ARROW: Summer Glau to Recur

Given ARROW season 1’s fixture as one of the most genre-tastic guest star list on all of television, it’s only fitting that season 2 is kicking off the same way: a rep for the show confirms that Whedonverse (and TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES) alumna Summer Glau has landed a recurring role on ARROW.

According to The Huffington Post, Glau will play Isabel Rochev, a woman described as “enigmatically beautiful and professionally dangerous”…it seems Isabel is the VP of Aquisitions of Stellmoor International, a company that is looking to take over Oliver’s family’s company, Queen Consolidated. Yikes.

Additionally, Isabel does have history in the “Green Arrow” comics, but the ARROW writers have been fairly firm about telling their own story. Who knows what details might match up, though?

Are you excited for Glau to come on ARROW?

ARROW Season 1 Finale: Marc Guggenheim on the (Accidentally) Provocative Finale Title, Epic Confrontations, and More

ARROW has rarely pulled any punches in its first season, but even with that knowledge, seeing that the first season finale was titled “Sacrifice” was more than a bit chilling — a reaction that wasn’t exactly intended.

“I didn’t realize — and I don’t think [fellow ARROW executive producers] Andrew [Kreisberg] or Greg [Berlanti] did either — what a provocative name for an episode that would be,” ARROW executive producer Marc Guggenheim admitted. “The truth is we wanted to pick a name for the title that reflected the theme of the episode. And the theme of the episode is sacrifice. In fact, we were joking in the editing room the other day that if you take a shot every time the word sacrifice or its derivative is spoken in the finale, you will be drunk by the time Act One ends; [episode] 23 comes with its own brand new ARROW drinking game!”

In all seriousness, some crazy things are about to go down.

ARROW: Marc Guggenheim on the Bomb-Dropping, Decision-Filled Penultimate Episode

ARROW has rarely played it safe, and it seems like the tension and danger that has often permeated the show is about to explode in a massive way.

I spoke with ARROW executive producer Marc Guggenheim about making essentially two finales, Oliver getting unbalanced by his mother’s true intentions, Roy’s quest, Laurel and Thea’s decisions, and more…

ARROW: Stephen Amell Teases That Facades ‘Melt Away’ at the End of Season 1

While a good number of people are aware of what Oliver has been up to in the first season of ARROW, there are a whole lot of people who are hiding their true motivations/actions from him.

But, it seems, that might be changing soon.

When ARROW star Stephen Amell (Oliver) talked with reporters recently, he shared that the final episodes of the season leads to situations where the facades “melt away” due to other circumstances.

Take a look!

The Cast and Producer of ARROW Tease ‘Unfinished Business’

Tonight’s ARROW is a pretty freaking big hour of television: in addition to the return of Seth Gabel’s The Count (who, during his last stint on the show, was the manufacturer of the drug, Vertigo…AKA the drug Thea was on when she wrecked her car), there’s the question of whether Tommy is up to some shady dealings, and in the flashbacks, Oliver begins his training with Shado.

But you’d like a few more teases about what goes down, wouldn’t you? Before this weekend’s WonderCon panel for the show, ARROW executive producer Marc Guggenheim and series stars Stephen Amell (Oliver), Colin Donnell (Tommy), Willa Holland (Thea), and Paul Blackthorne (Detective Lance) previewed what fans can expect from tonight’s brand new episode…

ARROW Ups Manu Bennett to Series Regular

ARROW has promoted another actor — a Warner Bros. rep confirms that Manu Bennett (Slade Wilson) will return for the upcoming second season as a series regular. The Hollywood Reporter was first to break the news.

Bennett has appeared in a handful of episodes in the show’s freshman run so far, and at this point, has only appeared in flashbacks to Oliver’s time on the island. Of course, there’s also the lingering question as to whether Bennett’s Slade Wilson will ultimately morph into the villain Deathstroke —  who held quite the grudge against Oliver in the comics.

Are you excited to get more Manu Bennett in ARROW’s second year?

ARROW: Colin Donnell Teases Tommy’s Tension with Oliver, Absence for Laurel, and More

After a long (painful) mini-hiatus, ARROW returns with a brand new episode Wednesday night. And while viewers might be delighted to have the series back, things aren’t looking so hot for Oliver: he was forced to reveal to his best friend, Tommy, that he was The Hood, and now that friendship is floundering.

And it seems like things won’t be improving any time soon.

I spoke with ARROW star Colin Donnell (Tommy) about the multi-layered betrayal, how that impacts Tommy’s relationship with the people around him, and more…

ARROW Ups Colton Haynes to Series Regular

Get ready for more Roy Harper on ARROW: reps for the show confirm that Colton Haynes (Roy) will be a series regular in the show’s upcoming second season. (He’ll remain recurring for the final batch of season 1 episodes.)

This news comes less than a month after Haynes made his ARROW debut. But with all the storylines he’s a part of (romance with Thea, potentially evolving into Speedy, etc.), it makes sense the ARROW producers would want to lock him down for the foreseeable future.

Are you excited to see more Roy Harper on ARROW?
