Just as the body count is about to rise on ABC’s buzzy soap Revenge, a source tells EW that the show will make up for that by introducing yet another new character, played by FlashForward and Law & Order: Criminal Intent alum Courtney B. Vance. Vance is contracted to guest star on the series, beginning with episode 16, the hour that follows Revenge‘s big engagement party episode, “Chaos,” airing Feb. 15. (The series’ next new installment, episode 14, titled “Perception,” will air Feb. 8.)

Vance’s character factors into the aftermath of the beach murder. He’s been tapped for four episodes and will play a loyal employee of the Conrad (Henry Czerny) and Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) and described as someone “who gets caught up in a public scandal and romantic entanglement that Emily [Emily VanCamp] will leverage to further her agenda against Conrad and Victoria.” Where most see a new face around Southampton, the devilish Emily clearly sees a new target.

It’s time to meet Grandpa Grayson on ABC’s Revenge: EW has learned exclusively that soap vet William Devane has just been cast as Edward Grayson, the father of Conrad Grayson (Henry Czerny) and patriarch of the powerful Hamptons clan.

Our source says that Edward Grayson is summoned to Southampton by none other than Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe), to help in her divorce battle against her estranged husband Conrad. The Grayson divorce storyline will only continue to heat up when the series returns on Jan. 4.

As of right now, Devane is set to appear as Edward Grayson in episodes 14 and 15, which are currently scheduled to air in February. Episode 15 is the doozy hour that fans have been waiting for, where much about the beach murder that launched the series will be revealed.

Devane is known for a variety of roles, from movies like Marathon Man to Payback, but he’s best known for his 10 years playing the villainous Gregory Sumner on Knots Landing, the spin-off of Dallas.

We’ve made no secret of our love affair with Revenge and Once Upon a Time, but if you’re feeling a bit left out, it’s time to catch up.

'Modern Family,' 'X Factor' lead Wednesday ratings

The rich stayed rich and the poor stayed poor Wednesday night in the ratings, with ABC’s Modern Family setting the pace as the top-rated show and X Factor giving Fox the overall nightly network win.

X Factor (3.8 adults 18-49 rating) was steady with last week, while ABC’s comedy block dipped slightly. The Middle (2.9), Suburgatory (2.8), Modern Family (5.5) and Happy Endings (3.2) were all down between 3-10 percent. Revenge (2.6) was off 13 percent.

CBS had the opposite story: Survivor (3.3), Criminal Minds (3.7), and CSI (2.6) all posted gains between 3 and 9 percent. NBC’s Up All Night (1.9) was up a tick, but Harry’s Law (1.5) and L&O: SVU (1.9) matched their lows.

Tonight marks the official beginning of Declan’s introduction into girlfriend Charlotte’s world on Revenge, and according to Connor Paolo, that’s as scary as it sounds.

“In last episode he was invited to their 4th of July party and he went, but this time, he’s sitting across the table from Conrad and Victoria and a couple other folks that he’s not to comfortable with,” teases Paolo. “Certainly, after everything that happened between Jack and Emily last episode — [which] Declan certainly heard about and found out from his brother — he’s not too happy with Emily. So, things happen…his tongue is not held. It flies free.”  READ FULL STORY »

'Revenge' scoop: Daniel Grayson murder mystery reveal pushed back -- EXCLUSIVE

At the beginning of the current TV season, Revenge creator Mike Kelley told EW that his soap opera’s big mystery — what happened to Daniel Grayson (Joshua Bowman) on the beach the night of his engagement party to Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp, at left)? — would be wrapped up by the show’s 13th episode.

But we recently chatted with the producer again, Kelley backtracked and exclusively told EW that the show’s writers have decided to extend the mystery’s big reveal by two episodes — to episode 15.

“Initially, before we got our full-season pickup, I wanted [the mystery reveal] to be episode 13 because I figured that, in case the show was only hitting for a smaller number of fans, I wanted to be able to satisfy the people who had tuned in and make sure it had bookends,” Kelley says. “But we’re finding we have so much story to tell.”

World Series Game 1 ratings down slightly from last year

The first game of the World Series helped Fox win Wednesday night, but the telecast was slightly lower in the ratings than last year.

The Rangers vs. Cardinals face-off was seen by 14 million viewers, down just 2 percent from 2010. Some thought the game would sink below the 2006 Game 1 all-time low of 12.8 million, but the program avoided that fate. For more baseball’s impact on Fox’s fall, see the EW story: Is the World Series still worth it for Fox?.

Across the dial, broadcast rivals largely shrugged at the baseball competition. Which isn’t to say nothing interesting happened. READ FULL STORY »

'Revenge' scoop: An 'Other' from 'Lost' to star -- EXCLUSIVE

An Other is coming to the Hamptons.

EW has learned exclusively that Hiroyuki Sanada — best known for playing Dogen, a member of the Others on Lost — will recur on ABC’s Revenge this season.

Sanada will play Kioshi Takeda, a Japanese business man with mysterious ties to Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp). He’ll show up in episode 9.

On Lost, Sanada’s character preferred to communicate in Japanese so he required a translator. He was the only one who could keep the Man in Black out of the Temple, but then Sayid drowned him to death, so Titus Welliver’s alter-ego came in as a pillar of smoke and massacred the Others and … but, hey, look at us digressing!

Last week, ABC ordered nine more episodes of Revenge, which brought its total order to 22 for this first season. The show averaged 7.9 million viewers and a 2.7 rating in the adult demographic on Wednesday, just barely edging out CSI to win the 10 p.m. hour.

'Revenge,' 'Suburgatory' get full season pickup

No need for vengeance, Revenge fans, the ABC drama just received a full season order.

As we predicted after Wednesday night’s ratings reversal, ABC has ordered nine more episodes of the show, giving the drama the full 22-hour boat. Last night the show averaged 7.9 million viewers and a 2.7 rating in the adult demo, just barely edging out CSI to win the 10 p.m. hour. The show has been fighting with the CBS veteran every week since it premiered. But whether in first place or second in the hour, ABC is happy with any show that stays out of third — finding new 10 p.m. dramas has been tricky for the network the past few years. Plus, Revenge gives ABC another on-brand soap to join its ranks along with Desperate Housewives (which is on its final season) and Grey’s Anatomy.

ABC has also added a full season order to the new comedy Suburgatory, which stars Jeremy Sisto as a father raising his teenage daughter after moving out to the suburbs. And six more scripts of Happy Endings got the green light as well.
