Revenge returns to ABC tonight and in a recent interview, the “real Emily Thorne,” Margarita Levieva revealed details about what to expect and whether her character’s intentions are good or bad for our favourite heroine.
“Amanda comes to town to let Emily know that this man Frank was on to them and that she took care of it. She desperately wants to help out, because she loves Emily, so she really is just here to warn her — at least initially. Amanda plans to continue doing things to help this girl who is like a sister to her.”
She also elaborated on whether she is jealous of Amanda Clarke’s new life of luxury in the Hamptons.
“The real Emily was an orphan and doesn’t feel close to anyone in this world; her life hasn’t really turned out the way she had expected it would. So when she sees Emily living this amazing dream, she begins to feel that it’s not fair that they swapped identities. She certainly wants what Emily has, but more than that she just wants them to be able to share it. And it’s not in a devious way, it’s just very real.”
She said that there will be lots of flashbacks to the pair’s relationship in a juvenile detention center and how they became as close as they are.
As far as whether she is a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ character and whether the fans will like her, she told TVLine.com that:
“Well, I have a feeling they won’t because anything done against Emily is going to seem bad because [the fans] love her so much. But hopefully the line between what’s mean and what’s based on truth is clear enough for the audience to see Amanda’s needs and innocence in all of this, too.”
