Yeah, Thea would have had to go through Susan's articles, write articles plagiarizing her, and hack into online publications to put up those plagiarized articles there -- backdated to before Susan did any of her reporting. So in this scenario Thea is a writer and a hacker too. OR she hired writers to do the job [and a hacker who isn't Felicity], and paid them off to confirm the plagiarism claim when Susan's employers investigated.
I'm assuming nobody in the writers room thought this through at all, though.-

I think the actor tweeted that he was coming back.
I went back through his account and all I can find is him retweeting an article that wanted Human Target to be recurring. https://mobile.twitter.com/WilTraval/status/794818767360397312
Nothing about him coming back. He was filming Grimm in Dec and Jan, then filmed an indie movie from late Jan til last week. So if he's coming back to Arrow, it looks like he hasn't been back on set yet.

1 hour ago, tv echo said:Susan Williams is like this season's Samantha Clayton. We're supposed to believe, I think, that she's a good, caring person who's good at her job (journalist/mother), but instead she's coming across to the audience as someone deceitful and manipulative.
It blows my mind that this keeps happening to so many characters on this show over the years. At some point a writers room has to figure out HOW to make characters come across the way they mean them to be. Other shows get over this all the freaking time -- some character is not getting across for whatever reason, they either adjust the character or write them off. AND YET. After the Laurels and the Malcolms, there come the Wild Dongs and the Susans of Arrow. Every season, with the cognitive dissonance. It's cray.

Yikes. I thought they had 2 more episodes in .6 land.

If Oliver is impeached Lance gets his job, right?

I kind of love that the dialogue tease is seemingly about guns after last week's episode. Stay your special self, Show!
Maybe Oliver's brain tumor that's making him go dumber is contagious.

I think they will get seven seasons. Season seven might be shortened, depending on how much the ratings fall over the next season, but I think they will get at least seven seasons.
I think it might be too early to link live ratings to a S7, because the new Netflix deal hasn't affected Arrow yet. What happens when S5 hits the platform -- now only 8 days after the finale -- might be the most defining thing re: how long will the WB be willing to keep Arrow alive.

But yeah, she's either is just horrible at her job or she has a bit of a bias against Felicity.
I'm thinking both.

But she had whole episodes dedicated to her becoming Black Canary? Episodes where Felicity and Oliver weren't even together (and where the group thought Oliver was dead!), LOL.
What I got from this guy is Laurel's ~rise to Black Canary~ meant nothing because she wasn't Oliver's love interest when it happened? LOL.

I'm sticking with my theory that this season ends with a giant, frustrating flash-forward. They really think the "who's in the grave" stuff was so clever.
I think you're on to something.

It's weird though, I always thought Abrams was pretty loyal to Laurel. Guess she's just loyal to any old BC!
Well, she asked him about Black Siren and his answer was basically a very polite "hahaha lolno".

Lol, yeah, if I had to pick one right now, it'd be Stiles and Lydia. They fanserviced me hardcore this season.

And i agree,it can easily happen again which is why saying Emily is the female lead doesnt mean much considering that the show has done this switch again in the past.
Nope, my point is it was EXTREMELY COMPLICATED to change female leads once, and I think it's unlikely it'll happen again.

So help me understand here. You are saying that the female lead role changes just like that. I assume then,if by any chance ,another female character gets more focus and screentime than Felicity next season,then she will cease to be the female lead(just like how you claim Emily became the female lead in season 3). Because that's what you suggest. Which means implying that Emily cant leave the show or that the show cant go on without her because she is the female lead is not really an argument to make. Especially if the show can easily replace her with a new female lead much like how it replaced Katie as one. Correct?
The main female role on Arrow changed from Laurel to Felicity. That started happening in episode 201, and it was a process that took the entire second season. By S3, Felicity was the main female character on the show. Behind the scenes, it took awhile longer for them to untangle themselves from the KC mess, but with time, the lead actress also changed from KC to EBR, regardless of billing [KC got pay cuts, EBR got raises, billing remained the same].
But it wasn't in ANY way easy. It took them A LOT of behind the scenes work, and even more work in the narrative, from 103 to 301 [that's forty five episodes. Two and a half years of production], to make it look like they weren't switching leads there.
But also, yeah, if next season they suddenly decide to reduce EBR/Felicity's presence on the show significantly, and then promote some other actress to main female role, then yes, that other actress would be the show's lead. That is what everyone is terrified of re: the new chick, because it happened once, and folks are afraid it'll happen again.-

My point in a reply to another poster was regarding her not returning when contract is up(rumoured after season 6).
The rumor I've seen is her contract ends at the end of S7, same as SA's. So her re-uping her contract or not becomes a lot less important than will there be a show then or not.

