It’s been previewed as one of the most shocking and exciting season finales on a primetime soaps this year! Will ABC’s Revenge live up to the hype? After last week’s best episode of season three, and season four on the way after the series got its pick-up by the network, things are looking up for this twisted, dark, and delicious drama in the Hamptons!
Now about tonight’s episode airing at 10PMET/PT, just in time for Mother’s Day, will the mother of hell Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) finally get her just desserts? You will have to tune in to find out, but as previewed this week by Revenge showrunner, Sunil Nayar with TVGuide,Victoria is gaining on Emily’s secret, and someone will die!
Sunil on Victoria and Emily’s showdown: “Victoria is getting close and Emily is really close to Victoria, so there’s an element of cat-and-mouse that makes the show so exciting. So exactly what you asked is the point we’re racing towards at the end of the season. A lot of the stories we told, especially in the second half, have been getting to this point where we reenergize Emily’s focus on clearing Emily’s father’s name and taking the Graysons down. We really refocus on the fact that the Graysons are just bad people, wonderfully bad people, and we wanted to get back to the core of the show so that when we culminate at the end of the story, we not only pay off the second half of the season, but three seasons of the show for the audience.”
Sunil on Emily VanCamp’s (Emily) recent quote where she admitted to sobbing on set after the death of a major character in the finale: “I was standing next to her when she was sobbing over that passing and I promise it will be surprising and impactful and alter the journey of all the characters on the show. All of our characters end at points that are wonderful cliff-hangers, but the last two scenes specifically are scenes that will —and I know people say this every year, but I’ve never felt more comfortable in saying — absolutely blow our audience’s minds both with the fact that these scenes are happening and what the implication of these scenes are.”
The episode entitled, “Execution” has already been teased with photos (see another here) of what looks to be a showdown between Emily and Victoria at a gravesite. Will one of these ladies get buried alive? Watch a promo for tonight’s episode below then weigh-in! Who will die? And, will one of the ladies end up digging her own grave?

Hacks co-creator and Downs’ wife, Lucia Aniello shared on Hall’s casting, “It made sense to us that Jimmy’s late father, a big-time manager, would have been married to an actress. When the idea for Deidre Hall came up, it just felt right.”
As for Lloyd, he will portray, reclusive writer Larry Arbuckle, who is to have had a rather famous grandfather. In the episode, Hall and Lloyd’s character intersect, which leads to onscreen sparks.

Nominations were announced on Tuesday for the 77th annual Tony Awards by previous winners, Renée Elise Goldsberry (ex-Evangeline Williamson, One Life to Live) and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
When the dust settled it was Stereophonic (which is loosely based on the story of Fleetwood Mac) and Hell’s Kitchen (Alicia Keys musical) that both scored 13 Tony nominations to lead the pack.
However, Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along made quite the comeback and is nominated for several awards including Best Revival of a Musical and for one of its stars, Jonathan Groff (ex-Henry Mackler, One Life to Live).

Groff is nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical and will go up against Brody Grant — The Outsiders, Dorian Harewood —The Notebook, Brian d’Arcy James — Days of Wine and Roses and Eddie Redmayne — Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.
In addition to his previous Tony nod for his role in Hamilton, Jonathan was nominated for a Lead Actor in a Musical for his role as Melchior Gabor in the original production of Spring Awakening.
Jonathan co-stars in the revival of Merrily We Roll Along “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe and previous Tony winner Lindsay Mendez.
Back in 2019, Groff visited Live with Kelly and Ryan and discussed his debut on One Life while working at night on Broadway in Spring Awakening.
He shared on his experience on the soap, “I do remember my first day because I was doing Spring Awakening on Broadway at the time, and One Life to Live was my first time ever being on TV. So I got this offer, and I was like, ‘Yes, I would love to be in a soap opera,’ and we finished Spring Awakening at 11:00 p.m. and I woke up the next morning at 4:0 a.m. to walk uptown to go to do One Life to Live, and I called my agent and left a message, and I said ‘You have to get me out of this, I can’t wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning!'” You can watch the clip below.
The 77th annual Tony Awards will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, June 16, with Tony and Oscar winner Ariana DeBose returning to host for the third time.
So, rooting for Jonathan to take home his long-awaited Tony Award after several decades in the theater? Do you remember him as part of teen scene on OLTL? Comment below.

I can’t wait for tonight’s episode because i have a feeling a lot of things is going to happen and set the stage for next season too.Plus having Emily finally been revealed as Amanda could reshape the show.As for who dies i’m leaning towards either Aiden or Charlotte.
We will be left with a WHOOPER of a cliffhanger!!
can’t wait for next season!!
I think; they will be looking for Emily’s dad. I think he is alive..
Best finale of any show in years!
I think next season we will find out Victoria has known all along that David Clarke was alive.
