Heather Locklear had boyfriend Lorenzo Lamas by her side as she reunited with her Melrose Place co-stars for a nostalgic weekend in Connecticut.
The 65-year-old actress attended 90s Con at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford on Sunday, 18 October, joining a panel celebrating the much-loved drama.
Reflecting on how she unwound after filming its dramatic storylines, Heather offered a refreshingly simple answer: she "went home and I took a nap and I felt grounded". Lorenzo attended the event but did not join the panel.

Heather's portrayal of Amanda Woodward remains one of her best-known roles. It earned her four consecutive Golden Globe nominations, while her subsequent work on Spin City brought two further nominations.
