On tonight’s episode of Revenge, Emily confronts former friends and lifelong enemies in a search for Victoria, who managed to sneak out of the institution and show up at the doorstep of Grayson Manor after six months. No matter what Victoria Grayson may have been through, she’s still quite dangerous and with the vendetta she has against Emily, she has the motivation to use everything at her disposal in order to expose the Hamptons socialite’s true identity. Victoria might not be able to simply leak information to the press or give a press conference using only her word as bond, but she’s proven over the years to be rather resourceful; there are enough back channels and easily bought officials to do her dirty work for her, so while Emily may have gotten a taste of vengeance, she’s about to learn that revenge isn’t definite. Getting revenge against someone isn’t a cure all to one’s problems, nor does it guarantee that they won’t strike back against you and make things worse than they were before the obsession with payback began.

Elsewhere on Revenge, David confronts Victoria about her role in his framing.

Revenge airs tonight at 10:00 on ABC.

Do you think David will ever be able to forgive Victoria for the decision that put him behind bars? Could David turn out to be an ally for Victoria once the two work out their differences? Is Charlotte’s suicide attempt a genuine cry for help after an especially troubled time or a way to manipulate those around her into doing what she wants?

Sadly, I won’t be returning to #Mistresses. Here’s why: http://t.co/Xq3jTTSGfH

It’s as yet unclear how the show will deal with the loss of arguably its central character, be it through writing Savi out or recasting the character. Also to be determined is whether Milano will be open and able to appear at all during the third season and beyond, even if it’s to provide some sense of closure for her character.

Though understandable due to logistics, Milano’s exit is quite surprising considering that the show spent season two building to a third season centered around the clash between Savi and Joss over what happened with Harry. Even disregarding the issues of rhythm the show will have to deal with now that they’re down to three leads, the third season will likely have an entirely different structure, with Savi’s abrupt exit putting more weight on other storylines and leaving the show without the conduit that led to this group becoming friends. What will likely be employed now is a time jump, with Savi’s absence being exposited and likely becoming the driving force behind the season, particularly regarding Joss’s guilt and the amorphous blob that the group will turn into without her around.

The third season of Mistresses is slated to premiere next summer on ABC.

Are you surprised that Milano won’t be continuing on with Mistresses? How do you think the loss of Savi will change the dynamic of the show? Can Mistresses be Mistresses with only three leads instead of four?

Based on the Lily Koppel book of the same name and adapted for television by Stephanie Savage (Gossip Girl), The Astronaut Wives Club follows a group of wives whose husbands were at the forefront of the space revolution. While their husbands were off making international history, the women were thrust into the media spotlight, with their marriages and private lives being put under the collective microscope. The series was originally to focus on Project Mercury, but the focus has been expanded to include other pivotal missions and other wives beyond the core cast.

In addition to her role on the NBC drama, Strahovski has appeared on the likes of Dexter, 24, and Louie. She joins a cast that includes Joanna Garcia Swisher (Once Upon a Time), Odette Annable (House), Dominique McElligott (Hell on Wheels), Desmond Harrington (Dexter), and Bret Harrison (V).

Originally touted for a summer 2014 premiere, The Astronaut Wives Club will premiere sometime this midseason on ABC. A concrete premiere date should be announced either later this year or early next.

Will you be watching The Astronaut Wives Club? Do you think the show will be able to find an audience on broadcast, given ABC’s struggles with period pieces? Who else would you like to see join the cast?

This is the second consecutive year that a renewal for Mistresses has come down to the wire, as ABC executives had until today to make a decision on whether to continue with the K.J. Steinberg-produced adaptation of the 2008 BBC series. Though the show averaged a shade under what it did during season one, the show produced the most buzz of any ABC summer original this year and still drew around 3.7 million total viewers, making for a fairly compatible lead-out for The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise.

Starring Alyssa Milano (Charmed), Yunjin Kim (Lost), Rochelle Aytes (Madea’s Family Reunion), and Jes Macallan (The Mentor), Mistresses follows a group of friends as they deal with personal and professional difficulties. Season two of the series, the only ABC original scripted series on the network’s summer lineup, focused on Joss (Macallan) attempting to become an event planner; Savi (Milano) dealing with the emotional difficulties that resulted from a brutal car crash; April (Aytes) beginning a relationship with a sexy stranger; and Karen (Yunjin Kim) learning how to let go of the pain she’s experienced in her past relationships.

The series also stars Jason George (Hit the Floor) and Brett Tucker (Neighbors).

Will you be watching the third season of Mistresses? Are you surprised that the show made it back for a third season? Do you think ABC should continue airing Mistresses along with The Bachelor universe or would it have a better shot at success on another night/in another time slot?

“Driven” was a fast paced episode shrouded with mystery and bad ass Kate emerged once again, reminding all of us that Kate will do whatever’s necessary to get answers especially when it involves someone she loves. She almost broke a guy’s finger!
All the awards to Stana. I got serious chills when she delivered one of her many amazing lines. “After that there’s nine more.”

Not only did Stana get me with that line, she got me at the beginning of the episode when Kate ran towards Castle’s car which was engulfed in flames. I was in tears seeing Kate so hopeless in that moment. It was so painful to watch.

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one who’s head was spinning the entire episode. The episode is over and I still don’t know what to believe. All I know is that we’re headed towards some new mythology and I couldn’t be more excited. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Kate and her journey of solving her mothers murder but it was time for a new chapter in this tale. I have no idea where the writers are going with this but I trust this Castle team fully!

