Revenge Season 4 Spoilers: Emily and Victoria Will Battle to Control David Clarke

The Revenge Season 3 finale contained the shocking twist that Emily Thorne's father, David Clarke, was still alive, presumably waiting for his moment to reenter the game. But what does Season 4 hold for David, Emily, Victoria and the rest?

Executive producers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts spoke to E! Online and explained the decision to bring back David:

"The show had reached a point where it was collapsing in on itself because with the Initiative, we tried to go bigger," Berg said. "It didn't seem to work as well, it didn't feel intimate, so we were running out of people for revenge and unless we were able to turn the show on its ear and make a big, big splash and change...it made it exciting for all of us to move forward."

Harberts, meanwhile, explained how David's return affects the fabric of the show.

"It's Emily's time to realize she did this in the name of her father, was that the right thing to do? Is he happy about that or is he disappointed? It's going to be a father-daughter relationship season.

"The character of Emily is so central to the show and after three years of exploring her through that lens of revenge, the staff was like what new element in can come into her life that will shake her up completely and allow us to force Emily to find out who Amanda is and we realized it's her father. Bringing David back, he's the one character out there who could really push a lot of her buttons. For us, we're always looking to do new dynamics and find something new." 

Berg also previewed the main arc of Season 4. "The drive of season four will be Emily discovering who Amanda Clarke is and Emily figuring out her new life with her father in it. I don't want to say when she's going to discover it that, but that's going to be our arc for the season."

The two also said Emily and Victoria would vie to control the somewhat unstable David. For more, read the full article here.
