Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross has revealed that she is "too busy" to reprise her role in The CW's remake of Melrose Place.

The actress, who plays Bree Hodge on the ABC drama, starred as Dr. Kimberly Shaw in Melrose Place from 1992 until 1997, when her character was killed off.

Speaking to E! News about the possibility of returning in some capacity, she said: "I'm really busy. I never say never, but it's not the first thing on my mind."

When asked how she felt about the reboot, she replied: "I haven't really thought much about it. I really have almost no opinion except I wish them luck."

Earlier this month, Cross's Desperate Housewives co-star Felicity Huffman suggested that she should avoid returning to the show.

Former Supernatural actress Katie Cassidy and singer Ashlee Simpson have already been confirmed to star in the programme.
