Revenge is by far the best guilty pleasure of the season. Never has a show been so addicting and viewer's so thrilled when it received a full season pick up recently. So many new acting faces, some returning, and so many picture perfect characters that are seemingly broken down in the dire riches that is the Hampton's. When a sweet enough looking Emily Thorne comes to town to seek some revenge, you just don't know who will be the target, what the past may bring and who's manipulating who.
The writing is brilliant and Emily's childhood crush and now bar owner is a guilty pleasure all on his own. Nick Wechsler, who portrays Jack Porter in the series, was happy enough to talk to Ology about the hit series and shared some spoilers about tonight's episode.
OLOGY: First
off, have to ask. How was it finding out about the full season pick up?
NICK
WECHSLER: It was huge. I got
texts like crazy from all of them just gushing. It was great. They were all so sweet. They were saying, 'Hey do you
want to come with us on set to celebrate with everyone?' So yeah. I was unfortunately busy at
the time but it was a lot of excitement. I think they brought champagne to set and apparently it was electric on set.
It was so
exciting to hear there would be more. Now as of more recently, the
character Nolan Ross played by Gabriel Mann seems to mention about you and your
past with Amanda a lot to 'Emily.' How would you describe that dynamic? What
are his possible motives?
I can’t give
you anything, not because I can’t give you spoilers but because I don’t know. [Laughs] Somebody said once that his relationship with Emily is almost
brotherly and it’s like he’s always picking on his younger sister. Her dad took
him under his wing and helped him out when he was struggling. He was like a
father to him and he was a father to her of course. So they’re kind of bonded. It
makes sense. There’s a brother sister type of relationship. Everyone
perpetually is annoyed by him. You're kind of a friend of his reluctantly, it’s
by circumstance he becomes a friend. He obviously obligates me to him with the 'If you’re my friend I'l give you this thing [boat] back.'
I think
he’s--it’s hard to say. The way he’s playing it and the way he’s directed to
play it, is very ambiguous. Its hard to know if he's manipulating us or if his
intentions are good. We don’t know what he’s doing. I'll say this-he’s been
really nice to me. We have a moment in an upcoming episode where I’m kind of
sh*tty to him and I end up apologizing. He makes a nice gesture and
offers to leave me alone and I’m the a**hole. But he tends to manipulate the situation
so I stay friends with him and I don’t know if it’s genuine or if its all part
of some scheme. If he’s pulling some strings or something.
I don’t know what hand
he’s going to have in this whole thing. How involved in what happened at the beginning of this show is he? How involved in the scene my character drags this body out of the surf. How involved in that was he? He seemed to know what was going on back when he was at the Fire and Ice party in the pilot. [Laughs] So I don't know if he really is just nice or filled with manipulation.
What will it
be like now that Daniel Grayson may be coming to work for Jack at the bar?
We don’t spend
that much time--I don’t think I’m blowing a huge thing, but he doesn’t work
there for very long. Which in some ways might be a missed opportunity but maybe
not, maybe not. I think it actually makes room for something better. It only being brief makes a new more dramatic, more
complicated situation. So I think the thing that it left room for is more effective.
But there’s apart of me that says I wish they had known that before and never wasted time hiring Daniel, making people think something dramatic is going to
happen. [Laughs] Because it doesn’t really go anywhere.
What do you
think about tonight's episode Intrigue?
My favorite
script was Intrigue. This one has a lot of major stuff for every character. There’s something significant for every character...Perhaps the most significant moment for my character so far. It happens in this episode and I say that because my involvement is largely that person she knows from the past and one she has feelings for. In this episode we get to address that a little more directly than we have been.
I'm so happy that Jack finally takes the leap and this triangle really begins. How does it affect Emily?
It’s my characters involvement in this whole thing, the love interest in the past. He's someone she can't get too close to because that threatens her whole revenge plan. Not only would it expose it, I imagine it would be hard to love me knowing who she was because she's back for revenge. So she probably--if she just fell for me--it would just ruin her, ruin her plan. So this next episode is that significant moment that will finally address that there's feelings going on and more direct than ever. It was just a fun scene because she’s [Emily VanCamp] just f*cking good. The scene was well written and I for
once didn’t hate what I did.
