It could mean that they know how poorly Laurel and Katie are received and don't want to risk a less than enthusiastic reception at the signing (which would be really obvious next to the guaranteed love that the others-Amell, Barrowman, Ramsey, and Blackthorne in particular-will get).

I've always felt Laurel's "unpopularity" isn't really that widespread, especially with the non-internet audience. Plus if they didn't want there to be awkwardness, they wouldn't have those three (or just KC) at the panel rather than the signing.

I wonder who they like more, the actress or the character? I never hear about "CL fans" or "EBR fans", just their characters', but it's usually KC fans, not Laurel's).

Sakura12 July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 KC has been acting for awhile (which is why I think she should be better at it) so she has fans from her other work, so her reception at SDCC and her autograph line could be fans from those projects and not just Arrow. I know internet fans are not the whole world, but there had to be an overwhelming amount of dislike of the character if the EP's are aware of it. Social Media wasn't that big in the Smallville days so those EP's may not have been that aware of the Lana hate. Tomorrow we'll find out more about what's happening. I'm also interested in what they are showing in the teaser trailer and if Sara's Canary will be in it.

Sakura12 July 25, 2014 Share July 25, 2014 I couldn't tell who was more popular at the signings at SDCC, you get in line and go across the table for everyone's autograph whether you want theirs or not. At the Supernatural one only Jensen was there because Jared was at another panel during that time, so that could be another reason why KC and EBR are not there. At regular cons you might be able to tell who is more popular. At the one I went to in March Steven Yeun from the Walking Dead had a waiting line to get into his waiting line. Stephen Amell had the larger area out of the 4 of them (David, Manu and Emily) and a pretty big line. When I met her, EBR didn't have a line (granted it was towards the end and most people didn't know she was still there) it worked out for me though, since I actually got to talk to her for awhile. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2872-social-media-and-behind-the-scenes-aka-everything-else-not-news-and-media/page/8/#findComment-229244
