This looks kinda cool :) I can't wait to see it! And a completely different role for Emily so good for her!

Regarding the sidekick preview. Is it safe to assume that

Spoiler

the superhero stuff is fantasy that the boy dreams up to deal with his father's pending death?

That's both really sweet and really heartbreaking.

Suddenly the lack of Allison Mack promotion on that show makes sooooo much sense.  Curse you Chico!

Also, I don't think there was any ill-intent from the people who "tried to be in the spotlight". They must have been genuinely excited - fame hungry or not - and just jumped in because there wasn't any kind of orderly planning. Or maybe it's the optimist in me speaking, for having lived in LA and worked in the business for quite some time, I should know better but eh! Can't blame a girl for trying. 

Ultimately, I think it all boils down to bad organisation, to being one big family of the CW/DC super universe, and even worse to a lack of understanding of the audience, because as much as the party is for the industry, without an audience there isn't much of a show. 

 

I don't think there was any ill intent on any of the actor's part either.  I'm sure they behaved in a way that they were encouraged to do at least in as much as no one was there to encourage or suggest anything differently. And specifically CL, I think she sees Arrow as just as much as her home as LoT (perhaps more so since she probably has still done more episodes on Arrow than LoT) And that's fine.  

I think what bothers me so much about the lack of organization is that it seems to go along with the message that I feel has been getting sent since the end of last season, that no part of Arrow that I thought was extra special or really important is seen that way anymore by the show runners because otherwise, they would have made a point of making those core cast shots happen.    

It just is one more thing to reinforce what feels like a not so subtle on-going message of "You are not the fans that we want."

So I think MSN used EBR's photo to promote "21 Seriously Creative DIY Halloween Costume Ideas from Instagram"

http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/fashion/21-seriously-creative-diy-halloween-costume-ideas-from-instagram/ss-BBx8NGy?li=AAeKimm&ocid=mailsignout#image=1

She was image #1, as a Snapchat Filter. Sorry, can't get the image to copy... limited abilities on my work computer.

And TVline is using the EBR photo in their reporting of Whose line's renewal. http://tvline.com/2016/10/24/whose-line-is-it-anyway-renewed-season-5-the-cw/

Its EBR everywhere.

That doesn't look like EBR to me o.O

[TwistedandBored]

Yeah. I with @looptab. The Snapchat filter one doesn't look like EBR to me. 

[tv echo]

I think it looks like EBR...

[apinknightmare]

The only resemblance I see is the hair.

When I first saw it I thought it was EBR and there is a resemblance but the nose doesn't seem quite right.  Honestly, I could be convinced either way.

Spelling matters

[apinknightmare]

I'm surprised anyone thinks that's EBR, haha. 

[BkWurm1]

Well it is a filter turning the person into a Unicorn, lol.  One of the things going against it being EBR is I don't recognize the top from any previously seen pictures.  

[Delphi]

Higher quality image.  

Originally from this Instagram.  I think. 

Edited October 25, 2016 by Delphi

[Chaser]

I see the slight resemblance but that's not her. If you want proof look at her eyes, they're brown. EBR has blue eyes.

[Delphi]

Yeah,I think its the hair and multiple earings throwing people. 

[Cleanqueen]

She really does look like Emily, esp around the eyes but she has brown eyes instead of Blue thats how I knew it wasn't Emily.

[dtissagirl]

We really need some actual real news.

[Carrie Ann]

Oh, I don't know. After this weekend, I'm kind of glad for a break from Arrow social media posts. ;)

[Velocity23]

[Chaser]

That's the kind of social media post I like :-)

[Chaser]

I didn't realize the photographer was Kevin Alejandro's wife.

[kismet]

For me I thought the previous unicorn photo was EBR because of the

• Hair, which looks about rhe length & coloring of last summer when it was damaged looking from over styling
• the shirt, which looks familiar
• the unicorn theme, which I think is her thing.
• the eyebrows & overall face
• the mood of the photo/idea which was quirky.

I honestly couldn't tell her eye color because of the squinting.

It was also the middle of a 14hr crappy night shift in which I was looking for anything entertaining online. Oh well, didnt mean to cause any issues or offense. Was just trying to be a little lighthearted with a photo that reminded me a lot of EBR. Who I still think looks a little like her. And they did use other rando celeb shots, so I thougt just maybe ~ It seemed like a quirky EBR shot.

All seemed reasonable to me.  Also, trying to figure it out was a good time filler.

Seems like Em, David and Echo were caught by Stephen while they slept.

I hope the nastiness was limited to subtweeting and not sent directly to her, but I can see where seeing her being front and center in every pic rubbed people the wrong way.  Imagine if it had been KC doing it - would anyone defend her? I like CL, but those pics annoyed me, too. 

To be fair to Caity, given that the Arrow fans love for her got her her own show, I think she thinks she's pretty important to Arrow fans. So we only have ourselves to blame, really.

If anybody from the flarrow cast deserved to have a place there, was Grant, but he respectfully chose to stay in the background. 

Don't know about deserving, but it was decent of GG to be low key. 

[Chaser]

Colton looks like he sells car insurance to the mafia.

Sara's the reason I fell in love with Arrow. So she's an important part of that show for me.

Amen. Many Arrow fans feel the same way. 

[Sunshine]

Count me as one who doesn't feel that way about Sara.  

[Primal Slayer]

Caity was just happy go lucky that night. She wanted to kiss her girls, over and over and over again.

[Chaser]

I like Sara. I just like her more away from Arrow.

I like CL for the most part. 

[Velocity23]

None of those girls are part of the current cast anymore ... Hmmm. Not really celebratory then to not include the current 2 female main cast members in her kissing spree.

I was just about to say time travel is real because I swear this thread had this exact conversation the other day! Wow.

Yeah. There's no point.

Well at least it fixed the part where everything turned into a round about argument.

I loved Roy, but seeing these pictures make me realize what i really miss is the EBR/CH social media brilliance.  

[Delphi]

I loved Roy so much.   But not even in relation to Thea or Ollie.   I loved him.   As a person and also because of Colton's and Emily's friendship. And I think as a result Roy and Felicity's relationship.  Btw just my opinion, Colton could be in whatever pic he wants , he's not on the show anymore but damn if he wasn't a huge part of it. 

I'm also mad that his pants ripped because I think his suit must have been dapper as fuck and also fitting in that green.

Is that why he wore the coat everywhere?? He ripped his pants? I didn't realize. Lol poor Colton.

Yeah they ripped as he was walking the green carpet with Emily.   Hence her smiling and his out of focus grimace grin of "why me?"

[kismet]

Well that explains the constant coat. I thought he was just making some weird fashion statement. It was a nice coat, but ...

[EmilyBettFan]

What the heck happened with Stephen's Twitter?

I think it's that he's gone private. Only his followers can see his tweets now. He's got 1.58m though, so I'm sure we'll be informed if he says something stupid again.

Oh i shouldn't laugh because that's so embarrassing but, at the same time it's amusing.  We've all been there at one time or another.

Such a drama queen, LOL. Was something  happening or he decided out of the blue?

My friend thinks he was hacked. i have no  idea, i don't follow this stuff
