Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has moved into “Melrose Place,” and she tells PEOPLE that her offbeat character on the CW’s revival of the primetime soap isn’t all she appears to be. “She is a little weird,” the actress told PEOPLE Tuesday. “I have a so-called innocent side, but I think it’s just the persona that I’m giving to people. I’m only setting people up.”

Describing her character, Simpson-Wentz says, “Her name is Violet and she’s new to Melrose Place, new to L.A., looking for a family member — looking for any kind of family, looking for love. She’s really not accepted — not just yet. I think that’s something interesting, to play the outsider.”

Sounds like it has potential.
