Trisha July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 So it sounds like the ET interview was cancelled because Leanne ran out of time, and there’s no indication that they even did the IGN interview. Link to comment
popgoesculture July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 This is so petty, but I hate those glasses EBR is wearing. Like can't stand them with the fire of a thousand burning suns. (I generally don't like her glasses choices anyway, but these are the worst and totally nonsensical and just make her face look segmented and odd and between this and SA's beard... sigh.) Thank goodness for DR. 4 Link to comment
Angel12d July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 Looking at the pics, I thought most of the cast looked a mess yesterday. Apart from DR but then he always looks good. My man! Link to comment

Soulfire July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 (edited) I may come off sounding ungrateful here, because lord knows the cons seems stressful and who knows if they'd even had anything to eat, but come on guys -- you didn't have that many interviews and, unlike some other shows, only had one day of press. Maybe don't stay out til 5am partying and drinking the night before? Edited July 22, 2018 by Soulfire 22 Link to comment

Canceling because you're tired from a long day talking and being adored and catered to in an air-conditioned building? Eh. 18 Link to comment
Mellowyellow July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 They seem very unprofessional this year. I'm curious as to what is going on. I'm only reading transcripts from @tv echo because their interviews seem to be full of crap. Really curious if the casts from the other shows were also like this. Wonder if they are just really over the show and doing the bare minimal. 2 Link to comment
Chaser July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 I’ll give credit where credit is due. SA, DR, CH, JH and RG all seemed professional to me. My issues were with EK and EBR. Way too much joking around during interviews. 8 Link to comment
insomniadreams88 July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 Maybe it’s just me but I feel like that last bit about OTA was unnecessary because it makes it easier for people to speculate as to who to “blame.” 9 Link to comment
Trisha July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 That sucks. And if she specifically called out OTA, it means one (or two) of EBR, SA, and DR bailed. My first thought would be EBR because SA and DR were the most professional in all the other interviews (out of OTA; I thought JH and RG were also very well behaved) but isn’t she friends with Leanne in real life? I’m glad that they have fun at these things but I wish they would take them a bit more seriously. I’m pretty sure I read a few years ago that actors get paid for their Comic Con appearances on top of their usual fees, so it’s very much a job and not just a chance to hang. The EW interview was probably the best. I’m assuming there is still one coming from TV Line because they are included in that site’s portrait gallery, so they definitely stopped by. I think we’re still waiting on Extra too. 5 Link to comment
Angel12d July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 She should've just carried on and done the interview because they wouldn't have given us anything OTA specific anyway or likely seated them together so what's the point? Honestly, with a couple of exceptions I felt the whole cast was lackluster and had completely forgotten the reason they go to SDCC. They're there to promote their show/new season and I wasn't really getting that. And SA's wife was tagging along and getting her pics professionally taken with people, which would've wasted time. It was just a disaster, IMO. 12 Link to comment
JJ928 July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 It does suck, but I find myself not really caring about missing that interview tbh. So far none of the interviews delivered any real spoilers, or anything to get excited about, so it's one less thing for me to sit through lol. I feel like scheduling was awful this year. IGN was scheduled at 5, which was when their panel was meant to end, which I believe ran over a few minutes. I know that things in SDCC are relatively close by, but scheduling should have been done with more care imo. The other shows got all the big news site out of the way early, before most of their panels and kept some of the smaller ones for after. 9 Link to comment
Primal Slayer July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 To seemingly cancel an interview because you may not have all 3 of OTA there is rude in of itself. 3 Link to comment
Velocity23 July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 Arrow is not the only one. Apparently Supergirl cast also skipped major interviews. Including TV Line, LA Times and i didnt see anything of Supergirl on ET either. Link to comment
Soulfire July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 I'll give Supergirl a pass since, though I can't quote anyone right now, I seem to recall they had something out before SDCC about not doing press. Then Melissa Benoist did some anyway so that seemed more a bonus than anything. Link to comment

Yeah, they could have done the interview without the whole cast, wouldn't be the first time. But I wonder if the fact that Flash panel was also overtime had anything to do with it. If it were me, I'd let my stars off and make the newer cast attend, that way the mains don't have to wait around but the interview is still fulfilled. But if it were me the cast would look 100+ better, have real talking points, and be behaved because I know how to do my job lol. I hate the CW can't wait to be disconnected from it. Link to comment

statsgirl July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 To be petty, SA, DR and CH get my respect. RG was good in interviews but I still hate Rene. EK and EBR should never be allowed to do interviews together because they bring out the worst in each other. Giggling through interviews and not giving any real substantive remarks to journalists is completely unprofessional. JH should get bra fittings because she fiddled with hers through the interviews and that's distracting not in a good way. LOL that Tonya Kong's pic of OTA got 221 likes, and the one of NTA got 7, with two comments about how they aren't liked. I don't know how the writers can keep ignoring how much they aren't liked. 7 hours ago, Soulfire said: Good for him to coming out and answering honestly.

kes0704 July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 (edited) The thing for me with SDCC, and the interviews in general, is that it’s supposed to generate excitement amongst your audience / fanbase after a long hiatus, and in the case of Arrow, a less than satisfying season. If some of the cast don’t really seem to be interested in doing that, then they can’t be surprised if the audience don’t show up after they’ve been given very little or nothing to be curious about seeing. I’m the most disappointed in Emily and Echo at the round table interviews. In one post I saw they didn’t even give the reporters an opportunity to ask a single question. It was just off tangent jokes the entire time. If I was a reporter in that group, I’d be annoyed that they completely wasted my time, because everyone at that table is there to do job, including the actors.

Chaser July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 And he’s directing the crossover episode again. You think he uses the producer credit to get the big episodes? I do. CP knows Oliver is more attractive then Barry. She’s smart. 3 Link to comment
Primal Slayer July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 No, especially considering he was given big episodes before he got a producer credit if memory serves correctly. They most likely use him as much as they do because he is hella lota cheaper then bringing in bigger directors and they try to save as much money as possible for these things. I dont know why they dont bring in a single director for the crossover nowadays. These things are begging to be released in a movie edit after they air and they arent supposed to be "episodes" anymore unless last year was the only time they wanted it to be that way. 6 Link to comment

Can't rule anyone out but since EBR is the youngest and the one with the most energy usually, I'm less likely to think she'd bail unless someone else bailed first. My first thought was actually SA because he brought the significant other that was probably half bored all day. And if you lose the star of the show, I think the interviewer would be that much more inclined not to follow through. Link to comment

thegirlsleuth July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 This isn't specific to Arrow, but it reflects the vibe a lot of people on the Board were picking up on with the Arrow cast. It seems like even the entertainment press--Chris Hayner, Leanne Aguilera, Vlada Gellman, Lauren Galloway--felt like something was off with SDCC this year: Quote Was it the lack of Marvel/Star Wars? Or are people getting tired? 2 Link to comment
tangerine95 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 This SDCC did feel weird in general but I agree I'm not exactly sure why.It definitely could be the lack of the big hype panels like Marvel,SW and GoT.It didn't seem as big this year. 2 Link to comment
