'Arrow' Season 3 Spoilers: Laurel As Black Canary, Roy Harper As Arrow Sidekick
"Arrow" Season 3 is just around the corner and fans cannot wait to know what's going to happen. Katie Cassidy, who plays Laurel Lance in "Arrow" and Colton Haynes as Roy Harper, indulged fans' curiosity by hinting spoilers for "Arrow" Season 3.
According to Ecumenical, the Season 2 finale of "Arrow" ended with Black Canary Sara Lance hanging her mask, and handing her black leather jacket to her sister Laurel (Katie Cassidy) so she can join the League of Assassins. Meanwhile Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) was seen wearing his red attire and acting as Oliver's sidekick by the end of the season. These scenes alone already hint spoilers that Laurel and Roy will get a much-increased involvement in the Season 3 of "Arrow."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Laurel Lance actress Katie Cassidy hinted spoilers that Laurel will be taking over the mantle of "The Black Canary" in the Season 3 of "Arrow."
"Obviously, getting involved in Team Arrow and taking her through this alter ego, if she does. I mean the jacket fits, but I'm not the writers. But I think I'm excited for her to fight, kick some ass," Cassidy said.
Cassidy also hinted spoilers on a possible Laurel and Oliver reconciliation on "Arrow" Season 3. Laurel Lance loved Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) even more after she learned that he's the Arrow. Cassidy said that it makes sense if Laurel and Oliver are together since in the comics, Canary and Arrow are also together; again a spoiler at the possibility of Laurel becoming the Black Canary. "We'll see though. You never know what the writers are going to write," Cassidy added.
Katie Cassidy is not the only cast who willingly dished out spoilers for the Season 3 of "Arrow." Colton Haynes, who plays Roy Harper, also spoke to Entertainment Weekly. Haynes hinted spoilers that Roy will finally be inducted into Team Arrow and become Oliver's sidekick.
"He's still working towards it, but you are going to see something in the premiere of season three that's going to up his status a little bit," Haynes said.
In the Season 2 finale of "Arrow," Thea Queen (Willa Holland) turned her back on Roy Harper to be with her real father, John Barrowman's Dark Archer, Malcolm Merlyn. Roy will have to move on but not without experiencing some emotional struggles, as Haynes explained.
"Roy's like an emotional wreck. I think that in the future, Roy is just going to go down, now he's a hero so it's almost a heroic path, but I think he's going to go down a path of lies."
"Arrow" Season 3 will premiere in Fall 2014 and fans will likely see an expanded role for the Dark Archer, Oliver Queen's arch-nemesis.
