Yes, the last good one they did was with Diane and Victor. And I seem to recall Victor and Nikki's, under Hack Bitch from Hell LML, took forever and then, suddenly, was resolved within two episodes.

BTW, random thought, but I've been wondering if ABC will be tempted to move REVENGE to Sundays once HOUSEWIVES is over. It seems like a good spot for soaps but I don't know if they want to move a show that actually found its audience and not have something for Wednesday night, which they have been struggling with.

It works really well where it is because of the lead ins, it all works well together. the 8pm has more family comedies, the 9pm is a bit more adult comedy, 9:30 is very adult comedy, and revenge is light enough to not scare off comedy fans or males.

I am so dense--I just remember where the actor who played Declan first annoyed me--he was Starr's first crush (Travis?) when she ran away on One Life to Live lol. And he seemed like he was trying to act like a grown up James Dean (poorly) even back then.

Besides which, it's on a night where it works well as counter programming. It's true that ABC on Sundays has far more soapy shows than the other stations as well, but I think the competition is stronger for some similar viewers (and depending if Smash can live up to its excellent pilot--and that'll be very hard I admit--they might have more...) And as YRBB said, ABC has had a tough time with Wednesday dramas--I think it would be foolish to move Revenge, especially after just one season.

OMG Victoria saying David raped her. This bitch deserves everything she has coming to her.

Hope fake Amanda stays gone now. She was annoying.

They should keep Revenge where it is at. Grey's use to be on Sunday nights back in the day but did fine on its own when they moved it Thursdays. I don't see why ABC's Wednesday night line-up wouldn't work, I mean for a good twenty years(1984-2004) NBC's Thursday night line-up of comedies and then a heavy drama worked quite well.

I absolutely love the high stakes drama of the show. I've gone back and re-watched every episode now as the plot reaches its mid-season climax(going back to the shooting in the pilot). I loved how the divorce lawyer Victoria hired was also in Emily/Amanda's plot.

I'm glad Emily at least saw SOME of the light to all she was destroying in the process. The one thing I'm not sure I buy is that Amanda (Fake Amanda) so easily and quickly believed her and agreeably left town

Victoria's lie that David raped her was epic. It provided a great reason for Emily to return to her revenge and might be useful for the divorce fight.

Oh, Daniel... the guy's hot but he's not a great actor. Bless him.

The proposal scene was very iconic; I loved it.

And Conrad calling Victoria a "pathetic, washed up bitch" (or something like that) was hilarious.

I think it's too easy and unfair to criticize Daniel's acting (well the actor's I mean...) It's perhaps the most thankless role on the show, I don't honestly know how anyone could play it better...

I like the show but it seems like they kind of rush resolve some of the aspects of the show without any long-term fall out (i.e. the harvard hustler, fake Amanda leaving, and Lydia being spirited off). While I like the revenge aspect, I certainly think that the other plotlines need to be fleshed out so that the concept of the show is carried out long-term...

Actually, Queen Victoria hadn't said that David raped her. Daniel came to his own conclusions and decided that Charlotte was the product of rape. Though QV hadn't corrected him, there's a significant difference between the assumption of rape and someone flat-out saying that they were raped.

I'd say the difference is only onw of semantics. According to the silence implies consent. "Qui tacet consenti"

Since she did not, in fact, state that David raped her, the idea that she said that he did is incorrect.
