I think he knows she only truly loves Jack and is jealous, only time will tell if he really is against Emily

Patrick and Victoria has some sexual sparks of chemistry, quite incestuous for a mother and son :eek: but I hope Patrick gets with Nolan

Charlotte has got even more annoying

Bit of fireworks between himself and the daughter too when he was topless in the hotel room.

Mister R · 03-10-2013 10:13pm

Yeah there was, hot as he is he has a creepy vibe to him. Wonder what his back story will be.

Ok that whole laptop thing went by too quick I didn't catch what she was doing :pac:

She took out her USB stick and loaded a program that overwrote Conrad's blood samples results on the hospital computer (which found him to have had no illness) that said he had Huntingtons. Before his speech Emily had slipped something in his drink akin to the first ever episode when he was shagging Lydia in the local hotel and Emily slipped something in his food while she was in disguise and it gave him chest pains

He had to step down as governor straight away in light of this development as you cant be seriously ill and in office.

Emily made sure it broke to the media so Conrad had even time to decide on the matter.

Who shoots Emily in the end???? My bets on Charlotte

She had him sometime in the 1970s and he looks to be in his twenties

Anyone still think David Clarke is alive???? I have this niggling feeling he could be.

The actor is actually 36 but yes he looks young, also his sandy hair makes him seem not like Victoria's son, I expected more a dark haired type of guy.

how are you all managing to watch it? I tried watching it on ABC but just get an error message.

Why don't Aidan tell Victoria that Emily is really Amanda Clarke if he is in legion with Victoria really to get back at Emily as he now seems to hate her so Charlotte loses the baby and isn't mad with Conrad for Declan's death, too many plots just sizzled out too quick in this premiere imo

Maybe he's going to bring them down from the inside?

Mister R wrote: »

He may turn out to be

Amanda's half brother? As Victoria was spreading it about a lot then!

Did Amanda slip something into Conrad's bottled water, i could have sworn i saw that scene somewhere?

As clues who shot Emily:

Daniel for deceiving him on their wedding day on Aug 8-double infinity, although nothing lasts forever

Charlotte, as she's Charlotte

Ashley for getting deported, although it depends if she comes back?

Jack for FauxManda getting killed as finding out who she is, gets built up inside.

I assume this is set in the summer & they get married toward the end of the season leading upto an explosive finale to finish it off its reported to be the finale?

Alfred Borden · 07-10-2013 2:40am

very very good episode tonight so far

Alfred Borden · 07-10-2013 3:03am

great episode, much improved on last week, great scene at the end with conrad and emily too

Patty O Furniture · 07-10-2013 6:03pm

The Lord does move in mysterious ways, just don't

get in Emily's way

Although

has she gone far enough

Charlotte being Charlotte being moody. Still a lot of storylines missing from last season?

Line of the week:

Margo made me an offer, but I'm sleeping on it

Good, last season was atrocious.

Think they are just pretending it never really existed and getting back to basics this season. Emily even had a 'let us never mention The Initiative again' line in the first episode.

To be honest, this seems like exactly the type of twist that will be required as I think they have pushed the storyline too far beyond the original premise.

I hope it doesn't happen, but I can't really see where exactly this show is supposed to be going anymore.

Patty O Furniture · 08-10-2013 12:21pm

You just never know,as Emily was told her Mother was dead by her father, as he thought it right to say it afaik, as she tried to drown Emily when she was young.

& how much did Conrad pay to keep the pastor silent?

Alfred Borden · 14-10-2013 1:16pm

Great episode with a terrific ending, i get the feeling

Patrick was behind the crash, maybe showing his evil side now

Pity Daniel and Charlotte weren't in the crash too, kill off the two of them in one go

agreed i think the show needs a big death to shake it up, be it one of them or jack, who i feel has nothing else to offer the show.

Same here, as there all too happy there, as it was almost predictable that something would happen to both the pastor & Conrad, did Emily see someone apart from Conrad

Patrick?

as he's one person who has yet to show what he's capable of!

123 LC · 22-10-2013 1:36am

I'm actually liking Jack more in this series, he's not as annoying or something.

dark crystal · 29-10-2013 11:45pm

Anyone feel like this series is just going nowhere? Seriously, nothing happened in that episode to move the story on at all.

