Grimm recently completed a near year long arc in which one character couldn't remember another character. Revenge just completed two seasons in which a character who should've known everything from the beginning didn't. Instead, Jack Porter's gone from horrible plot to horrible plot while Emily goes about her revengin' despite the havoc she's unintentionally causing. Tonight's two hour season finale had Jack reach his breaking point, and Emily desperately trying anything to prevent him from ruining his life. Jack learns Emily's actual identity in the final scene of the episode just as he's ...

Want a plot twist in a Revenge review, readers? I completely forgot about carrion. There's a real surprise. Your blogger forgot the specifics of the biggest plot device of the second season. I immediately reminded myself of the specifics of Carrion, though the specifics won't matter until next week. Indeed, the specifics of carrion aren't known. Nolan possibly built the software. The Initiative seems to be in control and using it because Manhattan's lights go out. Some nonsense is coming.

"Engagement" has the same old annoying nonsense as always; but since the finale's ahead, there are mor...

"A person's identity is hard to discern," narrates Emily Thorne in the beginning of the episode. Indeed, the identities for almost every character in the series is not their own. Emily's not who she says she is; the Graysons have a vault of secrets. The search for the falcon's identity underlines the objective of the episode. "Identity" exposes people or further corrodes one's image, one's perception of someone else, in some way or another. Jack and Declan are the only genuine characters on the show. Of course, their respective behaviors are being shaped/influenced by people who are playing...

Revenge had Halloween on Easter, which worked as well a Community's Thanksgiving episode that aired in February. For an episode about masks and masquerading, the Halloween setting works. Of course, Revenge stages a party every week, so the necessity of the Halloween setting is debatable. Anyway, things are concealed and revealed in "Masquerade." Emily's opening narration about masks and what they mean is on-the-nose as every Emily narration is. It is among the worst narrations in Revenge's history. Revenge doesn't need narration to clarify already clear themes. I mean, the characters walk a...

ABC's promo departments love to tease the last five minutes of their dramas. I remember ABC would promote the hell out of the last five minutes of is the best series of all-time, but those heavily promoted final five minutes would hardly be life-changing or series-defining (well, except for the ending when Naomi lands on the Island, which indeed changed the course of the series forever). On Once Upon A Time, Henry would eat bad strudel in the last five minutes, and I'd want to forget I ever watched the show in the first place. ABC hasn't promoted the last five minutes of Revenge until last...

As Daniel Grayson reacted badly to Conrad's honesty about the true purpose of the Amanda Clarke Foundation, I imagined different scenes in which Daniel's surprised by things that shouldn't surprise him. Every episode seems to include a scene in which Victoria and Conrad cause their son dismay because he hasn't learned their deceitful scumbags without a conscience. The latest instance involves their gesture of kindness towards Jack and the memory of his deceased wife and the tough life she had. Conrad and Victoria don't care about improving the lives of children who need improvement. They're...

ABC pushed the episode with these words: "Emily is back. No more distractions." The network must've heard the complaints about the second season and decided to push the show like it is season one again; however, Revenge needs to get out of a few storylines before it ceases being a convoluted mess. Revenge won't really reset until the third season. Until then, the writers have to wriggle free of The Initiative, and, uh, yeah, just The Initiative.

Fake Amanda's death, at least, adds much needed urgency and drama into the show. TV writers usually share a similar modus operandi when killing of...

Revenge showed the sailboat Amanda at the bottom of the ocean way back in its September season premiere. The series did this in season one and the payoff in February was worth the wait. I insulted the show way more than I complimented it during season one, but the payoff to the shooting on the beach during the Fire and Ice party was impressive. It felt planned whereas every story in season two feels unplanned. Conrad's going to run for governor? Of course he is. I may need to stop writing about the show when that storyline begins. The mystery about the sunken boat was the only plot thread I...

Thirteen episodes in and Revenge's second season continues to feel directionless. There's a semblance of an arc with The Initiative, but, I don't know, friends and well-wishers. What's the point of Revenge's second season?

The Porters celebrate a rare victory in "Union." Jack marries the girl of his dreams, though the actual girl of his dreams is to Fake Amanda's right and struggling not to cry. Conrad gives up the bar after Fake Amanda threatens him with incriminating video footage. Jack's elated. His life is going just right. Naturally, the taller, angrier Ryan brother tagged along on bo...

