A Refreshed REVENGE Premieres Sunday! New Showrunner Sunil Nayar Weighs-In On Key Relationships!

The third season of ABC’s hit primetime soap opera in the Hamptons, Revenge begins this Sunday at 9EST/8CST on ABC! And the series new boss, Sunil Nayar tells TV Guide its sort of a back to basics season after the confusing conundrum many of the characters and the audience at home found themselves lost in during season two!
Nayar relates: “Last season was very much about destiny, but it got pulled into so many different worlds and got so big and spectacular. So our goal this year is to really take a breath, slow it down and catch up with our characters where they are from where the season ended. We’re bringing everything back to the world of the Hamptons, and we really embrace the lush romance and the intrigue that is the Hamptons.”
The showrunner also shared some Intel on several key relationships that piqued our interest! First and foremost, Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) and long-lost son, Patrick played by Justin Hartley. People who have seen key scenes think their relationship might be kind of “creepy”. Nayar says: “I think what maybe makes it feel a little bit creepy is that you’ve never seen Victoria this open and happy with anybody and it creates an intimacy that is almost disconcerting. There’s a vulnerability that brings with it a greater intimacy than we’ve ever seen because she trusts him and he trusts her.”
And as for Jack (Nick Wechsler) and Amanda, er Emily (Emily Van Camp), and her jaw-dropper at the end of season two (admitting to Jack that she is the real Amanda), Nayar says on Jack’s processing of this revelation: “His goal is to understand who this girl is that has lied for him for two years. So even though there is an anger, there’s also an undercurrent of his connection to her and memories of who she used to be. He has to reconcile who Emily is going to be in his life, but he also feels the need to move on and find himself a happiness that he feels he deserves.”
Make sure to check out the rest of what Sunil had to say about what to expect in season three! So now tell us, what do you hope goes on in the relationship between momma bear, Victoria and wayward son, Patrick? Do you want Jack and Amanda to work their way to each other and through all the lies and deceptions? Share your thoughts below!

First off- Sunil is very handsome sexy, I like looking at him lol ..
I have been waiting for Revenge to return since its last episode..
Sunday exciting!!
I really lost a lot of interest in this show last season. Most of it was horrible. I cannot stand Jack and I do not want to see Emily wasted on him. The two actors have zero chemistry.
To me the zinger in this show would be Emily truly falling for the man she has been using to achieve her revenge. Daniel and Emily are so hot and look beautiful.
Hope the stories are better at least this season. Looking forward to how Justin Hartley does on the show.

Hollywood Studios, Producers & Guilds Send Plan To Gov. Newsom and Gov. Cuomo For COVID-19 Production Restart Guidelines
On Monday, the two states with the most television and film production in the United States (California and New York) received a plan from many Hollywood studios, producers and the entertainment and production guilds of a plan and outline to be able to rejigger and restart production of your favorite shows and films. This includes the soaps: General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of our Lives.
Via Deadline: In an effort to get the industry moving-forward again where jobs were lost or put on hold, and production were completely stalled out-of-the-blue, the guidelines submitted by “The Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee Task Force (the “Task Force”) is asking for consideration and adoption for the resumption of motion picture, television, and streaming productions in an environment that minimizes the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19,” says a report for Governors Gavin Newsom of California and Andrew Cuomo of New York.

You can read the details of the report here. While there has been no word from the Governors and their offices if they have seen the report, bets are that several more steps will be needed before anyone would head and report back to a set yet.
As one would expect, limiting contact, social distancing, regular temperature checks, ways to handle props, and a COVID-19 compliance officer for all productions are part of the proposal. As well as virtual writers room meetings, avoiding filming on-location as much as possible and filming in front of large audiences.
So, glad to know that this major step has been taken to try to get production back on track in Hollywood and New York? Comment below.

British Soap ‘Coronation Street’ Set To Resume Production Next Week Following COVID-19 Shutdown
Will American soaps soon follow the Brits, and be able to start up your favorite soap towns again? While production entities await for guidelines from the state of California and the city of Los Angeles, across the bond, ITV’s Coronation Street has set next Tuesday, June 9th to begin filming new episodes of the popular drama.
Coronation Street had been on 10-week mandatory shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping our globe. The return to start up the show keeps the soap on-air throughout July and then ongoing. There will be three episodes filmed each week at their studios in Manchester.
Along with ITV’s Emmerdale, and other programs, Coronation Street is returning to production under the UK’s guidelines and safety protocols for COVID-19.
According to Deadline that will include: crew members designated to a specific studio or exterior lot … social distancing will be observed … cast and crew will have daily temperature checks, while older and more vulnerable members of the team won’t be part of the new episodes during the initial period of filming.
In a statement, John Whiston, ITV’s managing director of continuing drama, said: “Getting to this point has taken a huge amount of work and goodwill from a huge number of people, not least our cast and crew. With the peak past, all indications are that the time is right for a return to filming. And with the extensive protocols we have put in place, we have made our workplace as safe as possible. I’m sure our audience will appreciate having the show they love continue on air. For many who have written in it is a vital escape from all the fears and stresses this virus brings in its wake.”
So, do you the news on “Corrie” spells a brighter outlook for the American daytime dramas to begin production shortly in some capacity? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