We're now on season 3 and I have no idea what revenge Emily actually has planned for the Graysons. Grayson global is gone, they've been financially decimated, Conrad's no longer governor and Daniel and Charlotte both know what scumbags their parents are and don't seem overly bothered about it. Nolan and the Porters have gotten a much rawer deal out of Emily's scheming than the bloody Graysons at this stage!

If sending them to jail is her endgame, then I wish she'd just go ahead and do it! Enough with stringing along dopey Daniel, just end it!! END IT NOW!!!

Sorry, rant over

Mister R · 30-10-2013 7:15pm

I think the first half of this season has shown that the wheels are coming off Emily's plan, in the past everything usually went smoothly but now there are all these unpredicted interferences she wasn't expecting.

Regarding Nolan and Patrick I'm assuming Nolan found out more info than that for 20k. Seems a waste of time and money otherwise.

Patty O Furniture · 04-11-2013 3:44pm

Its getting a bit more confusing now, as Patrick was hurried off after Conrad found out from

Jack on what happened to the car crash as he's going rogue now to spoil things for Emily

Charlotte's getting boring now in getting her own revenge on Conrad & now she's getting like Victoria by introducing Sarah to split up Emily&Daniel.

Seeing as the only two friends she has are going rogue, she's finally bringing them in closer for her plan on the wedding,

to frame Victoria for shooting her

thank god that's not left til the final ep & with only 5wks to go, my guess its either Daniel or Aiden that shoots her instead as Emily will get Jack hooked up with Sarah, much to Daniel's annoyance will hook up with Margaux!

06-11-2013 2:18am

Show is getting crazier by the day. I am sticking with it solely on the basis that ive invested too much time to date and im hoping there will be a big payoff at its conclusion. With each episode though its resembling a cringeworthy Aaron Spelling soap. When i heard the same makers were involved with Betrayal i decided i wasnt going to go anywhere near it. This show has been dragged out for 3 series when in all reality it could have been concluded in 1. Americans dont do anything in half though. Super size this and super size that

Totally agree with this post, not even that excited by the show anymore but will stick it through until the end and allegiance to one or two characters.

Patty O Furniture · 06-11-2013 3:17am

If you wanna watch the 1st season, i saw that ABC studios are on Sky on Demand.

Waterloo Road, Footballers Wives, Wild at Heart all British shows that were flogged to death because they were still getting decent ratings. Hardly unusual for a TV network to do it.

I prefer S3 to S2 I think, its more in line with the S1 version of Revenge than the OTT initiative thing.

Yeah i see your point with those shows mentioned. Has Revenge's Nielson rating grown with every episode/series?

Mister R · 10-11-2013 12:57am

No but they haven't been terrible either. Also someone suggested that its rare for a US show to run for 3 seasons because they need 4 for syndication in future to make more money out of it so even if the ratings get bad they might still push for a fourth season. I don't know the ins and outs of the US TV industry but thats what I've been told.

Wikipedia :pac: Also suggests a TV show needs 88 episodes for syndication which is about 4 seasons worth.

Just on those shows you mentioned what you must remember is that there was no real long term central plot that defined each of those series. At best there was little subplots

Mister R · 10-11-2013 11:16pm

As long as they can milk a show for ratings and advertising revenue networks don't care about storylines or long term plots, its the writers jobs to keep the show going if the network thinks it can continue to make money. There is nothing artistic or high brow about TV shows like there is about say indie movies. All TV shows have to do is generate viewers and income for the channel. Hence why most network shows (ABC, FOX, CBS, NBC) get flogged to death with only a small few bowing out earlier than might be thought. Also explains why reality tv is so lucrative, no writers need to be paid so the budget is so much smaller with similar or even greater advertising revenues.

The crew at Knots Landing for example knew the network might want another one or two seasons with some budget cuts so the show was wrapped up some what earlier since the team weren't willing to make the cuts as the show had suffered massive production cuts already. That rarely happens these days, they milk shows till the bitter end now.

Alfred Borden · 13-11-2013 9:26pm

Another poor episode and even the endings arent interesting like they were, this should had been a one season and done program imo, will keep watching but wont miss it at all.

