Stephen Amell, Oliver Queen aka The Arrow himself, has previously responded to a Harley Quinn question on Facebook: Story here. Amell, who has been proud of how Arrow Season 2 focused on several tough and proud female DC Comics characters, would like to have Harley Quinn again in Season 3.
Show boss Marc Guggenheim, however, had earlier told Collider he "did not expect people to lose their minds the way they did" after catching their "Easter Egg." Still, fans are hoping the show bosses would have Harley Quinn again in Arrow Season 3. His fellow show boss Andrew Kreisberg, after all, anticipated the fans' excitement.

"The fans' reaction has been beyond my wildest dreams. Wow. I have wept reading some of the comments and messages I have received. Never in my life have I felt such kindness, and friendship. Thank you all so much. From the bottom of my heart, I absolutely adore you."
Michael Rowe, who plays DC Comics' Deadshot on Arrow Seasons 1 and 2, posted this photo on Instagram, confirming - when only rumours were swirling at the time - that Cassidy Alexa was the girl in pigtails in Arrow 2x16: "Suicide Squad."
Cassidy Alexa won the role of Harley Quinn, many fans on Twitter are convinced. Below is a petition calling for her return to the superhero series.
