Emily Thorne sterile

Why didn't she froze some of her eggs? She had the money and she knew it would take some years to get revenge, I don't get why she didn't have some frozen ova before starting.

Last Season Wedding (SPOILER)

I just rewatched the show, and the thing that still bothers me the most is that Amanda and Jack got married AFTER David Clarke died. Why not at least give him a proper send-off, especially after everything he went through?

Good show but it makes me mad that Emily(Amanda) is so incompetent

These people killed her dad and instead of just bankrupting them and leaking all their secrets she spends 2+ years plotting, getting in petty squabbles, getting sidetracked etc.

like just poison them at family dinner, tell them who you are while they die slowly and the shows over in a season, but instead she ends up messing up essentially every plan she’s made.

She throws a laptop full of incriminating videos in the water, gets shot and gets amnesia. I haven’t seen further yet but at this point I just want her to get to it. I mean, as much as she wants revenge, she’s ended up torturing her own friends more than the graysons 😂 her best friend is dead, jacks little brother is dead, the priest who actually felt bad about what he did and turned his life around is dead, David Clarkes only friend from the company is dead. She bankrupts the Graysons and then gives their money back. Nolan has been shut off from the world and been her lackey for years while also losing his company and Padma. Meanwhile the graysons have their money back and sure they’ve gone through some shit but that was gonna happen without her too because they’re such toxic people.

For someone so smart and calculated she sure calculates everything incorrectly all the time.

I’m betting $1000 dollars that it’s only a matter of time before Aiden’s dead too cause I’m sure the point of the show is that Emily and jack end up together because ‘true love’ bla bla.

The show is really good with great actors and interesting plot, good character development etc but at this point her incompetence is just so annoying.

Am I the only one who feels this way? 😂😂

Victoria is the best character 💞

Honestly she was the best character and went through the most trauma. Emily should have just came clean from jump. comment and let’s debate on this

Margaux

I’m doing a rewatch and I’m on season 4. Is there anyone else who cannot stand Margaux?! I’ve disliked her character since she came around, but in season 4 she is completely unlikable! Ugh 😣

Nothing Compares

The way I cannot find anything that gives me the same feeling that Revenge gives me. All the actors are perfect in their roles but it truly is Emily VanCamp that makes the show what it is. No matter what decisions her character makes dumb or smart, you cannot help but root for her every time. The revenge plot had its ups and downs, but the characters kept you wanting more. The wittiness of the Emily and Nolan duo is to die for and you truly believe they become family to each other

Is it over the top at times? Yes. But that is what makes it so good, it does not take itself too seriously, they blend dark realities with dark fantasy so well. The way Amanda created her alias of Emily was masterful, and I wish I had a book similar to this to bite into. I will always love the mysterious newcomer trope, especially when it is an outsider sneaking into the lives of the upper crust.

I wish some writing choices had been different, that some of those that died hadn't. However, in the end I still think this show has some of the best executed revelation scenes of all time. The highs truly high and I cannot find anything like it.

Emily Vancamp

Can we just talk what an amazing she is? She brings something special to every role she plays. She also seems like such an authentic human. I love watching anything she’s in!

Made this collage for my sister

She’s on season 1 and I’m on season 2 (I more or less forced her to start watching). Can you tell who I hate?? I’m only on season 2 ep 12 and I don’t follow this subreddit yet; I don’t want any spoilers!

The doors

I’m only halfway through season 3 but I have noticed this since season 1 and it is consistently bothering me. Why does Emily CONSTANTLY leave her doors open at her house, especially when she’s having conversations about her plans or has her revenge box out going through it.

Did this character’s death really bother anyone else?

SPOILER OF CHARACTER DEATH

So I will say I’m not the biggest Aiden fan, but his death was like really really brutal. First the poisoning, like that’s just sad and the pillow smothering is like yikes he didn’t have a chance. But propping up his body? Like wtf… that’s disgusting. You knew by looking at him that he looked cold and his eyes were grey like who is sick enough to do that. Emily never killed someone then propped their body up in their loved one’s house. Absolutely terrible, I had to like look away when they showed his body, I can’t believe they just put it on television like that😂 idk why it just really left me feeling uneasy like wtf? anyone else triggered/not expecting that?

Rewatching & does anyone feel

Does anyone hate Amanda Clarke (AKA the original Emily Thorne) for being such an immature, needy, selfish, psychotic person!! She knew how the REAL Amanda felt about Jack… Although her presence in the show didn’t need to be expanded after she left the first time - the coming back pregnant was such a stab in the back!!

If it just me?

Is it just me, or does anybody else like reeeeally dislike Daniel in season 3? It’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen it and I’m rewatching currently. Can’t remember what happens, and I’m feeling allllll the feels 😅 I hope Daniel suffers for what he did and says to Emily 🤬 like yeah she lied n shizz, but dude….. now you definitely deserve what she dishes out 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyone else? Is it just my pregnancy rage hormones? 😅

Emily Thorne and Beth Dutton

I’m rewatching revenge and keep seeing clips of Yellowstone everywhere and every time I see Beth she reminds me of Emily. In a lot of ways they seem to be the same character different font. Smart Blond heiresses who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty both end up with their first love and can’t have children due to traumatic circumstances. I think Yellowstone will be my next watch after this rewatch. Just wondering if anyone has seen both shows agrees or disagrees.

