Colton Haynes Confirms 'Roy Harper' Is Returning To ARROW
Following his abrupt departure last season, the door was left open for Colton Haynes to return to the world of Arrow whenever he saw fit and now it seems as though an opportunity has presented itself. The actor recently tweeted that he's back in Star City. Come check it out!
Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that Colton Haynes (San Andreas) will be returning to Arrow later this season, for at least one episode, as Roy Harper a.k.a. Arsenal. This will mark his first appearance since he took the fall for Oliver and outed himself as the Arrow. He then subsequently left town and made one final appearance when Thea paid him a visit.
Details on the circumstances behind his return remain under wraps, but it's probably a safe bet to assume it'll have something to do with helping Thea with her bloodlust. Executive producer Marc Guggenheim added that Roy will return in Episode 412, which is titled "Unchained." The episode kicked off production today and will conclude filming following the Thanksgiving holiday. It will air after the winter hiatus.
Haynes, himself, broke the news earlier today. Check out his tweet below:
What do you guys think? Excited to see 'Arsenal' return to Team Arrow? Sound off with your thoughts below!
After defeating his most formidable foe to date and riding off into the sunset with longtime flame Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen (a.k.a. The Arrow) left Starling City with the hopes of beginning a new life. But will Oliver ever truly be able to leave behind his past as the Arrow, and, if so, what becomes of the team he has worked so hard to assemble? Will Diggle, Thea, and Laurel be left to continue Oliver’s crusade without him? And with Malcolm Merlyn having ascended to the top of the League of Assassins as the new Ra's al Ghul, is anyone really safe?
