Top 5 Victoria Grayson Moments on Revenge

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing our Top 5 favorite moments for each character on Revenge. We’ll start with the mean queen of the Hamptons herself, Victoria Grayson …

5. Victoria inadvertently pushes Amanda off a second-story parapet onto the hard marble floor below. This scene was one of the show’s campiest, with the slow-motion effect of Amanda (clearly a doll or mannequin) going over the rail and landing perfectly positioned on the floor.

Emily attempted to return her unopened engagement gift, but Victoria insisted she open it. An embarrassed Emily opened the lovely box to find nothing, and Victoria politely told her that “nothing” was what she knew would come of Em’s relationship with her son. Sting…
