Ashlee Simpson's return to TV acting was short-lived, as it's been announced today that Jessica's kid sis won't be living at Melrose Place after a few more episodes.

In an interview on EW.com, Melrose executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer confirm that both Ashlee and co-star Colin Egglesfield will be packing up and leaving the struggling CW reboot of the '90s hit.

Slavkin explains that the "Who Killed Sydney?" storyline is — as planned — drawing to a close and, "we always knew that Ashlee's character of Violet would be instrumental in that as a suspect, and Colin's character of Augie as well. And once that murder mystery was solved, she would go on her way. That was the original plan going into the development of the show."

He also says that once the mystery is resolved, the tone of Melrose Place is "going to shift into a much more fun, romantic, sexy upbeat kind of show."
