Revenge (2011-2015)

In between the theatrical releases of the R rated flicks Revenge (1990) and Revenge (2017), the boob tube also got a dose of Revenge (2011-2015). This ABC series puts a young, beautiful, and fabulously wealthy spin on the Alexandre Dumas classic “The Count of Monte Cristo” (1844). Set in modern times, the vampy revamp centers around a mysterious stranger (Emily VanCamp) who arrives in the Hamptons. She looks like any other socialite but is harboring a dark secret. Many years ago, her father was arrested and her world was shattered. After a stint in juvie and an inherited fortune, she’s back with the new identity of Emily Thorne. Oh, did we mention she’s on a mission to destroy the people responsible for framing her father and tearing her family apart? In other words, Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) better look out! Meanwhile, we’ll be looking at the show’s manly cast. Dashing Daniel Grayson (Joshua Bowman) reveals his chest on episode 19 of the second season and episode 1 of season 3, which also includes a view of Patrick’s (Justin Hartley) pecs. By episode 4, Justin’s character shares a gay kiss with Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann), who touts his torso while on the beach in episode 12. Not to be outdone, Aiden Mathis (Barry Sloane) flashes his abs in episode 5 as does Jack Porter (Nick Wechsler) in episode 21. Ditto for a boxer-donning Javier Salgado (Henri Esteve) in episode 17. Revenge may be best served cold, but these guys are making us hot!
