The TV drama Revenge was a totally fun and wild ride, as the series followed a young woman named Amanda Clarke who was pretending to be wealthy so she could punish the people who took her dad down. Fans wonder what Emily Van Camp has done since Revenge as it has been fun to see how successful she has gotten.
Christa B. Allen was an important part of the cast as she played Charlotte Grayson, who was much kinder than her evil parents Conrad and Victoria. And just like some stars complain about their co-stars, the actress is sharing that she doesn't get along with the Revenge cast. Let's take a look.
Some 'Revenge' Beef?
Virtual reunions have been a great way for fans to stay entertained at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and they're also a way for celebrities to connect with the people who follow them. The Hocus Pocus virtual reunion in the fall of 2020 is just one great example.
Christa B. Allen wasn't invited to the Revenge virtual reunion that took place in February 2021, according to People.com.
Christa said that people bullied her and when someone wrote in the comments, "Maybe that attitude is the reason why you weren't invited," Christa said to them, "if standing up to bullying is wrong, I don't want to be right," Allen replied to the comment.
Christa said on her Instagram account, "I'm getting a lot of DMs about the Revenge virtual reunion happening on February 6th. Of course, I would've loved to be there with you all, but as per usual I was not invited. If the entry fee for this reunion is a bit much during these tough times, feel free to come hang out with me on TikTok live the same time, same day for free."
Once Christa talked about being excluded, Mark Wright, the founder of Winklepicker Entertainment, told E! News that the virtual reunion "could only accommodate four of the cast members because of tech limitations" but because they planned to use a "new platform," he could invite Christa. He said, "So we're going to be able to expand the event. Now, we're looking to include the other cast members, if they're available. I'm inviting them all this week."
Fans would always prefer to hear that co-stars love each other and spend lots of time together when not shooting a TV show or movie. It doesn't work out all the time as, of course, as people aren't going to instantly get along or like each other just because they're on the same TV show. Revenge fans would hope that Christa B. Allen would have a wonderful bond with her co-stars, though, but it's too bad to hear that she wasn't initially invited to this reunion.
Christa B. Allen's co-star Madeline Stowe, who played Victoria, did respond, saying to Christa, "You're such a smart woman. I'll have to get a Tik Tok just to watch you live," which is adorable.
Based on Christa's comments, fans get the sense that Christa wasn't particularly close with her co-stars, including Emily Van Camp, as she seemed to be suggesting that she is often left out and excluded. Christa was definitely part of the main cast, though, as Charlotte had many of her own storylines. It was very powerful when she found out that Amanda's dad David Clarke was her father, too.
According to Cheat Sheet, Madeline Stowe hadn't been invited to the virtual reunion, either.
Playing Charlotte
When interviewed about playing Charlotte on Revenge, Christa B. Allen told The TV Addict that she likes how her character was a good person even though she grew up really rich.
Christa explained, "The beautiful thing about Charlotte is that while she has come from this incredibly wealthy and powerful background, she still has a good sense of reality and a good head on her shoulders. And I think that’s part of the reason she’s so attracted to this boy from the docks, Declan, because he is a genuinely caring person. Any individual who’s treated that way and cared about by one person while being treated the way Victoria [Charlotte’s mother] treats her, it’s kind of easy to choose."
It's definitely disappointing to hear that Christa B. Allen wasn't originally asked to participate in the Revenge virtual reunion, as this suggests that she doesn't feel that her co-stars have always included her or been all that welcoming, making fans wonder about what life on set was like.
