2. When asked about Vigilante, Wendy Mericle said, "He’ll definitely come back. We left that dangling deliberately in season five knowing that we would bring that character back in season 6. He’ll have a really cool story line, not just in respect to the city, but also with respect to a particular member of the team. We’re intrigued and we’re kind of going through the casting process right now. We’re very excited about it."

1. Arrow's David Ramsey previews Diggle's turn as Green Arrow (Date: 25 Oct 2017)
2. How will Diggle handle now being the leader of Team Arrow? EW sat down with Ramsey on set to get the scoop. When asked if Diggle's stint as Green Arrow will last, Ramsey replied, "No. No, it’s Green Arrow. Stephen Amell is Green Arrow. It’s not going to last. Of course not, but I think it’s very interesting and it’s an interesting twist on how it fits into the ultimate theme of the season, I think it’s very clever. I think it’s an interesting detour. It also gives us some time with Oliver. I think it’s great, and he has some great writing. Stuff is happening between him and Deathstroke, and he and his son and he and Felicity. It’s awesome. I think holding it for the few episodes I have the mantle, that’s the appropriate amount of time."

FEEDBACK

Email from David H: I love listening to your podcasts. You guys are fun to listen to and your commentary on Arrow is a great supplement to the show. I liked the connection SP made over the summer between Legends and Timeless (I also loved that show). I’m loving this season of Arrow. Have you guys noticed how the relationship has evolved between Oliver and Quentin? I feel like he has become like a second father to Oliver. It’s amazing how it’s changed from antagonistic in season 1 to like family in season 5/6. Its kind of sad in a way because I feel like they are going to kill him off.

Also I wanted to share this image of the Cincinnati museum center. If you go back to the crossover from last year and see the Hall of Justice, you can see that the attached image looks very familiar. I’m from Cincinnati and the museum center was the inspiration for the original hall of justice.