Mister R · 13-11-2013 10:16pm

As I said no way does any TV network want a one season show. It was never going to be one or two seasons. If viewing figures stayed high they would keep pushing it regardless of content. I'd imagine it'll be a 4 season show and that extra season will probably be only made for syndication reasons.

I actually liked Emily being Nolan's helper for a change. Season 2 for the most part sucked I'm happy this season just went back to the Hamptons and became more basic, it had gotten all conspiracy theory crazy in S2 when its actually just a soap opera for the 21st century a lá Knots Landing.

Alfred Borden · 18-11-2013 9:09pm

top episode, the best since the first season with great twists! 3 weeks until the next one though!

Mister R · 18-11-2013 9:17pm

Amazing episode, I literally died at the end when she walked from the shadows. LOVE IT.

How will they explain this lol

Patty O Furniture · 19-11-2013 10:25pm

Yeah it was a better episode, loved the line from Nolan, 'Dont Brag after a Shag' Unexpected to see her back

I thought she was dead?

But what was the point in that little personal thing regarding Charlotte, as it didnt come to anything :rolleyes:

Agent Coulson · 19-11-2013 10:44pm

I think they sign posted the return to be honest when the name was mentioned eariler in the episode. But a good twist.

Mister R · 19-11-2013 11:23pm

Yeah I agree mentioning the name was suggestive particularly since a SHOCK was expected this episode although must say I still thought it could have been Emily's Mother or Ashley.

It meant that Aidan got access to charlotte's laptop so he could order the murder weapon for Emily from it, somehow framing Victoria.

Patty O Furniture · 26-11-2013 2:49am

With 2 more shows from Dec 8th, it then takes a 3mth Winter Break!
& this is the schedule i saw when it comes back & moving into a new slot, what does that tell you & look at the name of the show thats taking its old timeslot.

Sunday, Mar. 9
9 p.m. - 'Resurrection (New 'Les Revenants' style "zombie" drama about people who return from the dead, seemingly unchanged since the day that they died)
10 p.m. - 'Revenge' (As you might have noticed, 'Resurrection' is inhabiting 'Revenge's usual 9 p.m. timeslot, requiring the veteran drama to make the jump to 10 p.m. following its winter break)

Mister R · 28-11-2013 6:27pm

Winter Olympics always screws up the schedules since no channel wants to compete. Same in 2010 had to wait ages for shows because of an extended winter break.

rawn · 04-12-2013 11:13pm

Hi guys, I know this is an old thread, don't wanna read through it in case I come across any spoilers

Start watching Revenge the other day and pretty much binge watched about 10 episodes in 2 days, LOVED it. The next 5 episodes have gone steadily downhill though, and I see that there's another 2 seasons after it? Is it worth my while to finish the season? Are 2 and 3 worth watching at all? At the moment it just seems tedious. Like c'mon emily stop faffing around and get on with the vengeance plz

I would definitely finish out the first season and see from there. Great finale and plenty more interesting stories to come. Not going to lie to you, thought season 2 was below par at best but this season is better again but not back at season ones level yet.

JP Liz V1 · 09-12-2013 8:51pm

Roll on next week's mid season finale, some good lines from Conrad

Alfred Borden · 09-12-2013 9:19pm

that was a top notch episode in fairness, next week should be very good!

Alfred Borden · 09-12-2013 9:22pm

123 LC · 16-12-2013 6:00pm

seriously that plan would have never worked ha :P

JP Liz V1 · 16-12-2013 8:08pm

So Daniel was the shooter :eek: I hope Emily's amnesia is fake

Alfred Borden · 16-12-2013 8:19pm

absolutely delighted with that ending to be honest, long time coming!

dark crystal · 16-12-2013 10:29pm

Not sure where they're going to go from here, tbh.

Victoria, Lydia and now Daniel all know that Emily is not who she says she is. Conrad and Charlotte will also soon presumably know.

How will Emily explain the photograph, the fake pregnancy and the general deceit, not to mention Aiden chloroforming Victoria right before Daniel shot her??!

Apparantly, the next episode teaser implies that

Emily has amnesia (or pretends to have).

How that would make any difference at this stage, I don't know.
