I will tell you - yes, I can tell you stuff - Uh, Crisis On Infinite Earths begins before the crossover... It begins before the crossover. But that makes sense, right? Think about it for a second. Crisis On Infinite Earths basically began at the end of Season 7 of Arrow. And it's not going to stop until it's over."

tv echo May 29, 2019 Share May 29, 2019 (edited) So much for Arrow being a gritty, grounded, crime-fighting show... Arrow star admits that "no one really wants" to make final season without Emily Bett Rickards BY STEPHANIE CHASE AND TANAVI PATEL 28/05/2019https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a27610371/arrow-david-ramsey-final-season-without-felicity-emily-bett-rickards/ Quote Arrow star David Ramsey has admitted that the show's cast members are really feeling the absence of Emily Bett Rickards after the actress said goodbye to the show at the end of the seventh season. Rickards played Felicity Smoak in the CW series from season one right up until the season seven finale, and now Ramsey, who plays John Diggle, has shared that "no one really wants" to make the show without Rickards. "We go back and Emily's not a part of it," Ramsey told Digital Spy. "That's a big thing. Y'know, no one really wants to do that show. "[But] Stephen [Amell] and I both had conversations with the producers, telling us exactly what they want to do with the next season and it really is... it's exciting." * * *He continued: "I don't know how they're gonna do it, but whatever you think *could* happen, it's probably something else." When asked if Arrow would now feel like a different show, the actor answered: "To some degree." * * * "For the past seven seasons we've been doing 22-23 episodes, so that's another muscle, just in terms of the pacing of one episode, because now you have just 10 [episodes] to tell this story that was normally told in twice as many episodes," he explained. * * *Ramsey also spoke about how the upcoming 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' crossover will impact the final season, adding: "Multiple Earths... all of that if stuff they're going to be playing with, I think. "'Crisis' does have a lot to do with multiple Earths, so..." And as to whether Diggle will get a happy ending or whether he'll go out in a blaze of glory, Ramsey isn't giving too much away on that front. "I know some of the answer to that, based on what I know about what happens ultimately to John Diggle, so I would say that it's both," he teased. Edited May 29, 2019 by tv echo Link to comment
tv echo May 29, 2019 Share May 29, 2019 (edited) Arrow's Diggle actor talks Green Lantern speculation: "I would love to jump into that mythos" In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape his sight. BY JUSTIN HARP AND TANAVI PATEL 29/05/2019https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a27616864/arrow-diggle-actor-talks-green-lantern-speculation/ Quote Arrow star David Ramsey is more than ready to suit up as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. * * * In last year's crossover event, Earth-90's Flash (John Wesley Shipp) mistook Diggle for his world's Green Lantern, and then Arrow revealed Diggle's stepfather is named General Stewart — meaning his stepfather has the same surname as DC's one-time Green Lantern ring bearer John Stewart. * * * Ramsey spoke about these hints at MCM London Comic Con over the weekend, revealing that he's starting to believe they are more than fun Easter eggs for DC comics super-fans. "They continue to tease this thing... I don't know what's gonna happen with that," he admitted. "It's fun to tease it and I would love to jump into that mythos of John Stewart and Green Lantern, that whole universe." "If John Diggle does take on the moniker of Green Lantern, does he also take on the moniker of becoming a Stewart, and if he does, what happens to that relationship between him and his father that led him to do that? There's a lot of story left for John Diggle." Edited May 29, 2019 by tv echo Link to comment
Featherhat May 29, 2019 Share May 29, 2019 (edited) I thought blaze of glory *and* happy ending would = John Stewart, but if he's actually around in 2040 maybe not. We've got father and sons drama as well. Unless Oliver really is teaming up with an alt!EJOHN. Telling in 10 what would normally happen in 23 could be done by a lot of TV shows and eliminate a lot of filler but I hope it's not nonsensical and leaves us going "wuh" and "they should have just left it with 7x22 and then the crossover."

