Andrew Kreisberg, Executive producer of Arrow, spoke recently about how Thea Queen will deal with Malcolm Merylns return following her finding out the truth about her parentage:
“All hell is going to break loose in the city and Thea will find herself in a precarious predicament, and she will be saved by her father. And Malcolm is going to offer her what she doesn’t have anymore,”
Kreisberg also discussed the ramifications of Moira Queens death revealing: ''The death of Moira and the secrets of Oliver will play right into the storyline. “That was part of our math with killing Moira — that if we were going to send Thea in that direction, she needed to have nothing pulling her back here,”
Now she has a brother who lied to her and has done something unforgivable, and no mother. And on the flip side, she has Malcolm ’”
Check out two new images from the seasons penultimate 'Streets of Fire' featuring John Barrowman as Malcolm Merlyn revealing himself to Thea Queen.
