'Revenge' Goes in for the Girl-on-Girl Kiss!

'Revenge' Goes in for the Girl-on-Girl Kiss!

It was only a matter of time before television’s hottest new guilty pleasure Revenge went in for the time-honored ratings grab -- the lesbian kiss. Yet, somehow, a girl-on-girl kiss seems tame compared to some of the shenanigans Emily (Emily VanCamp), Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) and the gang get up to.

It was only a matter of time before television’s hottest new guilty pleasure Revenge went in for the time-honored ratings grab -- the lesbian kiss. Yet, somehow, a girl-on-girl kiss seems tame compared to some of the shenanigans Emily (Emily VanCamp), Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) and the gang get up to.

Sadly, neither Emily nor Victoria are involved in the upcoming kiss. Rather, it’s Emily’s stand-in since juvie, Amanda (Margarita Levieva), who’s come back to the Hamptons to reclaim her life –or rather Emily’s life—by hooking up with Emily’s girlhood crush Jack (Nick Wechsler).

According to TV Line, “Jack finally lets his guard down with Amanda” — but it’s her inhibitions that are really coming down as she gets rowdy in the Stowaway, Coyote Ugly-style, and starts making out with a pretty young thing of the female variety!”

While the lesbian kiss has long been a staple of sweeps and ratings grabs, somehow it seems less gratuitous with Revenge than with many shows as absolutely nothing is off the table on the hot new soap. 

The episode entitled "Infamy"  airs January 11, on ABC, but for fans who're chomping at the bit for Emily and Victoria, Revenge is back with its first new episode since the holiday break tonight! 

Check out TV Line for a photo gallery that includes Amanda's dalliance.
