Don't know their source, but spoilertv just posted it this morning

Makes me think. Michael Emerson tweets about going up to Vancouver, Alana Actress tweets during SDCC that she's coming back to Arrow AND the 603 title is Next of Kin.

Caden James is Alana's dad (as speculated), something bad happens to Alana and James is now gunning for Felicity/Team Arrow

I'm sure it also ties to the plot, but often episode titles have multiple meanings within the episode, so I can't rule anything out yet.   

I'm thinking there will be Oliver/Myson, Rene/Zoe, Diggle/NotSara or possibly Lance/Siren or Slade/Yourson plot points/mentions? Maybe something Merlyn/Thea related? So. Many. Fathers. So. Many. Deceased. Mothers. Nothing better happen to Lyla, I will get my pitchforks ready.

I like this. Check to see if Alana Actress is following ME on SM. LOL The very scientific approach.

I can't believe its the week after SDCC, the cast is back shooting and this board is so slow. I need some spoilers.

Willa has Comic Con Honolulu this weekend. Maybe she'll give us a clue as to Thea's fate.

We're also still waiting for casting news on Richard Dragon. (I've been assuming that Michael Emerson will be playing Cayden James.)

It's like the Disney dead mothers syndrome. I'm also worried about Lyla, especially for the big crossover, and more so after I read @ComicFan777's post in the Mind Your Surroundings thread, suggesting that the crossover might be something like the Identity Crisis series where someone killed Elongated Man's wife.

DR has said that they will explore Diggle & Lyla's marital problems all of S6, so I don't think she will be killed right at the beginning of the season. But it's possible that the EPs haven't told him about the big crossover's storyline yet. In any event, I hope this is not the case.

Has Richard Dragon been confirm by anyone connected to the show besides that casting notice which I think came from Reddit?

 

Cause Stephen had no idea who Richard Dragon was as a character when asked about him at SDCC. 

 

Im curious whether he's an actual legit villian this year is all.

MG confirmed it at their panel too. And, I mean, he also asked if Felicity was even still alive in the same interview, so I'm wary on him being completely serious referencing things that weren't publicly revealed yet or weren't executed on what they were filming yet (seems they're introducing Michael Emerson's villain character first come 602/603).

“Regardless of what the size of the team is, post-season 5, we are not looking right now to add additional people to it,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told ComicBook.com at Comic Con last week.

So that seems like dashing the Black Siren redemption arch hopes or at least that redemption will lead her back on to the team.

I wouldn't say it dashes any hopes. I took it more as they wont be adding any new characters, BS isn't a new character, but even if they do redeem her, they wouldn't do it until the end of the season.

Not to mention MG said

right now to add additional people to it,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told ComicBook.com at Comic Con last week.

They weren't looking at adding a new Canary the beginning of S5 either.

Technincally they were because that is when the casting info came out.  

Were they? I must've been thinking the end of S4 when MG or someone said something about not needing a Canary in Arrow.

Just now, wonderwall said:

Yup. They were looking for her as early is Oct 1st

Let me clarify, not beginning of the season as in when it first started airing, beginning of the season as in SDCC when the show first went into production.

True. But right now also means that it could change in the future.

It's hard to say because Dinah was introduced mid-season. So casting calls could've easily been put up later but the plan could've been to bring her in as soon as they started planning the season. In the end it's something no one can really prove tbh...

It had to be the plan pretty early on since they brought KC in to record what she made Oliver promise and we got that very odd non death bed request to always have a Canary on the team.

Lol they were CASTING for Black Canary before season 5 even began airing. They were talking her up before she appeared on screen that you can't have Black Canary without Green Arrow. The first episode or second episode of season 5 had Oliver say he wanted to honor Laurels promise to not make her the last Black Canary. They absolutely went in to season 5 intending on having a new Black Canary.

 

Marc said they have no plans for any additional people on Team Arrow. Black Siren is not ON Team Arrow ergo she's included in the lists of additional people they aren't considering including on the team and ergo the need to redeem her seems less likely if it's not to make her a part of the team.

