I can buy her wanting to help people as DA after faking it in the beginning. But there’s been nothing to even suggest she wants to be (a) BC. So is it simply because she’s a Laurel? While I doubt it, we still have 18-21 that could change a lot of things. It'll probably just be a random moment though with these writers.

kes0704 April 7, 2019 Share April 7, 2019 (edited) Ken, the paparazzi guy in Vancouver, confirmed Katie was filming. As with everything related to Laurel, I don’t have high expectations that her purpose in the show will make a whole lot of sense. It will not surprise me if Katie remains with the show until it wraps at the end of S8. I don’t think Arrow ever really needed a canary and it definitely doesn’t need multiple versions all at the same time. Once Emily leaves there’ll be no present day characters that don’t have a mask/superhero suit.

Unless they provide a reason in the next few episodes, I have zero clues about why she is still hanging around a group of people who don’t consider her a friend let alone part of the team. If they were just going to end up with E2 Laurel being a carbon copy of E1 Laurel, complete with lawyer job & matching BC suit, it becomes kind of pointless to have killed her off in S4.

BkWurm1 April 7, 2019 Share April 7, 2019 Even if in the upcoming Lost Canary episode they decide that E2Laurel is "redeemed" she's still going to be disgraced in the eyes of Star City. Even if they explained she was original Laurel's evil Twin to save her rep, fleeing and going on a burglary spree isn't going to allow for BS to return to her position as DA (another evil DA, lol. Maybe all the criminals get out of jail again with overturned convictions) So it wouldn't make sense for Laurel to stick around in Star City on the regular. She'd have to be in hiding the whole time. I can see it make sense for them to have her return as just extra muscle in May.
