20 Reasons Revenge Won't Be as Sexy Without Daniel Grayson

Revenge fans might still be reeling from this week's crazy episode, in which we lost a character we'd grown to love: Daniel Grayson. Emily's one-time husband died in her arms on the beach while he bled out from a bullet wound. There are worse places to die, but we're really going to miss Revenge's resident pretty boy. Josh Bowman, who is in a real-life relationship with his costar Emily VanCamp, has been a bright spot on the show, even when the plot went through a bit of a slump. In his character's honor, we present an ode to the late, superhot Daniel Grayson. Scroll through to remember all the sexiness.
