We do?

There are videos of them sharing a workout and SA basically using EBR as an extra weight.  Impressive stuff on both side.  

Here's one of them.  

[BkWurm1]

This compilation has some more EBR and SA but I'm actually posting it because it has a number of other castmates I've never seen videos of including PB talking about his saggy English butt.

People were talking about Emily and Stephen's wife working out together..not Emily and Stephen..

[BkWurm1]

Oops!  Well I totally misunderstood that.   I was confused how everyone had just managed to forget, lol.  

Still, finding the saggy butt comment from PB was worth it.

Yeah, this. I remember SA and EBR working out together. This was new to me.

After Stephen said he got angry phone calls about spilling about the wedding I don't think we are going to get much more wedding talk :(

[Sunshine]

I thought Stephen got angry phone calls about revealing Slade Wilson would be in S6.  They planned to announce it at SDCC.

I am not as concerned about the hair as I am about those brows. It looks like someone with a REALLY shaky hand overfilled them.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Right before wondering if they'll have a Halloween episode this year.

I wonder if she's just getting them tinted or something, and went to the rehearsal with the tint still on for whatever reason? 

[Morrigan2575]

Never would have noticed the brows until you guys mentioned them.  My first thought was, does her hair look darker?

She can go as Morgana Macawber.

[Midnight Lullaby]

I didn't even recognize her as first..? I think the filter is dark because her eyes are lighter usually if I remember correctly.

JH's hair seems to be everchanging. She used to be full-on blonde with dark roots early in the season, but lately, her hair has started to resemble her look from last year with the blonde highlights and very light hair ends.

I didn't recognize her at first either.  Until I scrolled down and read the name I was like "wait who is that? What show is this?" Lol.

No, I didn't notice them either, although now that they've been pointed out, I can't not see them.

I swear it's like that in most of her posts.  Remember last year when she looked like KC?  That freaked me out.

Nope it was about the wedding. When Emily teased something about Olicity getting married in one of the group interviews, Stephen told her to be prepared for an angry phone call on Monday because he got one for revealing too much.

I can't find the quote right now but I'm pretty sure he said Slade is the thing he got a call about. Given that it was so talked about at SDCC, I think the wedding was an approved spoiler.

Then why would he tell Emily to expect a phone call after she did the two truth one lie game about Olicity being married? 

 

I mean hey if the wedding is an approved spoiler I hope we do hear more but my impression from SDCC is the only approved spoiler was "we might be dead we might not be but isn't it cool Olivers going to be a dad?" 

[wonderwall]

Just now, LeighAn said:

I'm pretty sure he said in an interview or something it was the Slade thing.

Maybe the reason he told Emily to expect a phone call was because talking about the wedding in general is spoilerish and was a big fat no on the list of things they could opine on. 

Or Maybe he got in trouble in two different occasions.

Maybe he was teasing her? As far as I know though the only thing he mentioned getting in trouble over was the Slade thing. 

I always figured he was given the okay to mention the wedding to get a little buzz going and give reporters a softball subject to ask about since they weren't going to outright give much commentary on the new season. 

[SmallScreenDiva]

The official Arrow account greeting Echo:

For comparison, here's the post they RT'd to greet Emily. They suck.

[Primal Slayer]

Maybe if Echo had a cool toon dedicated to him on his bday they'd retweet that to.

[apinknightmare]

Or they could go out of their way to make birthday gifs for all the cast members, either or!

[SmallScreenDiva]

I think I'd prefer them to make some effort and not just ride on a fan's creation, since they clearly can make an effort when they want to. They suck.

[lemotomato]

The show account never posted a Happy Birthday to Stephen either. Just RTed other people's tweets wishing him a happy birthday. They suck.

[Guest]

This is why people think there's some kind of bias going on because the Arrow account never does things equally. The stuff they RT definitely favors certain actors, IMO. Wouldn't be an issue if they did the same for everyone. IDGI.

[TrueMyth]

As a fan, I hate that we don't see more new media content with SA or EBR, but both are on record as avoiding photo shoots for different reasons.  SA doesn't like them; EBR avoids negative backlash.  Of course that doesn't stop them from making some kind of original graphic like it is their job or something...

[Cleanqueen]

Not really an effort, I think they just found a gif of him with balloons. The writers are usually the ones who acknowledge the actors birthdays and they didnt acknowledge Echo's which i found weird. At least someone gave him a tweet since he didnt get a lot of them. I dont think it's any bias, they just suck at their job since we know they actually used to put an effort in wishing all their cast a HBD.

[Velocity23]

Isnt that  from the new photoshoot?

[Morrigan2575]

who is J. Burns?

[tv echo]

James Burns' Dragon Con bio describes him as "a television graphic designer, comic book creator, and illustrator who lives in Athens, Georgia. " I have no idea what his relationship is to Arrow (if any) or why he's listed as the panelist for that panel.

Edited August 30, 2017 by tv echo

[Morrigan2575]

Never heard of him.  Thanks!

[insomniadreams88]

Could he be the moderator of the panel? 

[lemotomato]

At past DragonCons there were "fan panels" for shows where it was just fans, no actors/show-related people present. Maybe J. Burns is the nominal moderator?

Good point, I remember going to a couple of fan panels at Dragon*Con (for Angel)

[tv echo]

Regarding the discussion upthread about what SA got in trouble for spoiling, I'm going to reply in the Spoiler Discussion thread.

[bijoux]

Who is A. Sagers? They're on the Sunday morning Arrow panel. Man, WH is there for the whole four days. Alex Kingston is such an odd addition in that first Arrow panel, literally not sharing a scene with any of the other participants.

[tv echo]

SA has set up a "Help for Houston" crowdrise page (posted yesterday)...

ETA: You can find short bios for all Dragon Con guests here.
