Sara Lance hasn’t exactly had the best love life. Her romantic attachment to Oliver Queen caused her to end up on the island and her relationship with Nyssa Al Ghul has been complicated, to say the least. But Sara Lance is long overdue a little love and it looks like she’ll finding someone during the first season of “Legends of Tomorrow.”
EW is reporting that “Fringe” and “Kyle XY” alumni Ali Liebert has been cast as the new love interest for Sara Lance in the show. Liebert will play Lindsay Carlisle, a nurse from the 1950s who feels disconnected from the world because she is a lesbian and has to keep her sexuality a secret. Since the show will be dealing with time travel, Sara a bisexual woman from the year 2015, will be crossing paths with Lindsay in 1958 and the two will end up making a connection.
“At the start of this episode, we find Sara Lance completely out of place, both in time and place, visiting 1958 ‘Pleasantville, America’ — and also out of place emotionally. After Sara was brought back from the dead on Arrow, she hasn’t been herself — she’s been consumed by a quest for bloodshed and incapable of having romantic feelings for anyone. The strict social norms of the fifties makes this the last place Sara Lance would ever expect to find love with a young, closeted nurse, but that’s how love works — it finds you.” Producer Phil Klemmer told EW.
DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” premieres on the CW January 21st.