 

Theyve said she's a villian, they've said they prefer her as a villian, they've said they have no plans to expand Team Arrow.

Were they casting planning and casting before SDCC? The show starts in October so of course they began prepping for it before the season aired. 

MG also said "we are not looking right now to add additional people to it" They aren't done with the season yet, they still have a whole 2nd half of the season and plenty of time to change their mind. I'm not saying she is going to be joining the team and frankly I am not worried about her joining the team or not.

They also said that they "we'll see what happens in the future" as far as her being redeemed or not. So it doesn't suck to be a KC stan, everyone thought she was gone for good "never coming back" but here she is. And I would have to have an expectation to disappointed which I don't,  I don't even expect her to stay around past this season.

They start writing and planning the season in like May or June and in the the very first two episodes they had the Flash back of Laurel asking for a new Black Canary and Oliver saying he's going to look for one to honour her promise.

 

So yes they would have known they were including a Black Canary before SDCC 2016.

I'm probably way off, but I thought she asked him not to go it alone? Or to work with a team or something ridiculous that he was already doing.

That sounds familiar.  It also worked with the first episode where Felicity was trying to get him to add new team members but of course made zero sense for Laurel to say when the team wasn't lacking anyone.

So why did they show a different version of it? It is definitely something they could've planned or it's something that they made multiple versions of depending on if MG could talk GB out of it. Something we'll never know.

It also didn't make sense because she didn't know she was dying and had already decided to stay on the team, lmao.

I've wondered about that as well. Maybe they wanted to do a fake out?  Maybe the Canary thing was decided post when KC originally did the promise me scene and they had to redo it.

We're all too busy picking wedding outfits!

For the bride and groom or shippers in attendance? ?

I've had this increasing doubt that either Curtis or Rene is going to bite it on the island and one of the actors is only being used as patsy in interviews. I'd almost bet my money on EK considering his behavior at SDCC and according to some people on social media, but unlike him RG hasn't really had any promotional material done over the summer.

Haha I actually thought to myself "oh it'll be summer when they get married I'll wear a pretty dress while I watch the wedding" ?

I soooo want to believe they will kill Curtis but he did get that photoshoot.

Although it RG was announced as being just signed on as a regular right? That puts him in the same position as Dinah and BS so therefore less likely to get offed?

How did they act when they took Caity to SDCC? Did anyone get suspicious?

I wasn't around for the SDCC before S3, but from watching the videos after the fact, I don't think I'd ever have guessed it.

RG did get a regular contract in the spring, but then he wasn't shooting promo material when KC, EK and JH did as far as I know. Rene and Dig presumably got close-ish. RG could be playing Rene's ghost that haunts Dig? There's the psychological effect on Dig and one nobody can spot. Itunds ridiculous, I know.

I can't even put my finger on it, but my spidey senses are tingling when looking at those two.

Yeah.  But he probably meant those emotionally distant conversations.  :-(

They hit so many wrong notes in writing him. He was a Rebel Without A Cause for no reason, and disrespectful to the characters we watch the show for, which didn't endear him to me at all.  Then when they finally gave him a cause in The Way of the Gun, it just made him look worse because he would rather wear a hockey mask and shoot guns than get his daughter back.  It wasn't until they made him a background character with Lance rather than their star newbie that he became tolerable.

RG didn't help his cause by dismissing Felicity/EBR in interviews.

I'd still be in favour of replacing him with another new team member.

Why did he say about Emily?

Yeah does anyone remember what the original take had her making him promise?  

It was "Your instinct has always been to go alone. Ollie, you can't do that." It was the SDCC trailer..

Also I think people found the casting call while S5 was on air..one girl that is an actress and is in the fandom even auditioned for it..

I don't think it's a fitting comparison to the BS situation though..there they had a plan and had to change it to incorporate a new BC while here BS was made a regular months ago so if they are still talking now about her being a villain and no more team members I imagine no one "suggested" they go for something different.

Okay..then I remembered wrong about the casting..still considering they put the new line in the first episode obviously they changed or were told to change direction between SDCC and the premiere..starting to look for the actress in September fits.
