When “Arrow” returns for season 6, the show will be doubling down on dark, gritty storytelling, so it’s safe to say that some of our favorite characters won’t be living very happy lives. Production on “Arrow” season 6 kicked off a few weeks ago, and the cast and crew recently started filming the 4th episode of the season which will be called “Reversal.”

What kind of reversal could the title be referring to?
Well, David Ramsey recently noted that Diggle is going to “lost some things” in season 6, and he also teased that Oliver and Diggle’s roles will be reversed this season.
“…I think specifically for Diggle; he’s going to lose some things,” Ramsey said during a recent interview. “This relationship [between Oliver and Diggle] is going to change, I think. I’m going to need him in a way I don’t think I’ve needed him before. Some of the mentor/student aspect of our relationship.”
It seems likely that we’ll find out what the means when episode 4 airs.
“Arrow” will return on Thursday, October 12.
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice.
As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).
Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
