Given that Colton Haynes and Stephen Amell tweeted about a particularly tough goodbye scene in early March, fans have been dreading the latest Arrow episode.
While from these reactions, it is abundantly clear that a core member of Team Arrow will die, here are 5 likely characters that could be the one:
#1: Felicity Smoak
The fans really like Felicity and with the trailer showing Oliver and Felicity hooking up in the upcoming episode but that doesn’t mean her death isn’t entirely possible. The show has been willing to take a number of risks and that could mean even killing off the lead’s romantic interest won’t be such a stretch.
#2: Diggie
Since he himself has mentioned that the fourth season of Arrow will have a H.I.V.E storyline, it’s clear that he won’t die at least until he gets a plot of his own and a chance to avenge his brother’s death.
#3: Quentin Lance
It doesn’t look like there’s any place on the show for Quentin Lance. Since he already knows that Oliver is the Arrow, Sara is dead and Laurel is the Black Canary. Probably the best way for him to go is in his daughter’s arms which could probably help her to transition into an interesting role.
#4: Thea Queen
Until now, Thea is a character that hasn’t done much even if she has learned to fight and has been subject to a number of Speedy references. That said, her death would feel like a complete waste since it looks like she will turn out to be her brother’s sidekick after all.
#5: Roy Harper
All signs point to Roy being the one most probably to die, thanks to both the trailer and the fact that he isn’t as much of a key member of Team Arrow as we would like. What is also clear is that it wouldn’t have as much of an effect on the show as any other member’s death would.
