Lifetime’s first season of “Project Runway” has been sorely lacking in delicious drama but it’s coming to an end Thursday.

Heather Locklear returns to “Melrose Place” to try to resuscitate the lowest rated show on broadcast network. Locklear entered “Melrose” back in the early 1990s and helped pump that version to life but can she do it again?

Check her out here in an exclusive clip from people.com.

The first two of many many Christmas specials also hit the airwaves – one naughty (Larry the Cable Guy on CMT) and one nice (Madagascar!).
