Revenge Season 4 Spoilers: Emily VanCamp Talks Daniel's Death

The Season 4 midseason finale of ABC's Revenge ended with the death of Daniel Grayson, who had been with the show since the beginning. Fans have had time to get over the shock, but star Emily VanCamp revealed in a recent interview that the character's death affected her deeply.

This is partly because her real-life boyfriend, Josh Bowman, played the character. VanCamp told E! Online that she knows Revenge fans aren't too happy with the decision.

"I think they're pretty pissed at us!" she said. "Our fans are angry. I mean, you know, it was something that was discussed a while back, and it was a way to move the story forward. And you know, we lose people on this show. It's brutal and it's awful because we all love each other and we really do get along, so it's just brutal."

"It was a huge bummer," co-star Nick Wechsler, who plays Jack, added with regard to Bowman's departure. "We all loved [Josh], and he's a lot of fun to have around, and he was great. I think he got even better over the course of the show."

But one of the show's stars took a more optimistic approach to Daniel's demise.

"[It shows that] they [the writers] are not afraid to go in any direction on this show," said Gabriel Mann, who plays Nolan, "and then they are swinging for the rafters for the second half of this season."

Now that one of Emily's loves is gone, what becomes of her love life?

"[Emily's] always just got so much going on in the love department!" VanCamp said. "But we've got this new character Ben... He sort of swoops in there for a minute. We'll see where that goes. I think right now she's just trying to figure out how to be somewhat of a normal human, so she's dabbling in different things. But I think we all know at her core, it was always Aiden or Jack, and Aiden's gone, and they're developing this... I do think that these two (Jack and Emily), no matter what has happened, there's such a deep love and connection there, that we actually are starting to explore a little bit more which I think the fans will be really excited about."