Revenge star Emily VanCamp talks about her relationships, cooking and aging in the new issue of Women's Health magazine.

did a sexy shoot for GQ magazine back in October, but Emily she likes it best when she doesn't have to be all dressed up.

"I'm at my most confident when I'm in nature and I don't have to dress up. When I take off my makeup, that's my boyfriend's (Revenge co-star Josh Bowman) favorite," she says. "And that, to me, is a symbol of a great guy - someone who doesn't care about all that stuff.

"It's more about accepting each other as separate people. That's the fundamental t...

Revenge is getting even better. In tonight's episode, "Revelations," Michael Trucco officially begins his guest-starring role, after a brief appearance earlier this season.

Trucco's character is Nate Ryan, the brother of recurring character Kenny Ryan (JR Bourne, pictured above right with Trucco). Nate is described as "street-smart, charismatic and slightly menacing." It's unknown exactly how long he'll appear on the ABC series, but it's expected to be a significant story arc.

The Revenge role is Trucco's second major guest stint this year. He previously booked a return to How I Met You...

Revenge star Emily VanCamp heats up the November issue of GQ Magazine, showing off her sexy legs and a bit of cleavage in a black lace bra uner an open red sweater.

The star, who plays Emily Thorne on the hit show, talks about what she loves about her character and how she's a tomboy at heart.

"I always feel like I'm playing a character when I'm in a beautiful dress, with my hair coiffed," she says; "I like getting down and dirty. It's really fun. There's nothing better than setting an a--hole's house on fire. It's those moments when I think 'I love my job!'"

When you get to kiss one of the hottest studs on TV (cough cough Josh Bowman aka "Daniel Grayson"), you definitely have to make sure your pout is in perfect pecking condition. So, it is no surprise "Revenge" actress Ashley Madekwe was spotted applying her eos Pomegranate Raspberry Lip Balm while on a coffee break with a friend in Los Angeles.

eos Smooth Sphere Lip Balm's newest flavor is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free and is even packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil to keep your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.

The castmembers of TV hit Revenge have teamed up to pose in a daring photoshoot with controversial Hollywood snapper Tyler Shields.

The young stars posed with dangerous weapons and tangled together in a series of sexy positions for the shoot, taken last month to mark the start of the second series in the U.S.

Leading lady Emily VanCamp donned a glamorous gown and, in one sinister shot, can be seen dramatically thrusting a sword into the air.

Her co-star Christa B. Allen also showed off her sexy side - in one photo, the brunette has her hair pulled back as a gun is pointed at her face, an...

The first season of "Revenge" ended with a bang after Victoria Grayson seemingly died in a plane crash and her daughter Charlotte appeared to overdose after popping too many pills.

Daniel and Emily broke off their engagement, and although Emily hoped to reunite with her true love, Jack, his former lover Amanda came back and revealed she was pregnant with his child.

And perhaps in one of the most shocking reveals, viewers found out that Emily's mother was still alive.

So what happens in the Hamptons when the Graysons and Emily return for season two on Sept. 30 on ABC? Check out some spoil...

You know the feeling. Everyone at the office talks about how great (insert TV show here) was, and you don't watch it. By the time you figure out how good the show is, it's too late to catch up.

Well, there's still time to watch some of last season's popular shows on DVD, Netflix, on demand or online, particularly if they're only half-hour comedies or 10-episode seasons.

First, check out AMC's "The Walking Dead." As the show progresses, more people are tuning in. About 9 million viewers tuned in to see the second season finale in March - 50 percent more than those who watched the first sea...

Season finales are essentially the Hollywood version of final exams. They have to shock and awe and entice viewers into returning after four arduous months of dead air. From births and deaths to break-ups and OMG-worthy shockers, I’m grading 10 season finales. The SPOILER ALERT is implied.

Reckoning, Revenge’s thrilling season ender saw Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) not only confront her father’s killer in a satisfying and strangely sweet final fight, but surrender to her feelings for ruggedly handsome bartender, Jack. It wouldn’t be “Revenge” without infuriating twists and double-c...

