The death of any character in a TV show is greeted with the familiar firestorm as fans rage at the death, and DC show Arrow in the grips of a similar firestorm, the demise of a major character sending fans into an angry rage. Spoiler warnings ahead, so if you don’t want to be disappointed do not read any further.
Good, now that they’ve gone, fans are raging about the confirmed death of Laurel – played by Katie Cassidy, with showrunner Marc Guggenheim justifying the decision by arguing that – as any writer knows very well – that the moment creates new and interesting storytelling opportunities.
He commented: ”we started off this year with the promise of a death, and as we worked our way through our various different creative choices, we realised that the thing that will give us the most pop, going into the end of the season and into next season, unfortunately would be Laurel”.
