SDCC 2016: Katie Cassidy To Be In All DC CW Shows
Katie Cassidy has been apart of the Arrowverse and its extended shows, since the beginning. But in Arrow Season 04 her character of Laurel Lance died. Leaving many fans angry at the loss of a classic DC Comics character.
But, as revealed during the Arrow panel at SDCC, she’s dead, but she’s not gone. Katie Cassidy has signed a deal to appear in all the CW shows this season. In what capacity is still unclear, but it’s a similar deal to what Wentworth Miller did after his “death” in Legends of Tomorrow, and now he’s confirmed as one of the villains of Legends Season 02.
At the panel, Executive Producer Wendy Mericle touched upon what Laurel’s loss will mean for Team Arrow:
“With Laurel being gone, it’s incredibly important for the team to move forward, remembering that legacy and honoring it,” Mericle said. “We will definitely see [Katie] Cassidy in the season premiere.”
