Daniel Dies On ‘Revenge’ — Josh Bowman Interview
Remember when we all thought Daniel was the one to die in the opening moments of Revenge’s pilot?
Four seasons later, Daniel’s death is now a reality. Despite the shocking end to a fan-favorite character, Josh wasn’t opposed to the idea of being killed off.
‘Revenge’: Daniel’s Death Explained By Executive Producer — Why He Was Killed
“I’m trying to pitch a Daniel death by the end of the season,” Josh told TV Guide in 2013. “I love working on the show, but I’m just being honest. My character has flip-flopped the most, and it’s been so hard for me to play.”
Wait, what?! Josh only wanted to stay alive if his character went all-out evil.
“He should be despicable, disgusting and emotionless — worse than Conrad,” he continued. “Everything that he never wanted to be times 10! For me, that would be fun and the only way to keep him around.”
Daniel Grayson: Why He Shouldn’t Have Been Killed Off
Despite what Joshua wanted, we were not happy to see Daniel die.
First of all, his relationship with Emily was finally getting to a good place. Their chemistry was off the charts, so don’t act like you didn’t want to see them rekindle their romance. Everyone Emily loves dies — Aiden (Barry Sloane) and now Daniel. Watch your back, Jack (Nick Wechsler).
And now his baby will never know his/her father. Poor Margaux (Karine Vanasse).
We have a few weeks to prepare for Daniel’s funeral, which is sure to be a complete sob fest.
Revenge returns January 4 at 10/9c on ABC.
