Last season, Bowman made headlines for saying during an interview that he wanted Daniel to be killed off the show, but the actor said his words were misinterpreted.
"I'm extremely appreciative of the show. I had a lot of fun and I completely come from a character point of view, not a selfish Josh point of view. My point of view is to move the story forward, it's great to have a death on a show and I think if anyone was going to die on the show it was going to be my character. He's the sacrificial lamb, if you like."
Nayar seconded Bowman's story-first attitude, saying his comments last season didn't play a part in the decision to off Daniel.
"It was sort of strictly storyline. I remember he said that last year and that was right when he found out he was shooting Emily. And he thought, how the hell do I get redeemed from this, and I said, ‘Trust us, I think we can find a way,'" he explained. "And he trusted us and we got through it and we got to the end of the season, we spoke at the beginning of this year, it wasn't motivated by a desire to get off of the show, but it was informed by an idea that we could finish his journey really correctly. I don't think even on Josh's side it was, ‘I need off of Revenge.' It was, ‘OK, if this is the way we're going to do it, let's go for it.' So he was completely supportive of it."
