We've had five episodes thus far in the second season of the saucy drama Revenge and, frankly, there's cause to be concern.
What was once the must-watch-live show of the week has found itself in a new, challenging timeslot, but it has also kicked off its sophomore season with some tough-to-take stories such as the lackluster risen from the dead Mom (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Nolan (Gabriel Mann) getting all moony eyed over a chick, not a dude, and scrappy Declan (Connor Paolo) turning to thievery because...zzzzzzzz.....oh...I'm sorry, I nodded off there. (See what I mean?)
Anyway, we wanted to take a step back and cast a deconstructive eye as to why the Hamptons peeps aren't wow-ing us and, more importantly, whether there's still hope that the ABC soap will bounce back.

Currently filming in New Jersey, The Meat Puppet has assembled one of the more unique casts we've seen in some time. From wrestlers to reality stars to a GnR guitarist and a former New York Yankee, this line-up is certainly one to be appreciated. Dig it.
Looking like American Psycho meets Hannibal, The Meat Puppet tells a story of excess, vanity and cannibalism. Quite the combination. Now dig this line-up featured in the film: The Meat Puppet is directed by Joe Valenti (Echelon 8) and features Gregg Valentino (TLC’s "The Man Whose Arms Exploded"), former New York Yankee Billy Sample, Brandon Ruckdashel (Co-ed Confidential), Geri Reischl ("Gunsmoke","The Brady Bunch Variety Hour" as Fake Jan), Jason Prager ("Beauty and the Geek"), Billy Garcia ("Survivor"), Gary Garver (formerly of The Howard Stern Show), Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (Guns N' Roses), Erick Chopin (Winner of NBC’s "The Biggest Loser"), Keith Collins (Stuck in the Middle,...

Favorite New Girl: Zooey Deschanel. Oh, and before you chastise us for going with the obvious choice, please consider this.
Favorite New Girl Not Starring in a Show of the Same Name: It’s a tie… between Awkward’s Ashley Rickards and Suburgatory’s Jane Levy. Seriously. We can’t decide, can you?
Favorite New Guy: In a crowded field of very deserving candidates including Hart Of Dixie’s Wilson Bethel, Revenge’s Gabriel Mann and Once Upon A Time’s Josh Dallas, one man elevated evil to an entirely new level of fun. The Vampire Diaries’ Joseph Morgan, we salute you!
Favorite Fake Newscaster: With his sly delivery and trademark smirk, Seth Meyers continues to demonstrate that should the day ever arrive when Jon Stewart decides to look for other opportunities outside of The Daily Show, the man manning Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update desk is ready and waiting in the wings.

As a rule, actors shouldn’t fear playing unlikable characters, as Nick Raio has discovered. “Taught to Hate” is a short film based in part on real stories of racially motivated crimes against immigrants in Suffolk County, N.Y. In it, Raio plays a man who shares his racism with his nephew.“A lot of my stuff has been either comedy, a gangster, or a cop,” he says. “It was a great role for me, and I like the fact that I was doing something different and that there was a message attached to this film.”The casting notice, which ran in the Aug. 6 issue of Back Stage, called for a Caucasian male, 45–55, and Raio fit the description. At the audition, he read from sides and impressed director James Garcia-Sotomayer, who says he knew Raio was right to play Uncle Ethan “even though there were a lot of other great actors.
