Dinah Drake joined Team Arrow in season 5, and she’s certainly been a welcome addition to the show. Dinah is a metahuman, and her Canary Cry definitely comes in handy. Thanks to the fact that Juliana Harkavy signed on as a series regular for season 6, we’ll be seeing a lot more of Dinah when the show returns.

In “Arrow” season 6, Dinah Drake will be suiting up as the Black Canary, and she’ll be getting more than just a new identity. Executive producer Wendy Mericle recently spoke to EW, and she teased that Dinah will be getting a new love interest.
“I would say yes for that, but I’m not going to tell you with who, because that’s a fun story we’re very excited about,” EP Wendy Mericle said. “Not Diggle,” she added. “That’s what’s so much fun.”
There’s definitely a portion of “Arrow” fans out there that want to see Oliver Queen end up with some form of the Black Canary, but at the end of season 5 it seemed pretty clear that Oliver and Felicity are well on their way to becoming Olicity once again.
Who do you think Dinah’s new love interest will be? Sound off in the comments below.
“Arrow” will return for season 6 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”.
