ThereвЂ™s something in FrankвЂ™s heart thatвЂ™s not totally dead, because he has this affection for Meechum where he can believe him. But I remember doing it and I remember what was going on for Frank, itвЂ™s almost like heвЂ™s so desperate that he has to entertain it as a possibility. The play Richard III has a lot of these elements, just like what happens to this guy at the end. Frank himself is so duplicitous that itвЂ™s like, the poison of being duplicitous is вЂ¦ when your backвЂ™s against the wall you can start to believe that your closest confidante is out to get you. ItвЂ™s really tough when вЂ¦ itвЂ™s kind of like we reap what we sow. Do you think for a second Frank ever believed him? Seth was really gung-ho about blaming Meechum for the leaked photos. I think what the writers did, which was really smart - without having some kind of real, heavy-handed reveal of something about him - they still allowed the character to light up a bit before he fell, which I thought was really done by them. There were a few moments before this season, but yeah, heвЂ™s a serious fellow. 'House of Cards' Binge-Watching Guide: The Best Way to Consume Season 4ДЄudiences have known Meechum to be rather serious, but in this season, we saw him drink and laugh a bit with Frank. From a threesome with the pair to taking a bullet for the president, Meechum has had an undeniable attachment to the Underwoods.

While some characters on the show may think they know the coupleвЂ™s secrets, Meechum may be the only one who really does.

The character has served Frank and first lady Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) both professionally and personally. Luckily for House of Cards fans, show creator Beau Willimon pulled the curtain back on that hidden side of politics by creating Edward Meechum (Nathan Darrow), protector of fictitious president Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey). In the world of tight-lipped, real-life secret-service agents, no one really knows what theyвЂ™re truly thinking.
