Though The CW has not followed FOX and ABC in officially making numerous pilot pickups, Variety reports that “Melrose Place” and “Vampire Diaries” are nearly locks.<\/p>\n

Producers for both shows have been “aggressively” shopping for staff, a strong indication that they will appear on The CW’s lineup when it is announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The former a reimagining of the 90s soap in the vein of the\u00a0network’s<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0“90210” redo and the latter based on the books and from “Dawson’s Creek”‘s Kevin Williamson, both have been considered strong contenders for series pickups throughout the pilot season.<\/p>\n

According to THR, a final open spot on the\u00a0schedule<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0will likely either go to new pilots “Beautiful Life,” “Life Unexpected,” or a second season of “Privileged,” which recently became a solid contender for a renewal.<\/p>\n

Once the heart of The CW’s pilot buzz, the “Gossip Girl” spin-off has lost a significant amount of its heat. No longer considered a sure thing (many, in fact, have completely written its chances off), the series, which tracks Lily in her teenage years, might have to hope for a midseason roster slot. The backdoor pilot, built into this past week’s “Gossip Girl,” drew an uninspiring 1.6\/3 rating and failed to make industry waves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nOptimism For "Melrose Place," "Vampire Diaries" at The CW<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Though The CW has not followed FOX and ABC in officially making numerous pilot pickups, Variety reports that "Melrose Place" and "Vampire Diaries" are\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/05\/17\/optimism-for-melrose-place-vampire-diaries-at-the-cw\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Optimism For "Melrose Place," "Vampire Diaries" at The CW\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Though The CW has not followed FOX and ABC in officially making numerous pilot pickups, Variety reports that "Melrose Place" and "Vampire Diaries" are\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/05\/17\/optimism-for-melrose-place-vampire-diaries-at-the-cw\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-05-17T22:49:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/05\/17\/optimism-for-melrose-place-vampire-diaries-at-the-cw\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/05\/17\/optimism-for-melrose-place-vampire-diaries-at-the-cw\/\",\"name\":\"Optimism For \\\"Melrose Place,\\\" \\\"Vampire Diaries\\\" at The CW\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-05-17T22:49:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2009-05-17T22:49:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Though The CW has not followed FOX and ABC in officially making numerous pilot pickups, Variety reports that \\\"Melrose Place\\\" and \\\"Vampire Diaries\\\" are\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/05\/17\/optimism-for-melrose-place-vampire-diaries-at-the-cw\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