Yes thats my point. Maybe she ,as an actress,wants bigger roles. The quality but very small role on Brooklin shows she is looking for roles. We dont know if she wants to book bigger roles and we know that being a regualr on a 23 episode show doesnt allow much time to do that. Im just saying,its not something strange to see nowadays with young actors in shows that go on for many years.
What we see lately is what happened to Dylan O'Brien and Chris Pratt -- they booked immense movie franchises, AND THEY STILL HAD TO GO BACK AND FINISH THEIR TV CONTRACTS. And those tv productions will bend over backwards to schedule an actor with a ginormous movie gig, because they know that having an actor ~making it big~ in Hollywood makes the show looks good.
IF EBR gets a ginormous movie role during Arrow, I bet Berlanti Prod will bend over backwards to keep her around the same way.-

I guess it depends on what an actor is looking for. A steady paycheck or to try new things? There have been cases of actors who wanted out of their contracts to pursue a career on the big screen, for example. A young actor that works on cw might want to try and book some quality roles after some time instead of spending years on the same role.
But EBR is already booking quality roles without having to quit Arrow? Brooklin got Oscar noms and everything? And she seems to like indie projects too, and she seems to have the right friends to do those projects with, also during hiatus because said friends also have regular gigs on TV, like Aisha Tyler. I figure she's going in the right direction without having to quit a steady pay job and a RILLY GOOD relationship with Warner Bros. Because THAT is the most important thing here -- to cultivate a good relationship with the studio. Everything else falls behind that one.

I think there's also a past lie vs. present lie factor going in. Felicity's very practical. There wasn't really anything she could do to change the past. She could've been mad at Donna, sure, but there was nothing Felicity could do that would change anything. Oliver lied about something that would have affected Felicity's future, and that she could change. Which she did by breaking up with him.
The part that bugged me was that Donna told Noah to scram again, behind Felicity's back again, and the story completely forgot about that, and I'm pretty sure the writers don't even remember Felicity has parents anymore.-

I honestly don't know where people get this idea that actors want out of their contracts for ~creative reasons~ [like being unhappy with storylines. WHAT]. It's a secure job that pays pretty well in an insanely competitive market. Like, take a look at KC, she obviously wasn't happy with most of the things they gave her to do on the show, and yet all she wanted to was to stick around. THAT IS THE NORM.

Agreed. Felicity was the classiest of all acts ever re: the baby mama drama. Hell, she was saintly. I would have burned a dude's entire life down to the ground and then given him a vasectomy with my own bare hands if I were engaged to the guy and he hid a kid from me.

My main reaction to Mrs Dog was going OMG SAMARIE ARMSTRONG, WHERE YOU BEEN, GIRL?
Because the last thing I remembered her on was [Berlanti's] Dirty Sexy Money. And finding out her last regular gig was working for Guggenheim's wife on Resurrection. Hollywood is a teeny tiny town.

He wrote 2 episodes of Berlanti's Political Animals, then he got staffed into Arrow in S4.

why Stephen thinks it's okay to phone in his performances when he doesn't like something
If SA is phoning in the stuff he doesn't like? The last 3 episodes we saw were directed by noob directors. In the next 10 episodes, there are another 5 or so noobs coming in. And a couple of name directors who are first timers on this set. And... The actor/performance part of directing on a five year show is down to minor adjustments. The directors assume the actors know their characters inside and out, and someone who would like to be called back to that set will definitely not go to the star of the show and tell him he's sleeping on the job.
LOL.

Heartaches, Bromances, True Love and Team Arrow: the Relationships Thread
in Arrow
So, if Malcolm and DD hadn't kidnapped the kid, and Felicity married Oliver, would it be all right if he just kept his son secret from her forever? What if Baby Mama sued for alimony, what would happen then? Because at that point by law, Felicity would have to pay it, since Oliver had no income whatsoever last season. How is all of that not directly affecting Felicity?
