Revenge - new series - E4 - 7th January

[difficultpickle]

My guilty pleasure but I really enjoyed the first series

[Blondeshavemorefun]

blondes gets excited

really looking forward to seeing this :)

esp the catch up at 8pm

[CointreauVersial]

Oooh, thanks for the reminder!

I didn't even know about the recap show - what a good idea.

To be honest, I think DH is even more excited about the new series than I am. He's the big fan in this house.

[HazeltheMcWitch]

It's back already ?? I watch loads of E4, and I didn't know it was tonight? How could I have missed that?

Doubt she got on the plane either. She's like a cockroach that one - she's survive anything...

So we have another Brit joining this series - the chap who played Niall in Hollyoaks. Tell me that it's not just me with such a love of crap tv ?

[lilacrose]

Thanks for the info about catch up. Now just have to negotiate who gets to watch TV with DS1 who wants to watch Miranda. Remind me why I thought having only 1 TV in the house was a good idea?
Hope the magnificent Victoria didn't cop it last episode

[FellowshipOfFineFellows]

Love this show far too much for someone who is close to 31.
Brilliantly bonkers

[difficultpickle]

bugger, missed catch up but hopefully I'll be able to follow as it isn't as demanding as trying to keep up with Homeland

[HazeltheMcWitch]

Fellowship - There's an age limit for schlocky tv????

Bugger. And I'm older than you.

[HazeltheMcWitch]

That was the English bloke - Niall from Hollyoaks. He's the sun that Myra gave away.

And in other exciting Revenge/Hollyoaks crossover news, the chap who plays, erm - that one - her ex, is the brother of the Hollyoaks actress who played Maddie.

[HazeltheMcWitch]

sun son

Lots of madness to get us started - and the recap show is well worth it just to hear Nolan camp it up whilst recounting the plot for an hour.

[HazeltheMcWitch]

Jennifer Jason Leigh in this also? Do you think she's her mother?

[tribpot]

Yup, looks like it from the flashbacks. I heart JJL!

[TwllBach]

Nolan is much prettier this season

[HazeltheMcWitch]

I really don't get the Takeda thing. Yes, I know it's probably not really to 'get', as in it isn't realistic or logical... But who is he, apart from some kind of revenge/fighty mentor? To make it odder, Takeda is a different actor from Series 1.

[FellowshipOfFineFellows]

I knew she wasn't dead!
Did you know the actor who plays Daniel is an ex of Amy Winehouse and is friends with Kelly Brooks boyfriend?

[HazeltheMcWitch]

Yup. And him and Emily/Amanda are a couple in real life.

[sleepdodger]

Yes whatctime? I'm stick by cot with non sleeping toddler so unless 10pm can't sky+ it :-0

[FrillyMilly]

Was that takeda with Niall from hollyoaks? I thought it was meant to be someone working for takeda. They didn't cast him based on likeness to the first actor. I love this show even if it makes no sense at all. I love Nolan too, I want a billionaire best friend. Ashley needs to be killed off this season.

Who is Jennifer Jason Leigh?

[BookFairy]

I found you all!

I don't know anyone in RL who watches it but I love it - the drama, glamorous outfits, shiny hair, Emily kicking ass left right and centre

Great opener :)

[Lighthousekeeping]

I love Niall from Hollyoaks.

I'm so glad this is back. I don't know anyone else that watches it. Where has JJL been for the past twenty years?

[hattymattie]

Because I was mumsnetting at the same time I missed the critical moment which explained how come Victoria is now allied with Emily. Can somebody please explain

[whatkungfuthat]

Charlotte whispered into Emily's ear when they dragged her back to rehab. She told her where to find Victoria. Emily went to see Victoria supposedly to tell her that Charlotte was being kept in rehab (so that Conrad can control her inheritance) but she was mainly there to fit a hidden camera.

[Orenishii]

Love, love, love this show. I've been naughtily watching s2 online and dh was in the room for an episode - he asked what I was watching and I described it as a "Japanese-y revenge-y thriller" in a bid to make it sound more cool and Tarantino-esque

Nolan has some even-more-awesome meta lines this season!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

loved the recap with nolan, tho not his hair

knew she couldnt be dead tho seems an over the top extreme plan to pretend shes dead so the inheritence goes to charlotte

nasty daddy framing his daughter with drugs test, then again shes not his daughter is she

and sure fake amanda isnt preg with jacks baby, and did you see the ease she got off the bed when emily came into the room,literally bent her back in half - impossible if pregnant so crap acting

[tribpot]

Fake Amanda is having the same kind of pregnancy as Amidala in Star Wars, where she could run down steps at nine months pregnant.

Charlotte doesn't know that Emily-Amanda is her sister, does she? Does she just think she's on her side because she's best friends with Amanda-Emily?

Isn't Victoria hiding so that the Feds can use her to build the case against Conrad without him having her bumped off again?
