Locklear provides small boost for ‘Melrose Place’<

HOLLYWOOD — It’s not much of a comeback story, yet.

Heather Locklear’s hyped return to The CW’s remake of “Melrose Place” did provide a bump in the ratings — but it was nowhere near as big a bump as the series seems to need.

Tuesday’s episode drew 1.54 million total viewers, according to overnight estimates — and as small as that tally is, it is up 20 percent from the week before and the show’s best delivery since Oct. 6. “Melrose” also saw upticks in women 18-34 (1.6/4) and women 18-49 (1.1/3).

Lead-in “90210” delivered 2.1 million total viewers and far better demos in women 18-34 (2.3/6) and women 18-49 (1.5/4).
