Bit of an odd one this. The Wrap report that Caity Lotz (
Mad Men, The Pact, Death Valley) has joined season 2 of
Arrow as a character called Dinah Drake, AKA Black Canary..even though we thought we already had a Black Canary in waiting in the lovely form of Katie Cassidy! The site reveal that Lotz will have a recurring role at first, but "is expected to eventually become a series regular, as her character will be groomed as a love interest for Arrow (Stephen Amell)". I stopped watching
Arrow after about 4 episodes -- does this take fans of the show by surprise? We know
Smallville had a Jimmy Olsen who turned out to be the REAL Jimmy Olsen's brother, so this type of thing obviously isn't unheard of on the CW. What do you guys think of the casting choice? She was very impressive in low budget horror flick
The Pact anyway.
