Chaser July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 The other day he tweeted something about being down and needing positive vibes. He has since deleted it. He liked his girlfriends post about change and building something new. Link to comment
strikera0 July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 (edited) Well, I for one wouldn't be opposed to Curtis dying. The character has never worked for me. He's really just a gay and more over the top version of Felicity. That being said, I don't think he's going to die. Nobody of significance (except for Nyssa, maybe) will.

tangerine95 July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 (edited) I would feel bad for EK,he seems nice and like he loves working on the show but I'm really hoping Curtis will be gone,I don't care if they kill him off or make him move offscreen or to a different show.He just doesn't have a purpose on the show,is terrible as a mask and is more annoying than funny.I'm hoping there's a chance he goes sometime this season but EK also talking about being part of the smoak tech storyline so idk. 6 minutes ago, Morrigan2575 said: I get where the vibe is coming from.

Sure but it just seems unlikely to me. The CW is notoriously cheap when it comes to promos. I'm not even sure the fight club was a CW Promo, I thought it was WB? In either case, I'll wait and see. 1 Link to comment
lemotomato July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 I'm not sure the network knew that CH was leaving when they filmed the promo/did the photo shoot. From the EW interview with CH, it sounded like he went through a rough stretch health-wise and decided that he didn't want the pressure of the show on top of dealing with everything else and asked to be let go. 4 Link to comment
Primal Slayer July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 They also had Robbie Amell in the fight club despite not being tied down to a contract. But i don't see them killing off their only full time gay character. Link to comment
wonderwall July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 What would be the most realistic exit for Curtis would be for almost dying/getting blown up to make him quit because he doesn't think he's cut out for it (which he isn't) and then go back to find Paul or whatever... Link to comment

Most realistic exit is he gets hurt and needs time away. I really don't think they're killing him off or even writing him out in 601. I can see them having him leave the show mid or end of season 6. Perhaps going to LoT or even Black Lightning if they "kill" E1 Curtis in crossover and then bring in E? "Michael" Holt/Mr. Terrific. However, i still don't think they're getting rid of Echo/Curtis. 1 Link to comment

calliope1975 July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 Quote Ausiello: You can expect much of the aforementioned villainy, sprinkled with the occasional wish for a turn-around, at least by those who knew her Earth-One doppelgänger. “I don’t know if there’s any question about whether or not the [idea] of redemption will come up; it has to,” co-showrunner Wendy Mericle told TVLine. “Her father is there. Oliver is there. Everyone is going to be asking whether or not it’s possible to find a little piece of Laurel, the Laurel Lance they knew and loved, in there somewhere.” Bolding is mine. I don't get this. Quinton is not BS's father. I don't get why this is such a difficult concept. While EarthX's doppelgangers are interesting to explore, they are not interchangeable. 11 Link to comment
leopardprint July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 (edited) From @apinknightmare's post in the spoiler thread: Quote BONUS SCOOP:Even with Adrian Chase dead, Oliver’s battle to conceal his secret identity is far from over. Rumor has it he will be dogged by a curious FBI agent this season. Will their name be Agent Williamson? I wonder if Susan gave her info to the FBI? 1 MINUTE AGO, CALLIOPE1975 SAID: Bolding is mine. I don't get this. Quinton is not BS's father. I don't get why this is such a difficult concept. While EarthX's doppelgangers are interesting to explore, they are not interchangeable. Me either, she doesn't have a piece of Laurel in her because she isn't that Laurel. It's like expecting identical twins to have identical personalities.

I hated it when they implied Laurel was interchangeable with her E2 self, and I hate the implication that E1 people are interchangeable with other Earths' versions. I mean, them fighting against someone who looks like the person they loved and his clearly not that person is interesting, but they covered that in 10. Dragging it out is ugh. That being said, this is Wendy so it's either complete BS or 75% BS. 13 Link to comment
insomniadreams88 July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 Can they please stop with the "little piece of the Laurel they knew in Black Siren"? She's a completely different person. They're just assuming that at some point, BS could have been like Laurel. I swear, if BS looked like Isabel, this wouldn't even be a question. (Then again, imagine if E2 Isabel is actually this really sweet woman who does charity work in all her free time. Would they be wondering if part of her is really evil?) Also, stop with the "badass" already. Get a new word. 9 Link to comment
lemotomato July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 All I got from the WM quote is that is that BS is a villain and is going to stay that way. 9 Link to comment
LeighAn July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 Yeah I'm not reading anything into what Wendy says as nothing she's says ever plays on screen the way she said it. And even then it wasn't a glowing endorsement for Black Siren redemption- they keep saying how much they prefer and love villain Katie. Im calling that she's either big bads minion which seems all she's good for or she's one of those in the running for Richard Dragons bounty. Maybe with the occasional siding with Team Arrow when it suits her own agenda. But that'll only take up like one or two minutes of screen time cause that's all they can bother writing her. 1 Link to comment
tangerine95 July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 (edited) It's WM talking so whatever she says could literally happen in the opposite way or not happen at all lol.But sounds to me like BS is staying a villain but just to justify why they don't get rid of her they'll maybe have people occasionally wonder if she could be redeemed.I still think if she gets redeemed she gets sent back to E2. The FBI agent thing sounds exactly like what Susan was supposed to do.Makes me think her storyline of actually doing something other than being a LI was dropped and they're going to do it in a different way in season 6.

The only acceptable way for Susan to come back is so Oliver can be wrong in his wrongness otherwise I'm fine with her never appearing again. It would be very strange if the show called "do over" and started this storyline over again except with an FBI agent this time? Perhaps the PI spilled so Susie Star Reporter's pristine reputation as a "good person" and "good reporter" isn't sullied. Do we think her absence at all of the press conferences will be explained or will she never be mentioned again? Edited July 12, 2017 by leopardprint 1 Link to comment

Cleanqueen July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 They should just call up the flash team and they'll confirm for them that E2 doppelgangers have no connection to their earth 1 counterparts. That concept was never even brought up on the flash if I remember correctly. Arrow is literally exploring it because they have nothing substantial to offer BS. She's just a wack villain and normally wack villains don't stay past thier 1-2 episode limit per season. Had BS been any other actor, we would not be having this conversation. 14 Link to comment

I see all this talk about Saint Laurel is not gonna end anytime soon with BS around. I swear they're gonna start praying in front of her costume in its weird glass case, asking, "What would Saint Laurel do?" Haha. And can we please stop acting like BS and Laurel are the same person? They're not. They're from two different worlds. The end. Stop with this interchangeable women mess. I can't stand it. I find it as gross as the sister swapping crap. *Shudders* Also, I wonder what exactly happens to bring in the FBI. Edited July 12, 2017 by Guest Link to comment

Primal Slayer July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 While they are definitely two different people who had different experiences, they would share some similarities as we've seen with other E2 characters. I think in the end it is less about finding E1 Laurel in E2 Laurel and just a general "can this person be saved". Her being a doppelganger just gives them more motivation to do so. 6 minutes ago, Cleanqueen said: They should just call up the flash team and they'll confirm for them that E2 doppelgangers have no connection to their earth 1 counterparts.

That's always how it's going to be. If we had E2 Thea or any main character they would be doing the same thing. I would say The Flash showed that the E2 dopplegangers had certain connections. Barry/Iris and Caitlin/Ronnie were together in both worlds, both Barrys had the same job both Killer Frosts were similar, shared similar experiences with their mothers and Barrys first interaction with E2 KF was immediately to do the same thing Oliver and co. are doing with Siren "I know you, this isn't you" Link to comment
