Locklear, known for her iconic roles on âMelrose Placeâ and âDynasty,â joined âSpin Cityâ during its fourth season. Starring as Caitlin Moore, she portrayed a savvy campaign manager. She worked alongside Foxâs character, Mike Flaherty, the deputy mayor of New York City. It was a pivotal period during his career after he revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinsonâs disease. But despite the years, it’s clear these two still enjoy each other’s company and are living life to the fullest!
Heather Locklear & Michael J. Fox: The Legacy of âSpin Cityâ & Beyond
âSpin Cityâ aired from 1996 to 2002, with Locklear joining just before Fox stepped away at the end of Season 4. Fox, whose career skyrocketed with the legendary âBack to the Future,â revealed in a 2019 interview with The New York Times that his Parkinsonâs diagnosis had unfortunately affected his physical performance on the sitcom. âI could pull a face; I could do a double take. And one of the reasons I left “Spin City” was that I felt my face hardening,” he said. Despite these challenges, Fox never left acting entirely. Excited about his next steps, fans can look forward to his return in the upcoming third season of Apple TV+âs âShrinking,â starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford.
Locklearâs reunion with Fox highlights the enduring connection between the two stars and the affection fans have for the show and for their ultimate bond. During a panel at 90âs Con in Daytona Beach last year, Locklear reflected on working with both Fox and his successor, Charlie Sheen, noting, âTheyâre brilliant. They know how ⦠one is fast-talking and the other is slow.â Her comments underscore the playful and adaptive energy required to match the iconic personalities that brought âSpin Cityâ to life.
Where They Are Now
Beyond the reunion, Locklear remains active in the entertainment world and has expressed interest in reprising her iconic âMelrose Placeâ character, Amanda Woodward. On the 2025 Fan Expo Canada panel, she quipped about the role, âI always got to throw the desk up and throw the man on top of it, and then me on top of that. So yes, who wouldnât like that?â Meanwhile, Fox continues to champion Parkinsonâs awareness through his foundation while preparing fans for his return to TV. We canât wait to see him shine on the screen again!
Their reunion is a reminder of the enduring power and appeal of “Spin City” and the chemistry between its stars to this day. Whether through Instagram photos or upcoming projects, Locklear and Fox continue to captivate audiences and prove that true television magic never really fades.
