Can Team Arrow survive the events ofArrows winter finale?

Diggle (David Ramsey), meanwhile, was lead into a trap and once again arrested.

That gives him two good clue trails to be following.

Hell be doing that in fits and starts as the season kicks back up.

But now that Oliver knows this information, does that change Prometheus M.O.

at all?No, I think Prometheus has a very clear plan.

Hes not altering his plan to make accommodations to anything that Oliver has learned.

Can you talk about her arrival?Talia provides a lot of key elements to what becomes Olivers crusade.

We have a very specific answer for that.

you’re able to definitely sense a familial resemblance.

Having Ras al Ghul as your dad, its likely to forge a very specific kind of person.

I think that would be a lot of fun.

Can you talk about how the team will react toLaurels return?I would say they react pretty positively.

Obviously, this is wonderful news.

We have a very good explanation as to how Laurel returned.

The team is, by and large, pretty happy.

What can you tease for Felicity moving forward?

What are their emotional journeys for the season?

We were intrigued by the idea of Felicity flirting with the dark side.

You dont want to tell a story where all the reasons why people love the character are gone.

Its this delicate balancing act.

Shes been watching Team Arrow respond to darkness with what I would describe as moral compromise.

Having been through situations like this himself, will Oliver be able to help Felicity navigate this?

The best answer to the question is its neither one or the other fully.

Oliver for sure will be trying to not help her but give her some guidance.

Its not necessarily going to operate on them the same way.

Diggle seems to be facing the consequences of being set up by his C.O.

Weve dedicated basically a whole episode to resolving the General Walker storyline.

So a lot of threads get tied together and some threads get tied up in that 12th episode.

Its funny, I dont want to tease too much about her.

But I think we have a really wonderful character here.

Juliana [Harkavy], who plays her, is a terrific actress.

Were going to be doing some new and different kinds of things.

We know Oliver is going to end up back on that island.

We know Susan Williams (Carly Pope) is investigating Olivers ties to Russia.

That payoff is going to come sooner than you think.

In other words, its going to come sooner than the season finale.

Arrowreturns Wednesday at 8 p.m.

ET on The CW.