Shonda Rhimes’ newest creation, ABC’s political thriller “Scandal” (based on the real life of President George H.W. Bush’s aid, Judy Smith) wants you to believe that Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), a corporate fixer with some surprising and sexy ties to the President, is a superhero with a chic trench coat and stilettos instead of a mask and a cape. She can intimidate gun-wielding Ukranian kidnappers with a single monologue, identify liars with her fine-tuned internal polygraph and is armed with a set of fabulously lethal cheekbones. To gain entrance to her high-end batcave, you must be a...

Can "Revenge" star Josh Bowman get any sexier? Women's Health Magazine was lucky enough to sit one on one with the star to chat about one hot topic: love. Starpulse scored a peek into the interview as Josh opens up in the April issue about his favorite sleeping attire, the secret to a successful relationship, and the best love advice he's ever received. Check it out!

When Asked…

When you meet a woman, what's the first thing you notice about her?
“I'm a big eye man, because you can look into her eyes and see part of her personality.”

What's the key to a successful relationship?
“For sure,...

Fans of hit show Revenge will have the chance to star in the current season's finale as part of a new charity auction.

The top bidder at the upcoming Charity Buzz sale will be shown around the set in California next month and given a selection of memorabilia, including a signed script.

They'll also be given a walk-on role opportunity to appear in the last episode of the current series, which stars Emily VanCamp.

Proceeds from the auction will be handed to the local Melrose Elementary School.

I once had dreams of becoming an Emmy-Winning actress, but thanks to a traumatizing audition for a middle school drama club and being roughly a few inches shy of Snooki-esque shortness, those dreams never panned out. I’m happy to leave the acting to the professionals, and admire their work as a fan and critic. For this television-aholic, there’s nothing better than beholding a great actor who steals every frame of their scenes.

Here is a list of my favorite scene-stealers:

Neil Patrick Harris, “How I Met Your Mother”

Neil Patrick Harris’ portrayal of Barney Stinson, the suit-lovi...

Madeleine Stowe attended the Costume Designers Guild Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel yesterday looking slim and trim in a black lace gown. We've said it before and we'll say it again - she looks incredible at 53!

The actress stars in the popular ABC series "Revenge" as Victoria Grayson

She recently told USA Today, "I'm having a really good time with it. Not to compare this with Shakespeare, but there's a Lady Macbeth kind of quality to her."

Actress Emily Vancamp appears to have moved on from the breakdown of her relationship with actor Joseph Morgan - she's been snapped cuddling up to Revenge co-star Josh Bowman.

VanCamp began dating Vampire Diaries hunk Morgan last year, but they parted ways after struggling to maintain the romance while working on opposite sides of the U.S.

She recently told Canada's Flare magazine about her ideal man, declaring, "It's all about making me laugh. I can be quite serious sometimes, so laughing is key. I think it's important to be with a guy who has a strong sense of integrity. And humility....

ABC's Shark Tank opens tonight at 8 PM ET/PT - and before you step in, get the inside dish plus meet the newest Shark, Lori Greiner!

Now in its third season, Shark Tank brings hopeful entrepreneurs face-to-face with a panel of potential investors, or "sharks," that could make their business aspirations a reality...if they can be convinced. Sometimes, it's a chance for us to watch someone's dream come true. Other times, it's painful to see them crash and burn.

I recently visited the set of Shark Tank to check the waters out for myself, and here are a few things you might not know.

ABC's Revenge is heating up Wednesday nights with mystery and scandal - and as Charlotte Grayson, actress Christa B. Allen is right in the middle of the intrigue.

I recently sat down with Christa to talk about where Charlotte may be headed next, and what it's like to be a part of a series where anything can happen.

Think fast: give me the first reason off the top of your head why people should tune into Revenge.

Hot guys. (laughing) It's true.

Without giving away too many spoilers, what can we expect for Charlotte coming up?

As you've seen, Victoria hasn't treated her so nicely ...

Thanksgiving is a few short weeks away, and before you slice into those turkeys, let’s take a look back at the new TV shows that are thriving and those that don’t have a Thanksgiving prayer. We’ll break it down by category.

Modest Hits

(We would have had a full-on “Hits” category, but there are certainly no runaways so far.) FOX’s ‘New Girl’ can be deemed a first-season success. The Zooey Deschanel comedy was the first fall series to earn a full season pickup, and for good reason: Its ratings are better than lead-in ‘Glee’ and it’s frequently tops on Tuesdays in 18-49. To date it’s ave...
