Revenge Season 4 Spoilers: Will Season Start With Flash Forward?

Revenge has started each of its first three seasons by flashing forward to the midpoint of the season to give fans a tease of what's to come. Sometimes it's a wedding. Other times it's someone getting shot. But according to the man in charge, Season 4 might break that trend.

The following comes from the "Spoiler Chat" column at E! Online:

"Nicole: Counting down the days until Revenge returns after that amazing finale! Will season four kick off with another big flash forward to a major event, like Emily's wedding in season three?
That's TBD, according to showrunner Sunil Nayar. But it seems likely that there won't be as the finale allowed the writers to 'shake things up a little bit and do the unexpected and that said, I adore the flash-forwards,' he told us. 'But there's a chance to shake it up from the very first frame of season four, so fans think, 'OK, this is a show that I love, but it's going to be different and surprise me.' There's a chance we might not do it.'"

In other Season 4 news, Nayar also told "Spoiler Chat" about the possibility of Emily Thorne's mother returning next year:

"Meghan S.: I cannot get over Revenge's finale! David Clarke's return was insane! But will Emily's mother also return in season four?
Kara is still out there, so it's a definite possibility, showrunner Sunil Nayar hinted to us. 'She's definitely come up in conversations. Season four is going to be much more about the nature of Emily's family as opposed to the Grayson family than it's ever been before,' he spilled. 'She's someone we're talking about, but we haven't figured out the stories yet, but we love her and we love the character. You never know, she could pop up.'"