Tyler’s Voice is so Familiar

Tyler's voice is so familiar, but I've looked up the actors other acting projects and none of them ring a bell. Does anyone know of another actor that his voice sounds like?

First time watcher

I’m watching the last season and I’m wondering wtf Margaux’s problem is? I get that she is upset and grieving, but first of all she knows who Victoria is and that she should be taken with a grain of salt. Second of all, the situation they were in had absolutely NOTHING to do with Emily’s revenge plot and everything to do with what David had to deal with from his past(that was the Graysons fault). It wouldn’t have mattered if Amanda Clarke was just Amanda Clarke living in the Hamptons, that guy would have come after David no matter what, not to mention Victoria sent Kate there. Lastly, Daniel almost murdered Emily. He sterilized her. She did actually love him once until he started turning into his father. Margaux needs to get over herself. I can’t stand her anymore. I used to think she was strong and clear headed. Now I think she’s rotten.

S4 Victoria

I’m in my first rewatch in AGES!

Victoria for the most part I’ve always thought was a POS, but my god! this tops the cake…

She has taken ZERO responsibility for Daniel - not that this is exactly new for her, when really she was the one who sent Kate after her - and Daniel truly was in the wrong place at the wrong time… but ffs of all the things she did this BETTER come out before the end of this. I don’t remember if it does though.

First time watching

I’m on the 4th season and Daniel just got shot and I am ugly crying over it and I don’t know why. I really hated him last season. I hated him so much. But then I caught a glimpse of the old Daniel. These two kids were raised by such hideous parents. It’s no wonder that they are so messed up. I loath Victoria and I even felt bad for her, sorta. I hope this show’s ending is satisfying. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions and some really excellent character development. Nolan will always be my favorite character though.

Peeping Ashley

That girl is the queen of eavesdropping as well as lurking around people's houses and watching through the windows (or open doors with windblown curtains partially blocking her view). One of my least favorite characters.

Emily's foolish choices in regards to Charlotte

I want to first clarify that I love Emily, she is honestly one of my favorite characters. But one of the things I love about her is how complicated and flawed she is, it makes her dynamic and interesting to watch. One of the things I often take away about Emily is that her circumstances have isolated her so much that his has detached her from normal levels of empathy. And while in the end she achieved her goal when she kidnapped Charlotte, it astounds me even still just how she chose the timing she did for revealing the truth about herself to Charlotte.

Charlotte has been through a lot! She lost Amanda, Declan, her unborn child, and even though things were so bad between them in the end she lost Conrad who consistently before was supportive of her (in some twisted way), and now she's barely scraping by because of her addiction and loss of wealth. And then there's the kidnapping...that would be traumatizing for anyone. It just seems to me that when she decides to jump off a rooftop and is thankfully saved, that does not seem like the day Emily should be revealing the truth about who she really is. To make matters worse, the way she presents this information to Charlotte seems so out of touch. This is a conversation that requires more depth of emotion, more connection. But Emily seems to think that smiling while relaying the basic truth of their blood relation to each other is enough to heal the wounds.

I always tense up in this scene upon rewatching because it's so awkward and painful. I can completely sympathize with Charlotte after everything she's been through. I wish we had gotten a little more time for their relationship to develop. I think when Charlotte knocks out Emily and catches the Stowaway on fire is reminiscent of how Emily was a bit of a pyromaniac in her youth. I never really hated Charlotte for what she did, I guess simply because Emily recovered and didn't begrudge her at all. It's an interesting dynamic because there is a shared ruthlessness between them, and we see that David is also capable of some shocking choices.

Anyway, just wanted to say this.

Margaux's revenge

At first i didn't really understand the hate towards Margaux, but know that i finished i get it and i agree.

Even after she found out Emily didn't shoot Daniel, she still wanted revenge and supported Victoria without knowing the truth. She started a Vendetta against Emily and at first i thought she was actually good, until Lyman Ellis who was the first person who died cause of her.

Just in some days of her trying to avenge Emily she was rensposible for 2 deaths (Lyman Ellis, Ben Hunter) (i feel like was one more that i don't rembember, but i am not sure), and so much harm to both Jack and Emily.

She continued say how terrible person Emily is, but at least she never crossed the line like that, Margaux literally hired an assassin to kill Amanda.

Emily wanted to avenge the people who wrogned her father by destroying their lifes and mostly was their careers, but just cause they did bad things that got out, they deserved it.

She wanted to get revenge for Daniel at first but by trying to hurt Emily it was like the bullet Daniel took for Emily was for nothing, since he wanted to protect her from dying even with his own life.

And in last episodes of season 4 victoria says to Margaux that they are alike and thats something Daniel would litterally hate it since he hated Victoria. If he was alive, i feel he would've been on Amanda's side.

In the elevetor scene was obvious he still had feeling for her even if she lied about everything and used him. The little things he would say to her like "we could've worked" or "you're beautiful tonight" at the bar, he tried to have a connection with her, especially cause he finally knew the truth and why she did what she did.
