Carly Pope Joins ARROW Season 5 As A Character With Ties To Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

We've caught a glimpse of Hal Jordan in flashbacks, but it now appears as if Arrow's fifth season will take another step toward introducing the Green Lantern Corps member. Hit the jump for details...

TV Insider reveals that Carly Pope has joined the cast of Arrow season five as Susan Williams, a journalist who hails from Coast City. Sounds pretty unexciting, right? Well, in the comics, she's maried to Jim Jordan, the younger brother of Hal Jordan! Now, this doesn't necessarily mean we're going to see Green Lantern, but the hero has been teased so many times that it's hard not to wonder if it will finally happen. Either way, this is undeniably another very interesting nod to the character's existence. 

Regardless, this version of Susan apparently comes to Star City in the hope of landing a big story on Mayor Oliver Queen. She'll first appear in the third episode of Arrow's fifth season and joins an ever growing list of new additions which also includes Josh Segarra, Rick Gonzalez, Chad L. Coleman, and Tyler Ritter. The show is getting pretty packed, but does seem to be heading in a fresh new direction. 

That's needed after this year's disappointing effort, but we'll find out for sure when season five premieres on October 5th. Expect more details to be revealed at Comic-Con next month too. Pope is also known for starring in Outlaw and The Tomorrow People and will next be seen in the sixth season of Suits. Do you think this casting brings us closer to meeting a small screen version of Hal Jordan?

With all these teases of Green Lantern hopefully he shows up soon. With Martian Manhunter existing in this universe l have to believe GL will show up soon too. At least l hope so.

@BlackIceJoe - Martian Manhunter doesn't exist in their universe, he exists on a CW show but not the Arrowverse (can we please change this to the flashverse? because honestly that show is the weakest one out of the four by this point in terms of quality)

Fun fact: I dated Carly Pope when were both 16/17 for about a year and a half.

Her older brother Kris and I are still good friends.

This is awesome news, I am very excited for her and hope she does well on Arrow.
