Revenge Season 4 Spoilers: Brian Hallisay's Relationship with Emily Thorne

Fans of ABC's Sunday night soap Revenge likely know that Brian Hallisay will recur during the upcoming Season 4 as Ben, a potential new love interest for Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp). But would Emily really dive into a new relationship so soon after losing Aiden in the Season 3 finale?

The "Ask Ausiello" column at TVLine has an answer.

"What can you tell me about Brian Hallisay's character on Revenge? I'm still not over losing Aiden, and I can't imagine Emily is ready to move on. - Kate
Ausiello: You're right about one thing, Kate: Emily's not ready to jump into a new relationship. But that doesn't mean sparks won't fly between Emily and Hallisay's Ben. 'In the scenes they've had together so far, they've had great energy,' showrunner Sunil Nayar says. 'But we want to take our time with these things; Emily has so much she's already dealing with, we don't want to be casual about the next person she chooses to give her heart to. That said, there's definitely an energy between them that we're enjoying. We didn't bring him on to be Emily's love interest, but by the same token, we didn't not bring him on for that.'"

So Nayar gave a bit of a non-answer there, but he at least left the door open for Ben and Emily to have some sort of romantic relationship in Season 4.

What do you think, Revenge fans? Will Emily and Ben become more than friends? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
