Why, wait a few weeks and it'll happen in the others! Weddings? Don't talk to me about weddings! And as for long-lost children/relatives/friends/parents..... soaps: ya can keep them!
Anyway, wouldn't you watch just to see Madeline Stowe and her English friend? Can't remember her name... Nicky? No. Tara? Nah that's "True Blood". Jessica? Ah you know her, the organiser...

Come on. Revenge is just a soap opera with better acting (kinda), better writing (for the most part), better dialogue (sort of), better production values (alright that's definitely true), and made for primetime rather than daytime television. For god's sake, it's even got the evil twin (the crazy stripper chick may not actually be related, but she's definitely an evil twin). Which is why I love it. Revenge is just so ludicrous and over the top that it makes me wet myself with joy.
