ARROW: David Ramsey on Exploring the Diggle Family Backstory in Season 8

As ARROW heads into its final season, the Diggle family will come front and center…especially now that John Diggle, Jr. (Charlie Barnett) will pop up in the future timeline.

“There will be loose ends tied up,” David Ramsey (John Diggle) told reporters in the video below. The relationship between he and his sons, I think we’re going to find out [more about]. The relationship between he and his father. There’s a lot in ten episodes we’ll be finding out about. And Lyla is a pivotal piece in these upcoming ten episodes. And ultimately what happens with the Green Lantern mythos.”

ARROW: Marc Guggenheim and David Ramsey Preview ‘Suicide Squad’

ARROW is bringing viewers a bit of a different episode with tonight’s (awesome) new hour: Diggle takes center stage as he has to team up with the Suicide Squad.

“You know, it’s funny, we get asked the question a lot: how long have we known we were going to do the Suicide Squad?” ARROW executive producer Marc Guggenheim explained to reporters earlier this week. “And the truth is, it happened so organically, that I don’t have a memory [of the specifics]. For us, what happened was the year started — as year one did — with DC providing us with a list of characters who were available, and who they would like to see on the show. We went through it, and one of the characters was Bronze Tiger. We thought that was a character we could very organically ARROW-fy. And it seemed to make sense to us. But we had to wait for the right time…we find the right story to fit the character. And as it happened, we ended up doing it sooner than we expected, which was the second episode of season 2. And then we started to talk, well, we have Amanda Waller happening in episode 6, and we had A.R.G.U.S. last year, and we had Deadshot last year, so that gives us two members of the Suicide Squad — three, if you count Amanda — and we started whispering the words to each other: ‘Suicide Squad. Wouldn’t that be fun to get to?’ And then it just sort of happened very organically.”

ARROW: David Ramsey and Andrew Kreisberg Tease ‘Trust But Verify’

ARROW fans will get to learn a bit more about Diggle in tonight’s brand new episode, “Trust But Verify,” when Dig’s old military buddy, Ted Gaynor (played by FARSCAPE’s Ben Browder), pops back into his life.

“You find out a lot about Diggle,” David Ramsey (Diggle) teased to reporters on set late last year. “We know Diggle has a big military background, and Ted Gaynor is one of his partners back during his military days. Diggle has to make some decisions because Ted proves to be a little more than Diggle thought. [Tonight’s hour] is a big episode for me because there’s some loyalties that perhaps aren’t as loyal we thought…We were very tight in the military. Brothers, in fact, in many ways. And those loyalties come into question in a big way.”

Causing complications? Gaynor is on Arrow’s list of people to take down.

ARROW: David Ramsey Previews Oliver’s Brush with the Law

As if Oliver Queen hasn’t had enough problems in his life recently, in tonight’s episode, he is dealt another blow: an arrest for murder.

For Oliver’s bodyguard/companion, Diggle, he’s left scrambling after his boss gets in trouble.

“My [character’s] reaction to that at first is, ‘How do we handle this?'” David Ramsey (Diggle) told me of his character’s reaction to the arrest. “‘What we need to do is clear your name as quickly as possible.'”

But his concern isn’t exactly shared by Oliver.
