Revenge

[shred]

The only reason I can think of for Tyler dating Ashely is so that people - especially Daniel - won't know his gay.

Nico, yeah it was Nolan who mention that she might be falling for Daniel. I don't see it though. Maybe later on. Though I don't understand why her purpose is by getting married to Daniel. If she wanted to take the Greyson's down she can do that without Daniel.

Btw you guys don't need to put stuff in spoiler tags. I read them anyway and it's only us watching this show.

Mod post not pertaining to show - Yes you do. If the episode hasn't aired in Australia, New Zealand, England and America the posts go in spoiler tags regardless of who is watching. Someone else may come to it later because it hasn't aired where they live yet. Also need what episode the post is about in the post. However once the episode has aired everywhere it doesn't need to be in spoiler tags. So

This is still pertaining to last week's episode (I'm not sure what number that is):

SPOILER: Click to show

I don't see why Tyler would tell Nolan, someone he doesn't even know, that he's gay and not Daniel, who's supposed to be his best friend. If he wants to keep it a secret he wouldn't want anyone to know, I would think, and if he just wants to hide feelings for Daniel there are other ways to do that and still tell Daniel. So, I'm not exactly sure what's going on there. It's clear he's playing all the Greysons and Ashley for whatever reason, but maybe he's playing Nolan as well.

And yeah, Nico, I think you're right that Emily's intentions aren't to get revenge on Daniel himself but to use him to move closer to his parents. However, that still makes me wonder why she agrees to marry him. I'm not sure an engagement is really necessary given everything's been able to do to get revenge so far. Maybe she does truly fall for him by the time that happens, but I just don't see it yet.

Ah but Tyler didn't tell Nolan. Nolan found out.

What surprised me the most is Nolan sleeping with Tyler! Didn't see that one coming!

I'm glad Frank is dead (or is he?). I never liked him.

Irene:

SPOILER: Click to show

Oh, yeah, sorry, forgot that. Apparently I need to pay more attention! Anyway, Tyler did at least admit that Nolan was right, which means he's not too worried about people finding out. Still, you're right. It is a bit different when someone finds out instead of you telling them.

I can't say I'm too surprised that Nolan slept with him. Once the scene started I figured that's what would happen, but I didn't see it coming before the scene was actually happening. It will be interesting to see if anything comes from that.

I don't really like Frank, either. I think he's dead, but I guess we'll find out for sure in the next episode. His character isn't patient enough to not try contacting Victoria for a whole episode!

From the looks of things, it did look like Frank was dead but you can never know with this show. I thought Lydia will die after that fall but look at her now! She's looks too good for someone who just fell on top of a car.

One thing that worries me about Frank is where his body was dumped. Isn't that a little too close to the road? I'm pretty sure someone will find him. That could explain the cops coming to Emily's house in the next episode.

Shame we have to wait 2 weeks for new eps! Argh!

[Nico]

2 weeks to long

SPOILER: Click to show

I was sure Lydia would be dead, the first real casualty in the show but instead it is looking like Daniel will be the first real casualty.

[Deleted]

Well, at least it gives me two weeks to remember all the details. Clearly I've been paying attention...forgetting people's names, what order things happened in, who told what to whom...

SPOILER: Click to show

As soon as they showed Lydia in the hospital bed in a coma I figured she'd be making a comeback. But I sure didn't expect to see her in the hospital! I suspect the police show up because of Frank's murder. However, I guess if he did manage to survive being bludgeoned with a pipe or whatever it was that she used they could be showing up because of his assault, especially now that he knows the truth. It's unlikely that he would keep that information to himself.

I think I'm going to check out the pilot again during this break, especially the engagement party scenes.

[Nico]

Haha. The pilot looks completely different now that we know the characters, backgrounds etc; it's weird. First time around I thought "this is interesting" 2nd time around I was watching for tell tale signs of being bad lol

Episode 8

SPOILER: Click to show

Hmm...it was a very interesting episode, I thought. Amanda will certainly be a character Emily will need to watch. The scene toward the end with Tyler and Ashley was very enlightening. I had no idea that Ashley felt that way about Emily. I don't know that Ashley and Tyler are in on Ty's schemes together, but I think she knows more about him than we may have originally thought and clearly supports some of his views. Makes me wonder if Ashley was ever really a friend of Emily's.

Lydia's memory and the investigation into Frank's death will need to be watched very carefully by Emily. I wonder if she can successfully manipulate Lydia's memory. I imagine sooner or later that would end up backfiring on her. It seems as though she's trying to place the blame on Frank's death on the Graysons, although not outrightly, of course. I'm curious to see how long those two detectives actually stick around and how clever they are.

