Ashlee Simpson, who was happy mom and happily married, encountered a career bump: her character in Melrose Place will be killed off the show.
The executive producer dished the scoop that Ashlee was always set to leave after the twelfth episode. Although the move may have been in the cards, a source revealed that Ashlee wasn’t popular with viewers so the CW decided to get rid of her for the sake of the show.
It seems the decision did not affect Ashlee because she was still excited about being on the set, raving about co-stars Heather Locklear and Brooke Burns.
