“Arrow” will be returning for season 6 in the fall, and it looks like Oliver Queen could use some new teammates thanks to the shocking twist that took place at the end of the season 5 finale. So far only one cast member besides Oliver and William has been confirmed to return, and fans are still trying to figure out how all of the pieces will come together when the show deals with the fallout of the finale in the season premiere.

Oliver Queen sure looks like he could use some help from another experienced vigilante, and at Nashvhille Heroes & Villains FanFest over the weekend, a fan brought up the possibility of Roy Harper returning. Stephen Amell was asked if he misses Roy Harper, and he said that, “I miss Colton Haynes’ handsome face every single day.”

Even though Roy Harper was written off the show, he does still exist in the “Arrowverse” and could easily return. Will we ever see him return someday? Stephen Amell thinks it would be a mistake not to bring him back.

“If we end this show, whenever it happens to end, without seeing Roy Harper again, I think we will have made a tragic mistake,” Amell responded via Comicbook.

“Arrow” will return in October.

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”.
