Grant Show Says a Jealous Boyfriend Bit His Hand During 'Melrose Place' Fame

Grant Show has a fan story that sets the bar for every celebrity encounter ever. At’90s Con on Sunday, the“Melrose Place”alum told a People-moderated panel that a fan’s jealous boyfriend once bit his hand at a nightclub during the show’s peak. The woman kept paying attention to him, her boyfriend was“not very happy”about it, and the next thing he knew, the guy took his hand and bit it. Show tells it like it’s the most normal nightclub story in the world, which somehow makes it funnier.

The panel reunited Show with castmates Laura Leighton, Courtney Thorne-Smith and Daphne Zuniga, and they all looked back on what made“Melrose Place”so unforgettable. The series ran seven seasons from 1992 to 1999, with Jake Hanson first appearing on“Beverly Hills, 90210”before the spinoff took off. The cast said they knew the storylines were ridiculous at the time and deliberately played them with humor. That wink at the audience is probably why people still binge it decades later.

Fan encounters have changed a lot since the’90s, but the basic question hasn’t: where’s the line between being a superfan and being way too much? A hand bite feels like it clears that line by a mile, and yet here’s Grant Show making it sound charming. Have you ever seen a fan moment go completely off the rails? Tell us in the comments.
