According to E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos, Justin Hartley has been cast as Victoria's long-lost son, Patrick, for a multi-episode arc and his first appearance will be in the season 3 premiere of Revenge. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some more details on the role of Patrick:
Revenge's season two finale ended with a smashing cliffhanger—Patrick appeared at the Graysons' doorstep, and though we never saw his face, the very sight of him shocked Victoria enough to make her drop her glass, shattering it on the floor. Patrick's return will assuredly send shockwaves through the Hamptons in the new season.
Justin Hartley was a fan favorite on Smallville, playing Oliver Queen (Arrow) in the final seasons as a series regular. The 36-year-old actor also played the title role of Aquaman in a failed pilot for the CW, and last appeared on television in the canceled series Emily Owens M.D.
Though fans don't yet know much about Patrick, we know Victoria gave birth to him at age 16 and then gave him away to a nun when he was only 6 months old so that she could attend art school in Paris. (Priorities, people! Beauty before babies!) When Patrick started looking for Victoria later on, she paid him $5 million to disappear. Guess that didn't work?

My thoughts: I've been a huge fan of Justin Hartley ever since he joined the cast of the now canceled soap opera, Passions, and I also liked him on Smallvile, so I'm really excited that he has been cast as Victoria's long-lost son. Although, I have to admit that I fell behind on watching Revenge an episode or two past the halfway point of season two. I'm definitely going to get caught up on watching season 2 in the near future though.
As for season 3, I'm really excited for next season, especially now that they've killed off Declan. I never liked Declan as a character, and I've especially never been a fan of Connor Paolo as an actor. I always thought that his acting wasn't very good when he was on Gossip Girl, and his acting on Revenge was always mediocre at best in my opinion. Justin Hartley being cast as Patrick is definitely the best and most exciting news that I've heard about Revenge's third season at the moment.
