“Arrow” season 5 has been a return to form for the series and it’s done a good job of introducing new characters such as Prometheus and Talia al Ghul. We’ve been seeing a lot of Talia al Ghul in the flashbacks because she’s training Oliver Queen in Russia, and it’s also been alluded to that she trained Prometheus as well.
Fans have been wondering if we will be seeing Talia appear in the present, and executive producer Marc Guggenheim recently confirmed that we will.
“We will see her in the present day,” EP Marc Guggenheim told EW. “What she wants from Oliver in the past is very different from what she wants from him in the present.”
Many fans have been talking about the fact that Oliver Queen never mentioned anything about Talia to Ra’s al Ghul or Nyssa, or the other members of Team Arrow for that matter. The reason for this according to Guggenheim is because Oliver doesn’t know her last name.
“Oliver couldn’t have heard it, because if he had, when Ra’s talked about his daughter he’d be like, ‘Yeah, the other daughter, I met her back in Russia,’” the EP says. “We were very cognizant not to retcon anything. So yes, she is Talia al Ghul, but Oliver obviously doesn’t know that.”
“Arrow” will return on Wednesday, March 15th.
OLIVER SEEKS THE TRUTH — Oliver (Stephen Amell) gets closer to the truth about Prometheus. Meanwhile, Helix refuses to continue helping Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) until she does a favor for them. Ken Shane directed the episode written by Beth Schwartz & Sarah Tarkoff.
