Her other prominent television credits include Law & Order: SVU, Nurse Jackie, Person of Interest, The Newsroom, The Good Wife, and 30 Rock. Additionally, Marvel provided a recurring role in Netflix's Unbelievable and she was one of the main characters in Hulu's short-lived Helstrom last year. She also played a recurring role in Fargo Season 2. Most notably, Marvel is known for her roles in Netflix's House of Cards, Showtime's Homeland, and CBS's The District. “There could be a spooky haunting!” Karkanis suggests.As The Major, a woman who leads a government entity that weaponized the "callings" that are frequently experienced by Flight 828 passengers, Elizabeth Marvel plays a calculating supporting character in NBC's Manifest. Her character lives on through Cal, through Olive, through baby Eden, and of course through Ben as he tries to carry on without her.” And yes, the door is open to possibly see her again. This was part of our story, and her significance in Manifest remains as strong as ever. What the creator wants to make sure fans know is that they “did not make this decision lightly,” he says. And it’s why I’m sure people are tearing their hair out all over the world right now having seen what happened to Grace in that Season 3 finale. She, in that moment, and in so many moments, perfectly captured the power and the pain of every mother, every wife, every woman, and her ability to channel that emotional state again and again and again is why the audience is so deeply in love with Grace as a character and with Athena as an actress. Rake agrees, adding, “Athena basically broke her arm and still managed to give that unbelievably powerful performance. “It made the audience just lock in and realize the significance of them being in a way and how important those characters were to her character.” “That moment was so important because it made the audience realize that we can love these characters through her because of her love running towards us and her emotions that were coming out towards those characters,” Dallas says. That was also true of the family’s reunion in the pilot when Ben and Cal returned after 828 disappeared for five and a half years. Athena just knows where the heart and soul of a scene lies,” Rake adds, pointing to her performance in that scene, the last one they shot for the season, and remembering looking at the director and saying, “What Athena is giving us right now is exactly what this moment wants to be.” “I don’t know that I’ve ever worked with a more intuitive actor. “Also it would have been wrong to play that moment as, ‘Oh my God, Cal, look at you, you’re so tall now!'” “A mother knows her child,” Karkanis says. If you thought Grace didn’t look as shocked as she should have been by the new Cal, that was by design. The sacrifice he made in giving up those years is one “he’s made for everyone in the world,” not just his family and the other passengers.īut one person who didn’t really need an explanation was his mother. “It’s for Ben and the others to figure out where he’s been, why he was there, what happened there,” Rake says. Speaking of the inexplicable, there’s the matter of where Cal was after he disappeared near the end of Season 3 before returning, having aged. “A Season 4 of Manifest for Ben is absolutely centered around processing, digesting, coming to emotional terms with such an unspeakable loss, and then trying to find a way to seek vengeance, to kind of justify the act in terms of finding some meaning out of it. It’s “the most fundamental, life-altering, devastating thing that could happen to ,” the creator says. We have to keep it to ourselves and let them be shocked when they turn the page.”īen still has to find out about Grace’s death at the end of the finale, he only suspects something has happened due to a Calling. He left it up to Karkanis, who said, “No, absolutely. “When Athena and I talked about it, we said to each other, ‘Should we tell the other actors?'” Rake recalls. The rest of the cast was as well, and that’s due to Karkanis. If you were shocked by what happened to Grace, you weren’t the only ones. Watch the video above as they discuss that death, what’s next, and why Cal aged, then read on for more scoop if the series is renewed for a fourth season. At least half ended on such major cliffhangers that it’s unbelievable fans won’t find out what’s next.Īfter that, TV Insider had to get answers and turned to creator Jeff Rake, Josh Dallas (who plays Ben Stone), and Karkanis.
