ARROW NEWS:

1. Arrow’s Stephen Amell on that Green Arrow twist (Date: 19 Oct 2017)
2. EW sat down with Amell to discuss season 6. Amell said, “The Green Arrow can be more than one person. The Green Arrow is a symbol and his team isa symbol. The fact that we are pushing Star City in the right direction is something that is important to me because I don’t want the city to get destroyed every year…It’s been a very strange time for me on the show, because we’re talking about going on four episodes now where I’m really out of the mix, and that’s been challenging for me.” About being Green Arrow, Amell said Oliver “is out.” Also, Amell hints Oliver and Felicity could get back together.

2. Arrow: Wild Dog Co-Creator Is Not Happy WithS6 Costume (Date: 17 Oct 2017) 
3. Wild Dog co-creator Terry Beatty isn’t on board his new look. “This change erases any trace of the original Collins/Beatty concept for the character. I would not be surprised if his name gets changed before too long, as well,” Beatty wrote. “Whatever was unique about his ‘street level’ costume has been replaced with the current standard issue dark armored uniform — a generic ‘third Imperial Guard from the left/Death-Blood-Stroke-Stryke/Image big gun’ look. Sigh….” Beatty made sure there was no misunderstanding surrounding his feelings about actor Rick Gonzalez, who plays Wild Dog on the show. “I will tip my hat to Rick Gonzalez, who I feel has done a fine job in the role and has a strong screen presence. I wish him luck in going forward with this and whatever else he does down the line,” he concluded.

FEEDBACK

Posted story about Black Canary and Diggle being friends on FB 

Scott: have to admit in the Arrowverse (and with the Fandom) that does seem damned near impossible :D 

Starling Tribune I hope in this case, they will keep them friends. I like Diggle with Lyla. 

Scott: I agree on 90 percent of the forced relationships they try to shove down our throats :D I think the only ones I really liked are Vibe and Gypsy, and I loved Ray and Felicity (Barry and Iris was a given but I thought Barry and Patti had more chemistry….heh) they should save all the forced hookups for Dynasty and their other drivel shows!
