'Revenge': The body on the beach belongs to...[Editor's Note: If you don't want to know the identity of the body found on the beach in "Revenge's" pilot, stop reading now.] Each new episode of ABC’s “Revenge” further invests viewers in Emily Thorne’s plot to avenge her father’s death. And since the series’ pilot episode, which aired in September and teased a forthcoming climactic beach murder, fans have been dying to find out the victim’s identity. Many speculated that the lifeless body in the sand belonged to Daniel Grayson (Joshua Bowman), Emily’s (Emily VanCamp) fiancé. It was either that gorgeous head of hair, or Daniel’s mother, Victoria (Madeleine Stowe), who put that image in our heads. (In the pilot, as well as last night’s episode, Victoria darts to the scene of the crime, crying out for her son.) |
