**PaleyFest Brings Juicy Revolution Spoilers**

Will the end of Revolution's first season see the end of Monroe?

Monroe PaleyFest

Poor Monroe. Revolution's villain is such a bad guy that no matter how hot he is (and David Lyons is definitely hot), he just can't score any sort of break. Monroe gets no pretty lady (meanwhile, it looks like Miles has two), no real friends and no... second season?

Our PaleyFest correspondent asked David Lyons (the man behind Monroe) what he hopes happens before the end of the season. The stunning actor immediately turned things real bleak real fast. It turns out he just wants redemption... just in case.

"I hope there is a redemptive aspect to Monroe," Lyons said. "I'm not sure that a man like that can be redeemed. But, you know, if he meets a grizzly and untimely death (and I'm not saying that he does)... I think there is room for redemption."

Oh, no! We don't want to see Bass go!

That said, we may have also scored a hint at how he might go. We also asked Lyons about special training the cast was receiving for the show. As it turns out, he hadn't had a whole lot. Until recently, that is.

"I haven't had to do as much as someone like Billy [Burke]," Lyons said. "But I've been doing a little bit of sword work. And that's been a lot of fun."

We wonder if that means Monroe will have a sword fight to the death. (But of course we hope not!)

Team Monroe?

Oh, come on! We can't be the only ones! Do you love Monroe, too?

Well, I'm with the majority of you. If David/Monroe goes I go. Without Monroe there is not Revolution and sorry but he cannot be redeemed! He is the ultimate bad boy and that makes the show. Who is Miles going to fight if not Monroe! Leave him alive and leave him bad!

Monroe has become the reason i watch this show, he's the guy you love to hate This whole republic is called THE monroe republic it would absolutely make no sense in killing him and continue the show. As stated above i'll stop watching.. Interested in randall flynn aswell but not without monroe

I don't want Monroe to die. He's amazing. He's one of the main reasons why I'm watching this show.

I sincerely hope you are wrong and that whatever glimpses you perceived as clues to Monroe's demise were purposely misleading, because like so many, I am a HUGE fan of David Lyons, and he plays his vilain role wonderfully. What would Miles be without Monroe, what would light be without darkness, we simply love to hate Monroe and secretly pray for his redemption. Killing off such a loved vilain would hurt the show beyond words. I, for one, would no longer follow it.

Noooo(( I'm only watching "Revolution" because of David/Monroe. If Monroe dies I'll stop watching this.

NO NO NO NO!!!!!! i'll be short..NO MONROE- NO ME!! i'll quit the show.and i'm not the only one who thinks the same. Team Monroe FOREVER!!

Monroe is the BEST part of Revolution. The drama and the greatest of Revolution lies in the fact that this family of people who once loved each other are at war with one another. This show is about Miles and Monroe, brothers now at odds. Its also about, if I'm reading the body language right, Rachel and Monroe, former lovers torn assunder. Fangirl dream we will get Monroe and Charlie, biological father and daughter. The more the show develops these relationships, the more interesting the show will be. I'm hoping Monroe will eventually start a path to redemption and they'd pick another big bad.

I couldn't agree more with all of you. If Monroe goes, I go. I've been looking forward to the show coming back on because I can't wait to see the next angsty, awesome Miles/Monroe scene. I'm sure not watching it to see a Miles/Rachel soap opera start up. I think I'm actually finally done with tv. All they ever do is the same boring types of pair ups on the primetime drama shows. They had a fantastic thing going with the Miles/Monroe storyline, so of course they're probably going to trash it.

Not exactly sure why comment didn't publish before... Left comment yesterday-- but I agree with you guys. The Bass and Mile dynamic keeps me tuning in each week. I won't keep watching if David's character goes.

Well, they had better not kill him off. Monroe is the character I am the most invested in, and the dynamics between him and Miles. I hope they find a way to redeem him. If he is killed, I will stop watching.

Monroe is awesome, don't kill him!

Well, Monroe is the most interesting character and he still can switch side, others don't. Kill Monroe I will stop watching Revolution.

I refuse to believe it's a possibility right now, in the first season. Think about it, half the show is the conflict between Monroe and Miles. It's the MONROE REPUBLIC for goodness sakes. Plus the actor said MAY and "I'M NOT SAYING THAT HE DOES". Doesn't mean that it's for sure it's going to happen. It seems the writer took the quote and twisted it to make it seem like he was dropping a hint. I'm not saying it's not a possibility later in the series but it would make absolutely no sense to kill him off in this season. All this article is doing is scaring fans on a "MAY".

If Sebastian Monroe dies, I quit watching Revolution. And the character that kills my Sebby will get a horrible, horrible death!fic by yours truly. Bass is the best character there, and I would bawl my eyes out if he went. You CAN'T kill off Sebastian Monroe without angering a whole hell of a lot of fangirls. Just sayin'.

I don't think the creaters of Revolution would kill off a great character like Monroe,they need him and Bass is a great asset to the show!Isnt it called Monroe Militia?David Lyons is so Fantastic in this role,he puts his heart and soul into it,with such intensity,he is just Amazing,blows me away,I truly adore him.He has a great deal of Fans,and they all would be highly disappointed if his character was gone,would lose most of its viewers,indeed.

The best part of Revo, if he goes, I go... Gotta show our bad boy some LOVE!!!! Team Monroe!!!

I really hope they don't kill off his character, I think if they do, it would kill the show. I mean they are in the "Monroe Republic" after all!Although, if he was to get seriously hurt in a way that we are made to think he's going to die, that would be okay, as long as they don't actually kill him off. I think him getting killed off would really screw up the storyline of the show. And if they do kill him off, I don't see myself continuing to watch the show.

Oh please don't kill off Monroe. There needs to be a bitter conflict...and he's hot! LOL

Monroe is about the only reason I watch the show. David Lyons does a brilliant job and adds depth to an otherwise predictable show. If he goes I will probably follow.

I absolutely adore David Lyons. He plays Monroe so well and gives his character great emotion. I believe his character should be redeemed and NOT by dying. Miles gets all this attention that he is the "good" guy when in reality, he is worse then Monroe and the cause of all of this. He is the one who taught Bas everything. Killing people and recruiting kids into the militia. Miles abandoned Monroe when he should have helped him. Monroe never left Miles' side when he was shot but Miles leaves Bass when he needed him the most. They were each others families when their blood wasn't there for them. Bass needs to be saved and redeemed. They always kill the "bad" guy and I hate it. Why can't they for once just save the guy who needs saving. Bass deserves that and David deserves to stay on the show.
