Tonight On The Midseason Finale Of REVENGE … Who Will Die?
Courtesy/ABC
As they have promoted, “Nobody does death like Revenge!” And tonight on the season four midseason finale of the dangerous soap in the Hamptons, somebody will meet their maker, but who? It all starts beginning at 10PMET/9CT on ABC.
This season thus far, we have been introduced to some new characters Officer Ben (Brian Hallisay), Agent Taylor (Courtney Ford), and Louise (Elena Satine), could they be ready to exit the canvas? Or, could it be long running characters such as Daniel (Josh Bowman), or the now treacherous Margaux (Karine Vanasse)? Then there is Charlotte (Christa B. Allen), who has already supposedly “died” on the canvas before, so to have it be her again might just be an “Ah, O.K. then” moment.
Then there are the characters who impact are felt more widely! Could it be the end for Jack Porter (Nick Wechsler) … or Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann)? It would be hard to imagine and out of the question that Victoria (Madeleine Stowe), Emily (Emily VanCamp) or David (James Tupper) would be axed because they are this season’s epicenter of the show.
We do know that ABC has teased that in tonight’s episode entitled, “Atonement”, look for Emily and dad David to team up … but who might they be targeting? Watch a promo for tonight’s episode after the jump, which takes you through the harrowing moment last season when Emily found her beloved Aiden (Barry Sloane) murdered and other assorted deaths! Following that, a clip from tonight’s episode to get you to ponder. Then weigh-in with your prediction! Which character will die before the show takes a holiday break?
hmmm who will die?
It won’t be Emily .. She is the star and if she was killed Revenge would end..
Not Nolan, he is a stay til the end..
I do not know who will die, mostly who will not die ..
I hate the direction this took tonight with who they killed off. (Not saying who it was since the West Coast hasn’t seen it yet…I know this show doesn’t get many responses but just in case.) What I will say is I was completely flattened by it…sat crying my eyes out…and by killing off this character the show has lost some of its appeal for me. One of my favorite characters…not happy.
So now I can add to my thoughts above. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring back Daniel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. Loved this guy! He was the epitome of the good guy caught up in everyone else’s evil. Yes, when we first met him he came with a “rich kid with an attitude” history…but essentially he was this good guy with dreams of becoming a writer. We learn that he wanted to do the right thing and stand up for his ex girlfriend in court. He loved Emily/Amanda in good faith and with a passion, oblivious to her duplicity. He was a great brother. All that…and he’s gorgeous. And just when they were bringing him back to his humanity…having him come full circle emotionally…analyzing his parents, his own downfall…his regret after sleeping with looneytunes whose name I forget…his earnestness about wanting to start a family, a better family than he had…they create his spiraling demise. Had he lived I could have seen great drama between his love for Margeaux and son, but some residual feelings for Emily which it seemed he had. The dynamic between them was great (they make a great couple in “real life.” hope they last.)
So, it’s sort of ruined the show for me. He, for some reason, had my heart. Moreso than Jack, who I do like…but Daniel just endeared himself to me.
Sigh…I’ll continue to watch and see how it all plays out. We now have Victoria’s revenge…
Sadly, it was not Margaux…….
Hi Shay. Thought this would be an interesting tidbit but you may know this already. Our mutual “love” Dan Stevens plays Sir Lancelot in Night at the Museum 3. He looks great! (long hair, verrry cute!) Quite the departure from Abbey but he has a comedic past in his repertoire. Ben Stiller’s hilarious so I’ll probably check the film out…
Hello, rebecca1!!! Our lamented, lost Matthew (aka, Dan Stevens….) has been featured in quite a few films since his most unwelcome departure from the “Abbey”…none of the roles has really proved to be a breakout for him like “Downton” was, but he is certainly not hurting for work. I still miss him with Mary…they were so perfect for one another, but Michelle Dockery has managed to get past his absence, so I guess we shall have to, as well!!!! By the way, the child actor they have cast as “Mini-Matthew” for Season Five (I mean, “George,”) is an absolute angel….the spitting image of his father!!!! I am quite looking forward to the new episodes…always a treat after the typical holiday letdown, and a great way to begin a new year! Oh…I noticed that my local PBS stations are scheduling the Season Four repeats starting the weekend before Christmas….one is a near-marathon of about six or seven hours and the other is more typical with a few episodes per week. I shall probably tune in to both, time permitting….this show can be watched and enjoyed over and over again…there is always something new and exciting to be gleaned from an additional viewing. Hope you will be able to locate these programs in your area!!!! Season Four was pretty eventful and set a lot of storylines in motion for the upcoming year. Also, tonight is the fall finale of “Forever,” with the unveiling of “Adam.” I was rather jazzed by the notion, but Canadian fans have already seen the episode, and the reviews are mixed. Oh well…anytime I can see IG, then I am entertained…still rooting for the success of this show!!!!!
Hey Shay…still haven’t caught up with Abbey…need to contact my local PBS to find out when I can catch them. They have been doing some sort of recap show…synopsis…which I haven’t watched because it will ruin it for me.
Haven’t seen Stevens in anything since but I will try to catch this…either in the theatre or when it come to InDemand. Probably very funny and as said he looks too fine, lol, in his long hair.
Have to catch up with “Forever” too. Looks like it’ll be a binge weekend if its a rain day!
Sigh…I really will miss Daniel on “Revenge.” Wonder if he’d ever consider doing daytime… 😉
It’s funny, even as I wrote tht last sentence I realiize that though there are actors I just adore and would probably check out most anything they’re in…when it comes to ongoing stories whether it be soaps or primetime…the actor, for me, merge. Meaning that yes, as you know I LOVE Sean Kanan and his AJ…but I’ve only watched him…jeez, what’s he on now? B&B or Y&R? I’ve gone to these shows to check him out in his new role…but I “miss” Sean on GH. Somehow when I see him on the other soap it’s not the same. So, even with “Daniel”…it’d be fun to see him on GH. New bad boy? Missing Q? I think he’d be great! But I’d STILL miss Daniel…make sense?
Makes perfect sense, rebecca1!!!!….I totally miss AJ and have seen SK as B&B’s Deacon one or twice since his departure from GH, but it truly is not the same. The characters are SO different that there is simply no comparison….I myself tend to enjoy the more upper class, aristo types of roles, so watching Sean play a bottom-feeding snake provides no enjoyment for me, despite the fact he does it VERY well!!! I feel the same about Dan Stevens…..of course, I wish him the best of luck in future endeavors, but for me he was Matthew, and that is really all I care to think of him as for now. Ditto with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock….the man is a phenomenal and versatile actor….quite acclaimed in many different parts, but I merely want to watch him as the deft detective. We could go on and on with examples, but you get the drift. I was not so much into Daniel on “Revenge” as you apparently were, but I do understand…the show has not been the same for me since “Patrick” left….(And by the way, I also had a glimpse of Justin Hartley on Y&R, and he’s quite good, but….I’m not about to start visiting Genoa City solely because of him.) The show has simply lost its way….but I shall probably stick with it until its bitter end because of my man Nolan….oh, and speaking of cancellations, I did tune into “The Mentalist” over the last few weeks….still loving Simon Baker, but the program is another matter. As for “Forever,” tonight’s reveal was better than expected….I knew when I saw the opening credits who Adam was going to be, and I think it is a fine choice. Looking forward to picking up with that story in the new year….Lastly, I saw the latest “Downton” preview a number of times…..it was interesting, but gave little away. Just going to have to wait until January….hope you can find Season Four prior to that!!!! It’s definitely worth the watch……
I knew it would be him, was hoping it would be that drip Margot.
I knew too..
James Tupper wanted to leave Revenge but he stayed on for another season, so ya it had to be Danial ..
We see him again at sometime on some show.. hey! maybe with Kelly/Britt lol
James Tupper is the actor who plays David. Josh Bowman played Daniel…and he clarified that the article stating he wanted to leave was not correct.
Kelly would fit nicely into Revenge! Not sure in what capacity but I could see her on that show…wouldn’t mind seeing Josh on GH!

