Good And Bad News For 'Revenge' Fans; Former Major Character Up For A 'Compelling Return; Season 4 Is The Last Fans Will See Of Them

First, the good news. One major character is set for a big-time comeback in the penultimate episode of the fourth season of "Revenge."

Showrunner Sunil Nayar confirmed to TV Line that Christa B. Allen's Charlotte Grayson will resurface in the finale.

Charlotte, the daughter of David Clarke (James Tupper) and Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe), was last seen leaving Hamptons after attempting to kill her half sister Amanda Clarke/Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp). Allen once stated on her social media account that she is gone for good from the show but then tweeted last month a picture of her with a "Revenge" script.

TV Line wrote:

"Despite the (faint) possibility of a fifth season, showrunner Sunil Nayar promises "huge amounts of resolution" in the final episodes of Season 4 - including a "compelling" return from Charlotte, a "life-changing event" on the horizon for David, a "calling on the carpet" for all of Amanda's past misdeeds and a "definitive change" in her fluctuating relationship with Jack. As for the Conrad resurrection fans have been speculating about allllll season, Nayar reminds us that the Grayson patriarch looked "convincingly dead" at the end of Season 3. "But then again," he teases, "so was David Clarke....""

The bad news:

The faint possibility of renewal mentioned above by TV Line has been settled. However, not in a good a way. The last two "Revenge" season 4 episodes are officially the last time fans will see Emily and the rest of the characters. TV Line reported that the ABC show has officially been canceled. Episode 22 called "Plea" will air on May 3 while the finale called "Two Graves" will air on May 10.

Showrunner Sunil Nayar explained to Entertainment Weekly why "Revenge" was cancelled and how fans can find positive things in this bad news.

"We certainly had a pitch of how the show could go on, but this is why I feel so grateful to the studio and the network because they also erred on the side of creativity," Nayar says. "The show is still popular, it's loved worldwide. I can see why all the arguments from even an economic standpoint to maybe keep it going, but at the end of the day-kind of like they had with Lost-they support creativity above all. They really got the sense with us as their partners that we all came up with a great way to end these stories."
