ARROW Season 6 May See Jessica De Gouw's Huntress Return; Will She Be Friend Or Foe?

With WGN's Underground cancelled, will Jessica De Gouw's Helena Bertinelli aka Huntress make an appearance in Arrow season 6? Executive producer Marc Guggenheim sounds surprisingly optimistic.

Jessica De Gouw's Huntress hasn't been seen on Arrow since season 2 but all that could change in the show's sixth season.  Speaking to Comic Book Resources, executive producer Marc Guggenheim has this response when asked about De Gouw's potential return. “I want to say, Absolutely [to Huntress returning]. Jessica De Gouw has expressed an absolute willingness to come back. Jessica’s a favorite actor of mine, and the Huntress is a favorite character of mine. I want to make it happen in Season 6. We’ve got some plans for the later half of the year that I think she will fit into really well, so we’ll see.” 

Going by Guggenheim's hesitancy, it sounds like there are currently no plans for Helena to show up in Arrow's first half but all that could change after the show's mid-season break.  Many CW DCTV fans have expressed enthusiasm for the character's return, with some going so far as to suggest that she should board the Waverider on Legends of Tomorrow.  With De Gouw's schedule now open thanks to WGN's cancellation of Underground, perhaps something can be worked out?

The Question should be on Arrow, if they wanted to do it a Huntress/Question show would be amazing.

@dracula - I can dig it. Vic and Helena are a couple in the comics, so I can see it working. Just not on CW, because they'll make it way to much like a soap opera. Maybe it can be on the New WB streaming site. Because I want to see their dark humor they have for each other and I just don't see the CW being able to pull that off.

@dracula - I've been saying since season 1 that they need to bring the Question onto the show. It blows my mind that they haven't brought him on there yet. Especially considering how many other characters they've had in the CW-verse. Idk if these characters will get (or if they even need) their own show, but bringing back Helena & having her interact with a newly introduced Vic Sage would be a fantastic idea. They don't need to join team arrow or anything, but they can operate separately, meeting/joining up occasionally. Come on CW, make this happen already, it's about 4-5 years overdue.

Honestly, she's probably my least favorite character in the series. But if they can do something interesting with her then I'm cool with her returning.

How about using her in the Suicide Squad and let her realize she has been on the wrong path leader her to walk the straight and narrow?Bring in the Question to help mentor her and spin them off into their own show.They could even put it on seed or the new streaming service if the CW can't find room for it.Hell,make it an off season show during the summer.

She comes back after the bertanli family was killed by church, she sees black siren, e2 laurel, and then she fights her, wraps her head around the e2, multiverse stuff and now is on team arrow

Atleast that is how I think it will go down

She killed a house full of U.S. Marshalls. How the f*** is she ever getting out of prison?

Her imprisonment/criminal background could easily rectified as a minor timeline change from Flashpoint.
