Outside of Very Special Episodes, they're still getting more screen time than the newbies for the most part. They actually dialed back on Rene and, Dinah never got much after her 511 appearance. In return they've increased Diggle's screentime he went from 5 to 4 (ahead of Curtis) and will probably end the season back in his #3 spot (ahead of WD). Dinah is avg 2.80 minutes per episode, Thea = 4.52 Curtis = 7.09 Diggle = 7.11 Wild Dog = 7.28 Felicity = 9.38 6 Link to comment

LeighAn April 13, 2017 Share April 13, 2017 According to what Marc told Jbuffy 5x20 is suppose to be a big OTA episode as well as Olicity episode. 1 Link to comment

statsgirl April 13, 2017 Share April 13, 2017 Now that Oliver is all grown up, he doesn't need Diggle any more as a mentor. But surely by know they must know that OTA is the core of the show and getting rid of Diggle is going to affect their already low ratings. I like what they have done with Thea in the mayor's office this season but I'd still like to see more of her. If we're stuck with Dinah, she should replace Rene or Curtis in the field. 2 hours ago, leopardprint said: Would you rather him call people Hoss or Felicity "Blondie", cause I think those are our options. I don't like Hoss, but I loathe Blondie, especially since she's told him more than once to stop it. 1 hour ago, Belinea said: Considering that Felicity managed to knock her out and everyone else managed to get her captured in no time, I'd have a hard time buying her to be some sort of upper villain. She was used as a villain of the week on the Flash and even on Arrow she was used in that manner. However you can say that she might be able to manipulate the team emotionally. But then again, how long before that gets old? How many season are the originals signed for? S6 or S7? It already got old in that one episode, and even Oliver is no longer manipulated by her. It really makes me think that when they wrote the episode, they had no intention of having BS back as a regular next season. SA and EBR are signed for S7. I don't know about anyone else. 1 Link to comment
JJ928 April 13, 2017 Share April 13, 2017 MG said on tumblr that they have a cool story planned for Diggle in season 6. But even if he didn't, I still feel like Diggle and Felicity are the two that are safest. 7 Link to comment

Cleanqueen April 13, 2017 Share April 13, 2017 OTA will always be the core of the show...and I think they'll all serve leadership roles for the recruits next season. I don't worry about their screen time, I think we might actually get more meaningful scenes now that we don't have to worry about Flashbacks and they can focus on creating and establishing relationships. I am not worried about Diggle and Lyla, I am sure Audrey is still sticking around. 1 Link to comment
DeadZeus April 13, 2017 Share April 13, 2017 (edited) Bleh, i Always hoped for less masks on the field to focus more on stylish Oliver action scenes where he can take out multiple ppl alone like in the earlier seasons. With teammembers like Wild Dog it's pretty weird to see Oliver fighting his ass off and then you see Wild Dogs shoot ppl with minimal effort lol. But Wild Dog has grown on me, he's not as in your face as he was earlier in the season and finally stopped disobeying Oliver at every turn. My complaint is mostly for action scenes. Usually the team handles the grunts while Oliver handles the episode's big bad one on one... So we see way less of him clearing rooms of bad guys by himself. Though it did happen a few times this season! However i'm still waiting for a scene that rivals the Hallway scene from season 1... Edited April 13, 2017 by DeadZeus Link to comment

If all he was doing was VO he'd be in LA, not Vancouver. As dumb as this has gotten, MB (for whatever reason) is trying to keep this a "surprise" even though the cat is out of the bag and dancing around the room.

I mean, I don't care all that much but I cannot wrap my head around the fact that these grown men are pretend-fighting on twitter. SA and Stardust did the same routine leading up to SA's wrestling match. Heck, it even got a huge write-up in TV Guide, not only covering MBs return but, the whole Twitter routine. They might consider this great free press. Although I'm honestly not 100% sure that's what they are doing. Something about CGs tweet (about Manu turning his head and covering his face with his iPad), makes me think Manu is desperately trying to make this a surprise appearance and, is using Twitter as a distraction/disinformation campaign. 2 Link to comment

way2interested April 13, 2017 Share April 13, 2017 To be fair, Arrow's descriptions have always been the shortest/vaguest among all of the DC shows. I was honestly surprised they got pretty point blank specific and said that Oliver and Felicity were trapped in the bunker. 2 Link to comment

Cleanqueen April 14, 2017 Share April 14, 2017 I think there might not be a present day kiss in 5x20, but marc said the events of 5x20 lead to 5x22/5x23 so I think the kiss happens in those episodes. I am inclined to think theyll be back by 5x22 but then she gets kidnapped and perhaps 5x23 is when they kiss towards the end. 1 Link to comment
Mellowyellow April 14, 2017 Share April 14, 2017 Maybe a confused kiss? What are the odds we'd get one soonish and one in the finale? So then is it not EBR in the party dress?

I don't want to have to wait until the premiere to know their relationship status. Link to comment
