Fans have been waiting patiently to see Colton Haynes reprise his role as Roy Harper on “Arrow” and it’s finally going to happen later this season.
It’s now been confirmed that Roy will be returning in the 15h episode to kick off a short story arc. Even though his return will be short-lived, it’s been teased that it will have lasting consequences on the show.
“Roy is called back to Star City to help resolve an urgent matter with high stakes for the team. His short visit turns into something surprising when he reunites with Thea and sparks a change in both of their lives that will have long-lasting consequences.” executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle said in a statement.
Roy hasn’t appeared on “Arrow” since season 4, but fans have made it well known that they want to see more of the character.
Following the midseason finale, Team Arrow is back to Oliver, Diggle and Felicity, so it definitely looks like the Green Arrow will be in need of some backup, as he’s now going up against a team of villains made up of Cayden James, Black Siren, Richard Dragon, Anatoly and Vigilante.
“Arrow” will return on Thursday, January 18.
