Last week, set photos and videos from the Vancouver filming location of The CW's Arrow spoiled one of the biggest mysteries of season 4 - which member of Team Arrow is in the grave. [TO FIND OUT, CLICK HERE]. One person who's extremely displeased with the spoiler leaking is Arrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim. "I just look at these paparazzi as they’re ruining the party for everybody. Unfortunately, when you’re dealing with a cemetery, we have to go out on location. We have to be out in the world. We can’t produce the show just on our soundstages. We have extra on-set [production assistants] patrolling. We try to put things up to block people. It does happen and it just sucks.” Guggenheim went on to add, "I just look at these paparazzi people like they’re just spoiling it for everybody. They’re kind of taking a big steaming dump on the work that all these people do. They work in Vancouver [for] unbelievable hours — [often] in the rain, terrible conditions — and they do it all to produce shows that everyone can be entertained by and part of being entertained is being surprised.”
One thing's for sure, the death of this character will change the dynamic of the show moving forward. Something that many fans assumed would happen, due to comic book canon, will now, never come to pass. And while we now know the identity of the character in the grave, we don't know HOW the character bites the bullet or who does the deed so there's still some mystery surrounding tonight's episode.
MALCOLM MAKES HIS MOVE - Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) learn that Merlyn (John Barrowman) is going to try to break Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) out of prison. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) gets a surprising offer and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) has a heart-to-heart talk with Curtis (guest star Echo Kellum). Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim & Keto Shimizu (#418).
