#1 – Both Deathstroke & Robert Queen Will Return For The 100th Episode
Not just one bomb has been dropped about the 100th episode – but two! In a tweet straight from Marc Guggenheim, an image from the table read for the show’s 100th episode included none other than actor Jeremy Sheridan; better known as Oliver’s deceased father, Robert Queen! In addition, Stephen Amell has just recently tweeted an image hinting at a mystery guest on Arrow‘s 100th episode and an image of Amell and Deathstroke sitting together on a park bench, all casual like. Manu Bennett, the man behind the mercenary mask, even took the time to respond to Amell’s image with a meme of his own, which looks to be a cryptic message that Deathstroke is returning to, well, take off Oliver’s head. It has not been mentioned how either of these characters will be returning to the show, but Guggenheim did hint along with the table reading image that Robert Queen is not coming back due to either Flashpoint or flashbacks. Slade Wilson has already been on the show once before since season 2 ended, so the fact he is coming back is equal parts awesome and believable. Hopefully the addition of Deathstroke and Robert Queen will help the show get back to its roots. To be frank, it doesn’t get more “back to its roots” than Deathstroke or Robert Queen.