statsgirl June 3, 2019 Share June 3, 2019 If they have any hopes of getting a Baby Team Arrow spin-off, they need KM. She and Ben Lewis are the glue that would hold it together. AS is even worse than JH in the Black Canary role. 7 Link to comment
Featherhat June 3, 2019 Share June 3, 2019 (edited) If on going negotiations are a reason she was a bit cagey about S8 then it would likely be about a spin off. Either for it or whether to bother coming back to Arrow if it wasn't happening. Or she has other projects and isn't sure how many eps she's available for or they want her for. Or just that she doesn't want to say anything off season and we're reading into something that isn't there. If they are still actively considering a spin off they definitely need her and William. I think young Zoe is a better actress than AS. Edited June 3, 2019 by Featherhat 1 2 Link to comment
kes0704 June 3, 2019 Share June 3, 2019 I didn’t find future Zoe that interesting. But I don’t know if that’s because they saddled her with future Dinah AND future Rene or because I’m completely canaried out and don’t need version 4.0 of that character or want to see an entire network of canaries. In any case, I’ve managed to completely tune out whatever her plot was in the flash forwards. I know she was in them, but I can’t tell you what she did. 1 Link to comment
statsgirl June 3, 2019 Share June 3, 2019 I think the only positive to a network of Canaries is that it dilutes the power of an individual one. 1 Link to comment
Featherhat June 3, 2019 Share June 3, 2019 (edited) White Canary's influence and power isn't constrained by time or place. ;) The other ones, not so much. Maybe Canary Network was supposed to show how there were multiple awesome asskickers but it made me think they were unenuthsed about any particular one and they were nothing special. Characters like "Blackstar" who get their own code names end up more important. I never actually saw a reason why Dinas should be attached to it beyond being DD, she was literally brought in as an insta replacement both on screen and BTS. Zoe grew up with it being important I guess. Edited June 3, 2019 by Featherhat 2 Link to comment

Pretty harsh to kill her off the season Oliver also "dies" even if she doesn't come back. Guess it wouldn't be the hiatus if we weren't discussing all the possible scenarios based on almost no info at all. She's only seemed a bit vague on it once hasn't she? Just frustrating because Queen siblings and Connor was/is one thing I am looking forward to in this mini Felicity less season.

Featherhat June 5, 2019 Share June 5, 2019 I hope we'll see a lot of William and Mia and they'll have a strong storyline even if they aren't regulars (often happens in the Arrowverse) versus actual regulars. I imagine Dig will have a fairly substantial presence in the FFs given his 2 sons and being the only member of OTA aound, even if Dinah and Rene will probably come back into the story again. Assuming both actors ae available I assume they want Oliver's legacies to have a big part and possibly a relationship plot between Mia and either/both Connor/JJ depending on how wedded they seem to be to sibling triangles these days. 1 Link to comment

tv echo June 7, 2019 Share June 7, 2019 I'm guessing that Diggle paid special attention to young Connor when he first joined the family because Connor's father, Ben Turner (Bronze Tiger), had just died. At the time, JJ was still young and used to getting all the parents' attention, so he resented the newcomer. However, he should have grown out of that childish resentment as he grew older. 1 Link to comment
way2interested June 7, 2019 Share June 7, 2019 Eh, this is Arrow. Diaz was a villain because he was bullied when he was younger, they still haven't explained why William never tried to contact Oliver and Felicity and vice-versa which led to his resentment, other motivations, etc. There's at least some sort of motive, and it would be interesting with JJ since his villain path could go directly against all four of the FF kids in a more personal way (the Deathstroke gang vs. the Canaries for Zoe, brother vs. brother for Connor, the path that Mia/William could have gone in her resentment vs. the hero path their now on along with continuing the plot of their parent issues and trying to uphold their parents' legacies) Link to comment
Mellowyellow June 7, 2019 Share June 7, 2019 To be fair they have one healthy sibling relationship in Mia/Will so someone has to be sacrificed at the Arrow altar for angst and oh so tragic and dark purposes. It now happens to be the Diggle kids. BS went into a life of crime over cake (and no one loves cake more than me so I should be sympathetic to her plight).

It would not surprise me of JJ went full Deathstroke over some crayons or a packet or cookies. It's an old story, brother vs brother and they can get some mileage out of it quickly like a dead father/son for many heroes and villains, especially having Dig involved with Felicity gone and Oliver elsewhere. Or god forbid the extra purpose of having Mia in a love triangle with both of them, assuming she is back for at least several eps. You know they love a sibling triangle. She and William might have more issues but they sorted out their sibling stuff last season so it's being changed around again for someone else. It would be understandable if John and Lyla paid special attention to their orphaned foster son and JJ felt a bit ignored for a whilebut that's no excuse for becoming a terrorist like you said as has happened on the show before. Nor do I think they would ever do so long-term. But characters have to make stupid decisions to make the future plot work as well as the crayon/cake scenario.

Barry and Iris had an unnecessarily close "foster sibling" connection that Joe chose to highlight at the wedding. 😉 I think it will be mainly Connor vs JJ for other issues though, but I am expecting some of those to be highly silly and petty. 1 Link to comment

It now happens to be the Diggle kids. BS went into a life of crime over cake (and no one loves cake more than me so I should be sympathetic to her plight). It would not surprise me of JJ went full Deathstroke over some crayons or a packet or cookies. It's just so stupid and Lazy. We already had this bullshit with Andy being an evil POS abandoning Carly and their son and basically driving Dig to kill him. God forbid we have something different. 1 Link to comment
