Following the success of Arrows second season and the ever growing roster of DC characters joining the ranks, the pressure is on to deliver another fantastic year. After the secrets and cliffhangers presented at the end of season 2, there are many issues to be addressed when the show returns including Laurel's role, now she knows Olivers' secret. Arrow EP Marc Guggenheim promises that there will be no catty relationship between the two women in Olivers' life, Laurel and Felicity. In fact, the pairs dynamic will be
'a lot of fun.
' Guggenheim adds
'These characters [including Sara] should all be more than just who they are to Oliver.' 'We’re always trying to flesh out Felicity’s character and Laurel’s character and Sara’s character beyond whether or not they’re going out with Oliver that week.'
Sticking with Arrow, Oliver has always struggled with his identity - man or hero? But this season will see the other characters face a similar dilemma. Guggenhiem reveals;
"For Thea: Am I Thea Queen or am I Thea Merlyn?" "With Diggle: Am I sidekick or am I my own man? Felicity: Do I exist outside the lair? Do I exist as something more than just Oliver's crush object? Lance: If I'm confined to a desk job, am I still a cop?... Laurel: Am I Laurel or am I my sister? Or can I be my sister?"
