The finale of Revenge’s first season left three characters’ lives in the balance. We know that either Victoria, Charlotte, or Lydia will be six feet under come Season 2, and our money’s on young Charlotte.

But we didn’t come to this conclusion at random. Here are the top three reasons why we’re convinced Charlotte Grayson will be the one to die in Season 2.

1) Victoria Grayson Can’t Be Dead

Madeleine Stowe is far too fantastic to be written off the show. That’s a simple statement of fact. Another fact is that actor Josh Bowman has already said Vicky’s not a goner. There’s no way they’d get rid of the show’s biggest star for the second season.

2) Creator Mike Kelley Said Death Will Be Tough for Audiences

In an interview with TV Line, Revenge creator Mike Kelley said that one of the potential three victims was definitely dead and added, “Yes, it’s an important death. At least one of the characters will have died, and it’s going to be difficult for fans to [accept].”

Audiences would struggle with the death of a character as young as Charlotte, because it’s never easy to accept loss so early in life.

This also basically eliminates Lydia from the list of victims because few Revenge fans would care about her since she’s the no-good tramp of Conrad Grayson. And if it’s between losing Victoria and Charlotte, it looks like the youngest Grayson’s got to go.

3) Charlotte’s Death Will Impact Multiple Characters

Apart from the fact that Charlotte is one of the show’s youngest characters, her death will also affect a slew of characters, including Declan, Conrad, Victoria, Daniel, and Emily.

Declan is sure to feel guilty for shouting at her on the phone just minutes before she ODed. Conrad will blame himself (or Victoria) for Charlotte’s early exit. Victoria will blame herself since Charlotte overdosed after thinking her mother was dead.

Daniel will realize that his twisted involvement with Grayson Global kept him from spending time with his sister (seriously, we haven’t seen them together since the pilot). And Emily will blame her revenge-based actions on her half-sister’s death.

The ramifications of Charlotte’s death will be interesting enough to make it far from meaningless.

沪江娱乐快讯：《复仇》（Revenge）第一季的季终集留下了三个生死未卜的角色。我们都知道维多利亚（Victoria），夏洛特（Charlotte）还有莉迪亚（Lydia）三人中的一人将告别第二季，而我们猜测那个人是小美女夏洛特。

我们可不是随随便便就得出了这个结论。以下三个理由解释了为什么我们认为夏洛特·格雷森（Charlotte Grayson）将在第二季中死去。

1.维多利亚·格雷森不可能死

女王维多利亚的扮演者玛德琳·斯托（Madeleine Stowe）实在是美得让人不忍心让她从此不再出现。这是其中一个简单的原因。另一个原因则是维多利亚的宝贝儿子丹尼尔（Daniel Grayson）——乔什·鲍曼（Josh Bowman）已经亲口确认了她还活着。另外，《复仇》不可能让本剧最重要的角色在第二季就死去。

2.该剧主创麦克·凯利（Mike Kelley）说这个死亡的角色会令观众们很伤心

《复仇》的剧集总监麦克·凯利在接受TV Line网站采访时曾说那个三个可能死亡的角色中肯定有一个人真的死去，并且他还说，“没错，这个角色的死亡对剧情发展很重要。至少有一个角色要与观众道别了，她的死会让观众觉得很难接受。”

这番话基本排除了死者是莉迪亚的可能性，她只不过是康拉德·格雷森（Conrad Grayson）的一个毫无用处的情妇，根本也没几个观众会关心她的生死。如果维多利亚与夏洛特之间必然有一个人死去的话，最年轻的夏洛特看上去可能性比较大。

3.夏洛特的死会影响多个其他角色

我们猜测死者是夏洛特不仅因为她是最年轻的角色之一，而且她的离世还将对不少角色产生影响，其中包括德克兰（Declan），康拉德，维多利亚，丹尼尔以及艾米莉（Emily）。

德克兰肯定会为当夏洛特死前几分钟打电话给他时，他还在电话里对她大吼大叫而感到内疚。康拉德会因夏洛特的猝然离世而责怪自己（或者维多利亚）。夏洛特是得知了母亲的死讯之后服药过量的，因此维多利亚也会自责不已。

丹尼尔会后悔自己忙于管理格雷森国际（Grayson Global），所以很少与妹妹夏洛特相处（说真的，自从试播集之后，我们就很少看到他们俩在一起了）。还有艾米丽会认为是她的复仇行动害死了自己同父异母的妹妹。

总之，夏洛特的离世将会为《复仇》第二季带来更多看点，她的死绝对不是毫无意义的。
