'Melrose' moment
     Now that "Melrose Place" is set to do its swan song this season, series regular Rob Estes he's looking "first and foremost to being a father." He and his wife, actress Josie Bissett, are expecting a baby this summer. Career-wise, he's looking at landing another TV series, he says. "Having a family, it would be nice to be in town and have a steady gig,"
     Estes has also been establishing himself as a director. He helmed tonight's episode of "Melrose Place," which proved to be intense in front of and behind the cameras. "It was a very large episode. We had stunts and fires and this big race," says Estes. "And my character, Kyle, finally hits rock bottom in his drug stupor, burns down the dream house he and Amanda (Heather Locklear) have built and ends up in rehab."
