Find Emily and Nolan and tell them exactly where to find Victoria. And she even leads Emily directly to her nemesis. Cue the moment from the promo where Emily is pointing a gun at Victoria.
Unbeknownst to his daughter, David followed her and ends up pulling the trigger of his own gun. Jack and Emily get married — and she gives him a very Sammy-like Labrador retriever puppy as a wedding present. Charlotte and Emily have apparently made up, and Charlotte serves as a bridesmaid.
Revenge was born around , out of a meeting with ABC executives about terrible things happening to rich people, a tantalising idea in a post-recession era. And they rightfully said, 'Yes, but what's your story engine? And then someone at the network or the studio said, 'But do it female.
Using The Count of Monte Cristo Alexandre Dumas' famed tale of a wrongfully accused man's quest for vengeance as inspiration, the story started out strong. Taking down her enemies one by one, Emily Thorne used her red Sharpie as a weapon as she crossed out the faces who falsely accused her father. She saved her most burning hatred for power couple and main conspirators Victoria and Conrad Grayson, getting engaged to their son, Daniel, as a way to move in and wreak havoc.
While the first season was wildly entertaining to watch Emily on her quest, the second went off the rails fairly quickly with muddled plots, pointless secondary characters and a murky terrorist organisation called the Initiative that we're not even sure the writers understood. Original show-runner Mike Kelley left in season two, and executive producer Sunil Nayar took over to salvage the remaining seasons.
It was always promised, going back to original Revenge creator Mike Kelley, that the nighttime soap series would end with two graves. Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne was always bound to off the dynasty nemesis who plagued her life, Hamptons queen bee Victoria Grayson Madeleine Stowe , but we never knew who that second body would be lying next to Victoria. But alas, Amanda survives a bullet to the heart, the last one shot by a dying Victoria. She could have wound up in prison, but that would have been a darker way to end the show.
But we had to find a happy ending for Amanda Clarke which is amazing and satisfying to fans. VanCamp says she knew about a month before she received the last script that this was the direction Revenge showrunner Sunil Nayar was taking the show. Where is it coming from? Sunil made it clear that it was a psychological frame of mind, even though she received a happy ending. The idea that Victoria will follow her for the rest of her life is an interesting one.
But the Nolan thing was mostly the cliffhanger there. So, the belief has to be that Margaux is in jail or facing trial, and that Louise did come around. We loved the idea that she was in the inner circle, because we had to build her in—because if there was another season, we basically were going to have her buy the land of Grayson Manor and build this beautiful Southern estate on it, and she would be another big player in the Hamptons.
Ultimately, did Emily need to leave the Hamptons to get her happy ending? And was Jack always the endgame? I mean, he was always one of the major options that we discussed. It was always one that we could never really find a problem with, except that the audience expected it to some extent. It did feel right. But she did always need to get out of there, because that was always her plan, and she did need to get out of there with Jack because that was always his plan. So this departure together for them felt earned and right.
Are there stories you wish you got to tell with these Revenge characters? Not these characters. We had to cut the episode because so much great emotion came in. So there were even moments in this finale, moments with Stevie and moments with Charlotte that unfortunately we had to cut out, that I imagine will be on the DVD extras if people still even do DVD extras.
We were going to have Charlotte go off to college and get her life together while Jack moved out to California with Emily. And then we also set up with Louise and the Grayson Manor estate. Those little seeds that would spur a story on.
But Mason we never managed to get to in the series finale, and Roger Bart did such an extraordinary job with that character. Home Article 'Revenge' boss breaks down series finale: 'I think it felt really right'. Natalie Abrams. Save FB Tweet More. Credit: ABC.
