Expect to see more of crazy Louise Ellis in Revenge.
The actress who plays her character, Elena Satine, has just been promoted as a series regular, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ellis, a wealthy but mentally unstable character is out to spell trouble for Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) and the rest of the characters in in Revenge. She was born into a wealthy family, but her father "drank himself to death" while her mother tricked her into being admitted in a Psychiatric Hospital by saying it was a health spa.
And while she was admitted under false pretenses, Ellis is really a basket case in need of help. In the psychiatric hospital, she befriended Victoria and later becomes terribly obsessed with her. When she got out, she sought Victoria and even tried to seduce her son Daniel Grayson (Joshua Bowman). She was successful and the two engage in a one night stand.
Revenge showrunner Sunil Nayar told Entertainment Weekly that Ellis is definitely "still crazy."
She suffers from constant hallucinatons of her mother, and to make matters worse, Ellis is helping out the scheming Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann).
"Aren't they great? There's something really nice about it. As the show started, Emily VanCamp really took Nolan under her wing and taught him to do the things he's done. Exclusive of the fact that they are so much fun to watch, she is a damaged bird whom he now gets to watch out for, and that dynamic deepens," said Nayar.
Nayar said that the rest of Ellis' family will be introduced in the upcoming episodes.
"Louise's brother comes to town, and her hallucinations continue. We have a great episode coming up with a huge great twist."
Other actors and actresses who have been promoted as series regulars in season 4 include Brian Hallisay (Ben Hunter), Karine Vanasse (Margaux LeMarchal) and James Tupper (David Clarke).