Beyond the Gates
‘Beyond the Gates’ Emmy Winner Ambyr Michelle Wants to Compete on ‘Dancing with the Stars’: ‘Pick Me’ (Exclusive)
Soap opera fans are always clamoring for when Dancing with the Stars reveals their cast each season, that they would include a familiar face from daytime drama, but it rarely happens, if ever, anymore.
Over the last several years, the series has leaned heavily into casting celebrities with massive TikTok or Instagram followers, which in turn, have helped this season and last have their best ratings numbers in years.
But, how about for next season’s cast of Dancing with the Stars, that it could include newly-awarded Daytime Emmy winner, Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) of Beyond the Gates?

LOVE OF DANCE TO LOVE OF ACTING
Michael Fairman TV spoke to Michelle about her dance background and if she would love a shot at lifting the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy during Wednesday’s November 11, livestream chat on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Ambyr explained to fans (who joined in on the live chat), how she began her show business career. “I started off as a dancer, first and foremost. Acting wasn’t really something I wanted to go after. I did plays when I was younger, but it was just something we did in school, but I really wanted to be a dancer. I moved out to LA to dance, and I fell out of love with dance, which was so weird.”
This year’s Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series winner, added, “I was like, ‘What is going on?’ I moved all the way out here for dance. I found I was forcing myself to go to dance class, and I just didn’t have the passion for it. I was working at this restaurant at the time, and one of my coworker was like, ‘What about taking an acting class out here?'”
Next, Ambyr took the coworker up on the idea. “So, I took an acting class and I fell in love with it that day,” shared Michelle. “I was like, ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life.’ I thought, I would love to book a role, of course, as a dancer, but I think acting has a little bit more longevity.”

A SHOT AT THE LEN GOODMAN MIRRORBALL TROPHY
When the talked turned to if Ambyr would consider or be interested in appearing on the ballroom dance competition series, she piped up with, “I would love to do Dancing with the Stars! Pick me!”
As those in the live chat rallied around this idea, it made us think, Ambyr could be the first contestant from Beyond the Gates, and someone representing the soaps. It checks off so many boxes! To which Ambyr replied, “That would be beautiful.”
You can check out the full conversation with Ambyr below.
So, what do you think soap fans? Can we make sure Ambyr’s name gets in front of the producers and casting director for next season’s Dancing with the Stars? Would you like to see her in the competition? If so, who would be your dream pro professional dance partner for her? Let us know in the comment section.
The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
