The last time we saw Thea Queen in Arrow, she was with her biological father Malcolm Merlyn, a.k.a. The Dark Archer. She's since been spotted in trailers for season three training, leading many to believe that she will align herself with him against The Arrow. Well, according to Deadline, Austin Butler has now joined the series in a recurring role which will see him play a charismatic DJ whose talent and wiles catch the attention of Thea Queen. Their "professional" relationship will quickly blossom into a romance, so could this be a sign that she will be returning to Verdant and making amends with her brother? Or is she back as a spy for Malcolm? We'll have to wait and see! Butler has previously appeared in The Carrie Diaries and Switched At Birth. What do you think?

This show is such a soap opera. I don't know why it has such a fan base.

To each their own, I guess.

i dont understand why thea ran of with malcom merlyn, sure everyone lied to her but running off with a murderer and a lier is a bit extreme even if he is her dad.

Arrowhead, two of my fantasy teams are completely relying on Jamaal Charles having a monster year. If he shits the bed, I'm taking it out of your ass.

@blackandyellow

My year will consist of me watching the Bengals kick the shit out of the AFC North. Your Steelers can just stay were they've been the past few years...a third place team.

thanks JW for including a pic of the actor so we know who he is...

Jilly, they were 2nd place last year. Looking at the Bengals schedule they'll probably go 9-7. 10 wins at best. Dalton just isn't a top tier QB.

I bet this guy is a CB character in the long run, like secret identity shit

@DCGuy: What, are you blind? He's right there in the teaser image. I also have it on good authority that Google is pretty easy to use these days.

@blackandyellow

I'll give him one more year. He's supposedly worked on improving a lot of stuff this past offseason. In any case, the rest of the team can carry to the playoffs. I honestly think...OH MY LAWD THAT GIF, BEARD!

dammit, somehow I ended up with [frick]ing Stafford as my starting QB. He better produce, pedusto!

@skeeman

He's getting old and his O line has been abysmal the last few years. They're one injured lineman away from being screwed again this year. He still has 2 or 3 years left though.

CW soap opera crap. After training with Malcom, an seemingly and becoming a badass set on on a mission, why would she be interested in some random dj??? Why not a comic character?? Seems like they have to fill a roman tic interest quota for retain characters....every CW show. Who's Laurel's interest gonna be a charismatic nagger at Acme?? I love Arrow but being on the CW makes it have to conform to some sappy bs