I’m the worst at transitioning so let’s talk about what the hell happened to Castle?
I seriously have no idea. I think I was in the same boat as Kate. At first I thought there was no way Castle planned his disappearance. Why would he do that to Kate, Alexis, and Martha? But as the episode progressed and the insurmountable evidence was emerging I thought maybe Castle did it to get away from some people? Then I thought I was being ridiculous. I’ll admit it did look pretty bad when video footage emerged showing Castle dropping off all that cash. Oh! About that cash. How awesome was it that Cardano made an appearance? We haven’t seen him since S5EP4 Murder He Wrote. I love when Castle brings back old characters.

Anyways, I was so happy when Kate realized how ridiculous she sounded while talking to Alexis and Martha. I didn’t blame her though with her misgivings. I was feeling the same way. I just couldn’t believe Castle was gone for 2 months. I nearly freaked out when I saw the newspaper clipping of “2 months, no answers.” Of course they had to have a shot of Castle’s empty chair at the precinct. It had me in tears! Then I was laughing when Kate told Castle she almost shot the night janitor because he almost moved Castle’s chair. This is what this show does to me. One minute I’m crying, one minute I’m laughing and the rest of the time I’m holding my breath.

I cannot wait to see where the Castle team takes us next. Who the heck is the guy who was impersonating Henry Jenkins? What did he have to do with Castle’s disappearance? So many questions and the season just started! I’m so excited! Is it next Monday yet?

On the fourth season premiere of Revenge, Victoria sneaks and uses the phone in hopes of getting a sympathetic ear on the line. The workers at the facility might not believe her sanity, but surely someone at home will check her out of the hospital after hearing about her horrible experience thus far. Unfortunately for Victoria, Emily is the one who picks up the phone and ends up taunting her with the fact that she bought Grayson manor; Victoria might be angry about Pascal and about the deception that Emily has cast over her family, but those feelings can only grow more bitter the more that she hears Emily poking at her. Victoria Grayson is dangerously smart to begin with and at this point, she doesn’t need the motivation in order to want revenge on Emily, but for some reason, Emily has decided to rev up the greatest threat against her plan.

Elsewhere on Revenge, David prepares his next move after dispatching Conrad, while Emily plans her most surprising party yet.

The fourth season of Revenge premieres Sunday, September 28th at 10:00 on ABC. You can check out photos from the season premiere here.

How long do you think it’ll be before Victoria escapes the mental facility and comes after Emily? Should Emily be taunting Victoria when she knows that there’s a good chance the Grayson matriarch will make it out of the facility? What will David’s next move be now that he’s stabbed Conrad and left him for dead?

On the fourth season premiere of Revenge, Victoria finds herself trapped in a mental institution with a destroyed reputation. Anything she says about Emily Thorne being a whole other person and coming to the Hamptons in order to exact revenge for David’s murder will be treated as the ramblings of a mentally touched woman who finally succumbed to the familial pressure weighing on her. Emily seemingly found a way to keep Victoria from coming after her by trapping her in the hospital and ruining any chance of having her identity exposed, with the institutionalization serving as the death blow to the air of untouchability that surrounds the Graysons and Victoria in particular. However, Victoria is still alive, breathing, and mentally sane, so now that she has the information she needs about Emily’s real reason for coming to the Hamptons, she’s going to fight like hell to get out of the hospital and give herself a chance to square off with the real Amanda Clarke. But does Emily has a plan of action just in case Victoria makes it back from her sojourn into the mental health system?

Elsewhere on Revenge, David plans his next move after striking against Conrad, while Emily plans to host her most surprising party ever.

The fourth season of Revenge is slated to premiere Sunday, September 28th at 10:00 on ABC. You can check out the season’s official key art here.

Will you be watching Revenge this season? How do you think Victoria will be able to use her seemingly desolate situation to her advantage? Should Emily really be hosting a party at a time when she needs to be on the attack?

When we last left Revenge, Emily had gotten Victoria committed to a mental institution to keep the secret of her identity under wraps. Had Victoria been able to reach someone with the revelation that Hamptons socialite Emily Thorne isn’t who she claims to be, she could have destroyed Emily and stopped the plan for vengeance dead in its tracks. However, Emily got to her before anything like that could happen and now Victoria’s stint in the mental institution will prevent people from taking claims like this, which were already outlandish, even remotely seriously.

Emily can’t afford to rest on her laurels, though, not when Victoria will eventually get out of the institution and not when she still has quite a bit to do in order to exact revenge on the Graysons. She can’t let her guard down because once Victoria gets out of the hospital, she’s going to do everything in her power and exhaust her considerable resources looking to get Emily back for the hell that she’s been put through.

Set to appear on Revenge this season are Yeardley Smith (The Simpsons) as a fellow patient at the institution Victoria’s stuck in; Nestor Serrano (90210) as Edward, a commanding and perceptive police chief who finds himself in Victoria’s corner; Brian Hallisay (The Client List) as easygoing local cop Ben; and Elena Satine (Magic City) as Louise, the slightly unhinged black sheep of a prominent Southern family. Additionally, James Tupper and Karinne Vanasse have been promoted to series regulars after recurring for three seasons and one season, respectively.

The fourth season of Revenge is set to premiere Sunday, September 28th at 10:00 on ABC.

Will you be watching the fourth season of Revenge? Can Victoria get people to believe her side of the story now that she’s had a stint in the mental institution? How do you think Victoria should exact her own vengeance upon Emily once she gets released?
