[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Revival Season 1 Episode 2 “Keeping Up Appearances.”]
The city of Wausau has without end been modified on the brand new Syfy collection Revival. Abruptly, individuals who died inside a two-week interval got here again to life, for essentially the most half, seemingly regular. (They do heal from any postmortem accidents.) The premiere ended with the stunning reveal that one of many daughters of the city’s sheriff, Wayne (David James Elliott), is a reviver. However as Em (Romy Weltman) tells her sister Dana (Melanie Scrofano), she doesn’t need their dad (additionally Dana’s boss!) to know.
To this point, Dana is protecting that from Wayne. And, in Episode 2, Wayne warns Dana about grabbing Em (who has Osteogenesis imperfecta, also referred to as brittle bone illness). He additionally decides he needs to lock up revivers. And given what he doesn’t learn about his personal daughter, TV Insider needed to ask the manager producers Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce how his angle would change if he knew about Em. It’s a query that can be requested in a future episode, Koontz reveals.
“That’s the factor, proper? That’s what makes it so attention-grabbing for Em to be a reviver,” explains Boyce. “You’ve acquired the Cypress dynamic the place, initially within the collection, Dana’s taking this exterior perspective of them. She simply needs a case about it. She simply finds it attention-grabbing. Whereas Wayne has this very robust opinion about them, and each of these are pressured into a really actual, private, shut understanding of it as a result of this individual that they each have needed to shield their entire lives and have been overprotective of acquired murdered. It’s not simply that she’s a reviver. It’s that the worst doable factor they may think about — their sister, daughter getting harm this fashion — truly occurred. In order that creates simply attention-grabbing battle. It creates attention-grabbing storytelling.”
Provides Koontz, “Wayne additionally, I feel, remains to be coping with — and we discuss this within the first couple episodes — his spouse’s dying of simply a few years in the past. And I feel the concept that, ‘These folks have come again, however my spouse can’t come again,’ begins to create this animosity of, it hurts. It hurts as a result of now he’s having to cope with his spouse’s dying each time he sees one in all these folks, however but he’s not in a position to look via that judgment that’s there to even perceive or have the wherewithal to grasp that possibly another person near him might be this.”
