David Ramsey, who plays Dig, dishes his thoughts on the Arrow Season 2 premiere.
"The end of last season affected everybody... Everyone in these first few episodes -- particularly Oliver but also Laurel very seriously -- are reeling from that," Ramsey was quoted as saying by comicbookresources.com.
Stephen Amell, Oliver Queen himself, is particularly excited by the fact that writers are now prepared to tackle 23 episodes for Arrow Season 2. In the first season, the preparation was only for 13 episodes because it was unclear whether the show would get a second season. (It did, and how!)
"When you shoot almost ten episodes before anyone even sees the show, what people see and react to becomes a critical instrument in the series. This year, the writers can write for 23 episodes, and they have a plan. Not that there wasn't a plan before, but they were telling me the island stuff, and wow!" Amell teased.
