32 Years Later: Why the 1994 ‘Melrose Place’ Twist Remains One of the Most ‘Shocking’ Reveals in Television History ...Saudi Arabia

During its second season, the Beverly Hills, 90210spinoff was still finding its identity, even after the arrival of special guest star Heather Locklear helped save the series. But it was Kimberly Shaw’s (Marcia Cross) storyline that truly got viewers talking.

Kimberly was introduced as a doctor, opposite Thomas Calabro’s Michael Mancini. The two quickly connected, with sparks flying, and the married apartment manager soon began an affair with her.

After Michael tried to win Kimberly back, a drunk-driving crash appeared to kill her, temporarily ending the romance.

Season 2 eventually revealed Kimberly had survived the crash, and that her mother told Michael she had died in an effort to keep them apart.

But something was clearly wrong. Kimberly began suffering severe headaches and unexplained pain.

Then in the closing moments of the episode, came the moments fans still remember. Kimberly rose from the bed, walked into the bathroom, removed her wig, and exposed a massive scar on the side of her head.

Kimberly’s storyline only got wilder from there, including running Michael over, framing Jane and Sydney, and detonating bombs around the apartment complex in the Season 3 finale.

After 114 episodes, Kimberly ultimately died during the show’s fifth season following an aneurysm. However, her impact on television history continues to be talked about today, 32 years later.
