‘Marvel’s Daredevil’ Season 3 Spoiler Chat: Revealing Karen Page’s Secrets

While Karen Page has been a vital part of “Marvel’s Daredevil” since the series began, Season 3 gives the character, played by Deborah Ann Woll, some of her most pivotal moments yet. That includes a riveting one-on-one encounter with Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) in the eighth episode, “Upstairs/Downstairs,” and looking back on that scene with Marvel.com, “Marvel’s Daredevil” Season 3 Executive Producer and Showrunner, Erik Oleson, recalled, “When the idea came up in the writer’s room, we were all just saying, ‘Oh my god. We have to have this scene.’ We had to have this scene where Karen is at this all-time low, and she’s going to risk it all to try to provoke Fisk into making the one mistake that will send him back to the slammer.”

Oleson noted, “In the comics, in BORN AGAIN, Karen basically sells Matt’s secret identity. In our version, in the show, she lets slip, just with a look, that Matt and Daredevil are the same person. Fisk reads it off her face. So we’re able to get that moment from the comics in a way that was very organic and also didn’t denigrate Karen’s character. She came in with this great goal which is ‘I’m going to send Fisk back to prison.’ And she walked out of that room not just having failed in that, but having accidentally confirmed to Fisk that Matt and Daredevil are the same person.”
