In the 1990s, "Melrose Place" was a wildly popular primetime soap opera with a cast of characters who led drama-filled lives in Los Angeles. But in the midst of their bed-hopping, blackmail and love triangles was one relatively stable character, played by Josie Bissett.

Bissett starred as Jane Mancini, the fashion-designer wife of a doctor. As Bissett tells "Oprah: Where Are They Now?", she always felt a strong connection to Jane's personality.

"She was one of the only characters on the show that was sound and sweet," Bissett says. "I related to that."

"Melrose Place" became a hit, though the series began much more mild than it ended. Initially, it focused on the common challenges of several 30-somethings trying to live out their dreams. As far as television shows go, Bissett felt that it was a winning formula.

"There was nothing else like that out on TV yet, [showing] real issues," Bissett points out. "But then, we brought on Heather Locklear."
