“Hamptons” on the Small Screen – Yet Again
The Hamptons will be featured on the small screen this fall in “Revenge,” a new primetime soap inspired by the Count of Monte Cristo. The show stars Emily Van Camp and premieres September 21. This new nighttime soap opera on ABC is supposed to take place on the East End. Not. Most of the filming will be done in Los Angeles and the Carolinas with only a few establishing shots actually filmed in the Hamptons. Hope they don’t try to pass off some other beach as our world class Main or Coopers Beaches.
