Social Media and Behind the Scenes: AKA Everything Else Not "News and Media"

[Sakura12]

All cons have the "Talent is subject to change" clause on the website and when you purchase tickets. Most cancel because of filming and most are last minute. So I don't think it was some huge conspiracy, it happens all the time. Happened to me at almost all the cons I've attended. They want to be there but they can't, their job comes first. 

 

I don't think CL was officially announced as a panelist for SDCC Arrow panel. A fan asked her on her twitter and her response was "Maybe". KC was official though.

Watch Wil Wheaton's steampunk date with John Barrowman in this extended clip from The Wil Wheaton Project

[Sakura12]

Thank you, John Barrowman is having his own panel at the Chicago con, probably because he has enough energy and charisma for 5 people and he wants it on tape. 

 

Cassidy is doing her panel with Michael Jai White at the same time as the Guardians of the Galaxy panel which is the one I'd rather be at so I won't be able to find out if she says anything cringe worthy.

Stephen Amell is having Q& A on twitter right now under the tag #AskAmell 

[catrox14]

Gods, he's hilarious. I love that he says Green Arrow would take out Jack Bauer on Day 1 LOL.

[dtissagirl]

I love it that EBR replied that Felicity will go where the gadgets go. GADGETS >>>>> SUPERHEROES. Truestory.

There's a great behind the scenes video I'm looking for.  It was of some the cast of Arrow singing Summer Nights from Grease in the bathroom. Does anyone have the link?

[Velocity23]

Here you go:

I seriously love you @Velocity23

@ArrowWriters @GothamTVWriters Bruce is 10. Question is can #TheFlash steal #Felicity? He would never confess his love AS A PLOY!

Oooh shots fired lol!

Arrow writers hit back hard

[JayKay]

Am I an asshole for feeling like The 100 writers are basically photobombing the conversation?

[Luckylyn]

It looks like the Sleepy Hallow writers, The Mystery of Laura writers, and even Gail Simone are getting involved.  So much epic fun.

[wingster55]

That's hilarious. 

[calliope1975]

And we have a 50th episode Q&A.

Stephen takes the ice bucket challenge

Can i just say that i love how Karl Yune is interacting with fans!

 

[scarynikki12]

My favorite part is Bats saying "call me!" to Felicity after Oliver has to forcibly drag her away from the shiny gadgets in that illustration. I firmly believe that Selina/Catwoman is his One True Love but I can easily buy Felicity as a viable alternative due to sheer awesomeness.

[Lisin]

This is all just so adorable. I love it! 

[Velocity23]

The official Arrow tumblr account is really on a roll the past days:

So Barrowman accepted the Ice Bucket challenge and nominated, Colton, Misha Collins and David Tennant. 

[MsSchadenfreude]

Hee! John Barrowman is wearing a Deathstroke t-shirt in his challenge.  And he nominated David Tenant…Barrowman for the WIN!

[statsgirl]

I love that there's an almost naked studly guy with his bucket.  So John Barrowman.

That's Barrowman's husband

Colton should do something today, hopefully and people have already start begging him on Twitter to nominate EBR next.

Edited August 17, 2014 by Morrigan2575

[catrox14]

Is it sacrilege to say that I think Barrowman's husband is hotter than Barrowman?  Cause he really kind of is.

John Barrowman kills me.

[Morrigan2575]

That was great the maniac laughter at the end was perfect.

Way to go big, nominating entire casts + Ellen Degenerus.

[poetgirl925]

Hahaha, that is the best one yet! I think they actually weren't expecting that second bucket lol. They should have though because apparently that's pure Barrowman

[JenMD]

I can't even with this cast, they are too adorable, the lot of them.  And yeah, I agree @poetgirl925, I think that second bucket was a surprise.  Heh.

[HighHopes]

It seems like the entire cast is doing the challenge. Katrina Law just posted her video too. 

[Morrigan2575]

I wonder if EBR has to do it again?

[KenyaJ]

Dying at Barrowman in Colton and Emily's video.  Dying.

[statsgirl]

That is a lot of money Colton and Emily have.  Those are hundred dollar bills (Canadian money is coloured).

 

The video of John Barrowman's challenge. He knows what it's like to get hit twice

[Morrigan2575]

I knew it was colored but figured they were 20s...well I knew once I remembered they were in Canada, before that...oh look how funny CH and EBR are they're joking around with monopoly money ..lol

Edited August 18, 2014 by Morrigan2575

[poetgirl925]

John Barrowman is a national treasure lol - probably of multiple countries. I'm sure that's what gave him the idea to hit Colton and Emily twice, heh. So who nominated Emily the first time if Katrina's was the second nomination?

[statsgirl]

The CH/EBR ones seems planned it out, the first part at least.  Colton said that they didn't have enough time to do it, Emily added "or friends to do it", splash, and then Barrowman pops up and  says "That's what friends are for".  It looks like the second one pail was a total surprise.  It does seem like they have a lot of fun on the set.

 

Kudos to  Colton and Emily though. That's the first ALS Ice Bucket Challenge vid I'd seen that emphasized donating to the charity.

I knew it was colored but figured they were 20s...well I knew once I remembered they were in Canada, before that...oh look how funny CH and EBR are they're joking around with monopoly money ..lol

As one of our comics said, we have coloured money because our beer has alcohol.  ... grin.

[TanyaKay]

This is the person who first nominated both Emily and Colton for the challenge

https://twitter.com/Jwowt/status/500531273325371392

 

 

I feel that  EMTON challenge is special for various reasons.

a) They actually donated the money to charity.

b) They did it together.

c) Their videographer is JOHN BARROWMAN

d) and his husband Scott poured water on them.

e) The video was so much fun.

f) They must have raided multiple ATMs to get hold of so many 100 Canadian dollar bills.

g) It has Emily and everything is infinitely better when it has Emily.

[foreverevolving]

 

Their videographer is JOHN BARROWMAN

which is epic enough in itself.

 

I'm just waiting for someone, ANYONE! to nominate George Clooney for it. I know, totally not connected to Arrow but... yea, a soaking wet Clooney is always a good thing in my opinion. and it's for a good cause.

[poetgirl925]

I'd love to see Emily and Colton on the Ellen show. They're a lot of fun. And yes, stressing the donations was a very nice part of their video. I donated too after I watched their video, so they inspired me :)

[ban1o]

did anyone even nominated Emily lol? Or did she just decide to do it with Colton? 

[wonderwall]

Katrina Law nominated Emily I think!

Edited August 18, 2014 by wonderwall

[JenMD]

Yep, here's Katrina's.  I just noticed the #itsfreakingcold. Heh.

Katrina Law nominated Emily I think!

Thanks! I didn't see hers.