And, of course, Amanda...I can kind of understand some frustration or hurt feelings for being "pushed out" of the Hamptons, but it's not like she murdered Frank on Emily's orders and has some sort of right to be taken into her little Hamptons unit. Although, even if she had been acting on Emily's orders, Emily would want Amanda gone as quickly as possible no matter what to make sure that nothing can be pointed back toward her. Amanda clearly has her eye on Jack. So, it will be very interesting to see how Emily reacts to all that, if she'll still be able to keep some tight reins on her plan, etc. Now that it seems Amanda's here to stay for a while, the question arises--is it she who killed Daniel? As Emily said in her voiceover at the end of the episode, the easiest way to get back at someone is to take away the thing they love the most. Could Amanda be trying to get back at Emily for something that happened in their past--or even as a way to "even the playing field"? It's clear that Emily used the identity exchange to her best interests more than Amanda seems to have done. Maybe it's a case of jealousy or feeling that she has a right to some of that happiness because she was part of the scheme...Just some thoughts.

[Nico]

Wow, long post Marie lol.

SPOILER: Click to show

Do we know background on Ashley & Emily? the friendship? they always seemed to be good friends and it is very strange that she is so eager to 'teach Emily a lesson' that tells me there is some bad feelings that go beyond Emily being a multi Billionaire and Ash not.

One very interesting point to this episode was the last scene with Daniel, when Emily went back into bed and he gave a look like he was getting suspicious.

Amanda was given alot of cash that she obviously burned threw way to fast and I am sure posing as David Clarke, the supposed terrorists daughter was not easy.

I am wondering what name Amanda will use, will she come out as Amanda Clarke?

[shred]

SPOILER: Click to show

I always wondered how Ashely and Emily knew each other. They seem to have known each other before Emily came to the Hamptons though. So how did that happened? :-\ Was it part of her networking before she made her move?

Watching Ep 8 tonight so I can't comment on anything else.

[shred]

I don't understand Ashely.

[Deleted]

I don't understand Ashley, either.

SPOILER: Click to show

No, I don't think we've been shown/told yet how Ashley and Emily have become friends. Yes, Irene, it was before Emily moved to the Hamptons. I believe that Ashley mentions to Victoria how the two know each other when Emily gets her name put on the list for Victoria's party in the first or second episode--another charity function or something along those lines I think but I can't remember exactly--although we're not given anymore detail. You're right, Nico, it does seem as though it goes beyond money, which seems to be a large factor in Tyler's whole scheme, but I really don't have any idea of what Ashley's motivation could possibly be or what she may want to accomplish. I wonder if Tyler and Ashley are scheming together?

Well, Amanda certainly can't come out as the real Emily without her own past being brought under investigation, and I doubt that acting as the real Amanda Clarke could do her much better. I'm sure she has some idea of who the people around Emily are--their link to her past--and would realize that they would cause more trouble for her than she probably wants. Depending on who, if anyone, other than Emily knows her as Amanda (remember she was real coy with Jack about her name when he met her at Nolan's) she could easily choose a new last name or a whole new identity without anyone but Emily knowing any different. Of course, depending on how much she's into Jack, she may realize that trying to play the real Amanda Clarke could be to her advantage. I'm sure we'll find out more about what she decides to call herself and what her reasons for staying in the Hamptons are in the next episode, since I imagine it will focus primarily on her again.

As for Daniel being suspicious...yeah, I think so. And from his look it seems as though he may have had his suspicions for a little while now. Although, that being said, is he suspicious about her involvement in Frank's murder or any of the other events that have happened, or does he suspect that she's sneaking out to spend time with Jack?

[Beck]

This is starting here in January, looks interesting so I will probably watch it.

[Deleted]

I've really enjoyed it so far. I think it's the kind of show that you will either like or dislike, but you can't be ambivalent about.

Ep 9

SPOILER: Click to show

Still don't understand why Ashley is unhappy about her job with the Greysons. It's not like they are abusing her. Anyway, don't really care much about her.

Don't like the real Emily. Didn't think she'll take her role as Amanda that far. The way I see it, she's only doing it to get close to Emily again so that they'll be a 'family' or whatever they were before.

Tyler's antics are boring me. Though I'm interested to see how the whole Tyler/Nolan thing will progress. Based on this week's promos, it's not going to be easy to get ride of Tyler or keep him quiet.

Curious to know what role the Japanese dude played in Emily's plan.

Comments in general:

SPOILER: Click to show

I like this show. Its extremely addictive. I saw one ad, got the first 8 eps and watched them in a row. Now watched Ep 9 of course.

I actually had in my head that it wasn't Daniel who was dead on the beach. I know that its been "confirmed" by the creators that it is, i just know we never saw his face. Not once. I know that Charlotte flipped out, that Victoria was screaming like a banshee, i know his phone was in the pocket of the jacket and that Jack was clearly disturbed as hell. Just wasn't completely sure for some reason........

This is random and strange, but i think Tyler is completely miscast. He is totally unattractive and not good looking at all. For that character to work properly i think the actor needs to be extremely hot and have that charm. Without it he is just annoying and i sit there thinking uh huh.

[shred]

Oh I would hate it if it wasn't Daniel!
