“We are beyond thrilled that Colton will be returning to

this season,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim says. “It was always our intention to have him return following his departure last season, but it was a matter of finding the right storyline to pull it off. That opportunity presented itself in Episode 412, and we can’t wait for the fans to see this reunion.”

Roy’s story left off when he pretended to be The Arrow and then faked his death before leaving Starling. His ex-girlfriend Thea tracked him down with the hope of reuniting, but Roy encouraged her to find her own path and left his Arsenal getup behind as a parting gift.

When TVLine spoke with EP Wendy Mericle this summer, she hinted that a possible reappearance from Roy could have consequences for Thea’s new relationship with Oliver’s campaign advisor.

“He could come back into her life at some inopportune moments potentially,” Mericle said. “It’ll be an interesting dynamic to see.”

Great news I loved Roy/Arsenal. I had a theory that he is in the grave, but I hope I am wrong it would be a shame to bring him back just to kill him.

That face in the picture is his “acting” face, aka the only face he can ever make to “emote”

Welcome back, Roy. Hated him at first, especially when Thea started dating him. But he got better. I hope he’s not the one in the grave.

I wonder why he won’t guest star on Teen Wolf.
