The content pages are still missing and I will be working on re-creating those weekend… Also tonight, I have added photos and/or promotional images from all but 8 of Taryn’s films. That’s a lot of different movies! lol As I mentioned before, there is still a long way to go to get the gallery back to where it was, but I am working on it.
Please feel free to leave your thoughts on the new layout in the comments section of this post!
We’re Back… Sorta
I wanted to re-open the site as soon as possible, so here we are! There are currently over 2,000 photos uploaded back into our photo gallery. I’m still working on re-adding stuff there and it will take a while to get the 9,000+ photos that we did have there. :(
As you can see, we have a brand new layout here! I am still in the process of tweaking things – so its not completely done yet.
Thanks for sticking by us and I’ll be updating the site some more tomorrow!
Taryn Manning On Melrose Place
Combining her love for music and acting Taryn Manning will be appearing as herself, a singer/songwriter, in the third episode of The CW’s Melrose Place airing Tuesday, September 22 (9:00/8:00c). She plays a singer whose music video is directed by aspiring filmmaker Jonah (Michael Rady).
Taryn in fact has been in the studio working on material for her upcoming solo album. With only two tracks completed, buzz is already starting to build as “So Talented”, the first song written for the album with producer Linney (Darkchild Entertainment) will be featured within the episode.
Aside from her solo efforts, Taryn is the lead singer of the band Boomkat, with her brother Kellin. The band released their sophomore album A Million Trillion Stars earlier this year and recently released their latest single, “Stomp”, co-written by Mike Elizondo (50 Cent, Gwen Stefani, Pink, Jay Z). – Anti Music
