Colton Haynes Reveals 'ARROW' Season 2 Opens With A Timeskip

Roy Harper actor Colton Haynes discusses the difference between "Teen Wolf" and "Arrow" and also discusses Roy's relationship with Thea (Willa Holland) and how Oliver (Stephen Amell) could unintentionally become a third wheel in season two.

"It's completely different," said Colton Haynes when asked to compare MTV's "Teen Wolf" to The CW's "Arrow." He continued, "'Teen Wolf' is about a lot of close, special relationships and sfx makeup. With 'Arrow,' there are really great relationships but it's on a really massive scale, we have cranes flying, and at any point there's so many cameras filming, there's just a great budget and the show's just had great success due to their comic book fans and due to DC. We're able to do so many different things with 'Arrow.' We're able to shoot so many things, some of it doesn't even make it on to tv." Haynes goes on to discuss some of the scenes that were left on the cutting room floor, particularly a few scenes between Roy and Thea Queen (Willa Holland). In fact, Haynes says that the second season premiere has a timeskip and that Roy and Thea's relationship is pretty defined. In looking ahead to how their relationship will develop over the course of the second season, Colton says an interesting dynamic will be which one of the couple will find out that Oliver (Stephen Amell) is really Arrow first? If Roy finds out first, does he keep that from Thea and vice versa?

"After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine."

Time lapse? Isn't that what killed Young Justice...?

Id like to see him as Roy eventually. I loved season one and itd be intreasting to see how Diggle would react to ANOTHER person finding out his identity...

and no, young justice was an amazing show! Young Justice was canned because action figure sales were low

I only watched like the first 4 episodes of this show and then stopped cause we had so many others. I need to catch up. I hear a lot of good things.

Wonder if they'd ever tie this in with the DCCU.

You have to admit YJ episodes were beginning to suck
@baneofexistence
They were getting amazingly boring and pointless

@Gmoney84

That would be the smart thing to do. Making Arrow part of the DCCU would be BIG money for WB. Directors and writers now, even DC's, always reference the MCU and how cohesive it is. It would only make sense to make this part of the bigger picture.

He was a bad guy on Teen Wolf & was pretty good at being bad.
Hope he can become a believable hero on Arrow.

Also hope Oliver will be named "Green Arrow" & Roy "Arsenal"..Speedy is a girl now.

One thing that irritates me in this show is having people find out Oliver's identity.

1. Diggle
2. Sexy Felicity
3.Tommy

No more please, unless its Roy. Seriously

@MrSuperheromoviefan I have a huge crush on Colton ever since I first watched Teen Wolf Season 1. So happy he's playing Roy! he's a devilishly handsome man.

Arrow is such an awesome show and the action is so great. I really hope they do two things this season. One is flesh out the relationship between Oliver and Roy and two show us what happens to Slade Wilson and Oliver on the island which turns Slade into the main villain Deathstroke.

Also a third thing would be killing off Thea because her character is annoying and unneeded.

To the people saying that Arrow should be linked to the DCCU that would not work at all. Arrow would not fit into the movie universe just like how Nolan's Batman would not fit in the movie universe. Hell Arrow is actually more realistic and gritty than even the Nolan movies. Characters with super powers most likely do not exist. Count Vertigo is a frickin drug dealer on the show and the Royal Flush gang are bank robbers all without powers.

@Firgosaurus No, I don't think he is he was photographed kissing a guy, but that was for a photoshoot, he was a big male model and male modles often have to do stuff like that. But it wouldn't make a difference if he was gay.

"Time lapse? Isn't that what killed Young Justice...?"

Not remotely. A poorly executed kids' version and collectors' version toyline strategy in support of the cartoon (which led to the entire line being cancelled altogether) was the final nail in the coffin.

And with the Green Lantern movie's merch gathering dust on shelves (some to this day), they didn't even bother with a new one in support of that animated series.

The ratings for both 'toons would have needed to be astronomically stellar across the board for pretty much the life of the season in order for them to consider keeping it alive without them making money anywhere else.

YJ was a great show even with the time lapse because the story line was f'in incredible. Best storyline for any animated cm series and it was the 3rd highest rated show on the network. If only the studio made toys that were actually good instead of blaming the show for the sales, the show would still go on. But they decided to make crap toys for the show because they didn't want the show from the get go.

I love YJ but I do agree the timeskip was frustrating. Also, HATE that stupid martian girl.

Really looking forward to how Arrow evolves, would love to see some Arsenal action, lookin forward with great nervousness to Nightwing, would be very interested to see a MoS reference. The acting still grinds against the grain in certain ways for me, but I've enjoyed the ride so far :)

Arrow is excellent. It's able to sprinkle in hints of the expanded universe without oversaturation of characters or information. Looking forward to Season 2.

As for YJ, it was perfect. Perfect and fleeting. Like a snowflake.

TheAmarilloBlack - 7/8/2013, 6:36 AM
One reason Arrow is so great is because it is able to throw in references for fans and give little winks and nods to the mythos. That's important for us comic fan boys and girls. More movies should take note.

@Superbatspiderman- I agree on Thea dying in the show. I effing hate her in it ugh. That damn actress plays the same annoying young girl role in everything I've seen her in.

i hope he means a small time lapse, kind of a "we've been on vacations so we skipped 2 or 3 months" kind of lapse, not like the huge gap in young justice.

also lol the delusion, yeah no, colton is pretty gay, he's just in the closet. he used to date zachary quinto some time before zach came out actually!
