Revenge's David Clarke has come home at last, but not everyone will be apprised of his arrival.

The presumably dead Clarke patriarch made a surprise appearance during the season 3 finale, but Emily/Amanda's father will keep arrival a secret from some of the Hampton's residents.

"Certain people come to be aware of his presence," said executive producer Sunil Nayar, according to TV Fanatic. "People will become aware of his existence very quickly and some people will become aware of his existence much later."

Revenge will take a similar slow-reveal approach to David's backstory as well. It may take some time for viewers to learn where Mr. Clarke has been since his alleged death.

"It's a bit of a slow burn," Nayar told TV Fanatic. "There's so much that we want to slowly mine and we want our audience learning who David is along with our characters in some ways, so we didn't feel like burning off a lot of the story because we have some wonderful story to tell, but it'll be a slow burn. You'll get your answers in sort of little bits and pieces, where he's been and what he's done over the last ten years."
