Not gonna happen.

That's what Jennie Garth tells us of the possibility that she may take part in the just-announced Melrose Place remake that the CW network is planning.

Refresher course: Garth, who's now starring in the See-Dub's 90210 redo, was the "L.C." of Melrose Place back in the day—the leading lady who moved viewers from the original show (Beverly Hills, 90210) to the spinoff (Melrose).

So why not this time?

Only Jennie knows. Still, it was clear when she chatted up E!'s Michael Yo that she's not interested in appearing on the new Melrose Place in the works. "No. I...no," she said when Yo asked if we'd see her there. "I think they should keep it separate. And no, I don’t want to do it."

Jennie also admitted that her Aaron Spelling Alumni Newsletter must have been delayed in the mail, because she had to hear the news of the Melrose like the rest of us: Through the grapevine.

"I just heard that today on set," she said. "And I was like, 'What?!?' It just makes me laugh. They're doing that one, too! I love it!"

What do you think about the possibility of a new Melrose Place? Would you like to see Jennie on the show? Who else?
