Heather Locklear really does have something goin' on. Maybe it's her 30 years of experience in series television or maybe it's that her boobs look fantastic, but whatever the source of her power, Locklear's ability to transform TV shows appears to remain entirely intact.

Heather Locklear (re)joins the cast of Melrose Place this coming Tuesday, and it looks like she still has exactly the chilly authority the CW needs to up Melrose's profile in TV land. Melrose's prospects remain realistically dim, but should Heather's arrival generate enough buzz and a moderate ratings increase, the show might live out the season and be considered for a second year. It's hard to tell what people really want from their nighttime soaps, so who's to say why the show is struggling, but Locklear's involvement is as likely as any other effort to bring about a series renewal.

Now, as for the content of these three sneak peeks, Amanda's definitely moving in to Ella's (Katie Cassidy) PR firm, but where will she live now that she's back in town? Find out:

Melrose Place airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on the CW. Do you think Heather Locklear's arrival will goose the ratings in the way that network suits and producers must be hoping it will?
