Revenge Season 4 Spoilers: No Flash Forward in Season Premiere

ABC's Revenge made a habit in its first three seasons of opening the season premiere with a flash-forward to a point later in the season. But according to a new report, that's not going to happen in Season 4.

The "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine reports the following.

"Is Revenge really not doing a flash-forward this season? It's the show's signature. -Jason
I can confirm that - tradition be damned - there will not be a flash-forward in Revenge's Season 4 premiere (airing Sept. 28)."

The Season 1 premiere showed Emily (Emily VanCamp) and Daniel's (Josh Bowman) engagement party and showed Daniel getting shot on the beach. Season 2 opened with the reveal that Jack's boat had sunk with a seemingly dead body inside of it. Season 3 started with Emily floating in the water with bullet holes in her abdomen.

In other news, the "Spoiler Chat" column at E! Online has some scoop on David Clarke's return to the show.

"Shawn: Bring on the Revenge scoop, I'm dying over here!
If this is a real life-threatening emergency, please hang up and dial 911. If you were just being dramatic, then good for you, 'cause I always am and please pause for the following scoop: David Clarke (James Tupper) is back, as you know, and I am hearing crazy-good things about his storyline! 'I'm really excited to be back with the cast, it's super fun,' James Tupper says of being resurrected. As for what version of David fans will be meeting? 'I think he's been through a lot in his life, he's working it out. He's got a lot of issues. Maybe he needs a therapist?' Because that always goes so well on Revenge."
