Emily VanCamp

Emily VanCamp, VENGEANCE stalks a millionaires’ playground in this prime-time soap. Emily VanCamp is a good girl gone bad. The 25-year-old Canadian spent four years as lovable doctor’s daughter Amy Abbott on Everwood. VanCamp followed that with four years as slightly troubled but sweet-natured Rebecca Harper on Brothers & Sisters.

Now she is playing vengeful – and having a ball. On the set of Revenge, VanCamp is about to unleash “the croc”, the icy stare she employs whenever her character, Emily Thorne, is contemplating payback.

VanCamp purses her lips, her eyes narrow and a stony look crosses her face. She goes from sweet to scary in seconds.

“I had this idea that Emily was like a crocodile,” she says. “She’s swimming around the Hamptons taking down people all over the place.”

Revenge is a modern-day sex-changed retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo.

Formerly Amanda Clarke, Emily returns to the millionaires’ seaside resort after 17 years.

It is there, at nine, Emily saw her father, David Clarke, framed by his neighbours and sentenced to life in prison.

Emily plays sweet and friendly but she is consumed by rage, loss and betrayal. She has only one thing on her mind – vengeance.

She will use all means necessary to get back at her sworn enemies, including glamorous matriarch Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) and husband Conrad (Henry Czerny).
