It was eight years ago this week that Arrow kicked off what would be known as its “Mystery Grave” season, seeing as the opener ended with a “Six Months Later” flash-forward that saw Barry Allen arrive late for the funeral of someone clearly close to Oliver Queen.
The only clues we had to go on from that startling, minute-long stinger was that Oliver felt responsibility for whomever‘s death, and as such now was resolved “to kill him,” the person responsible for it.

Ben Lewis, who portrays William “Will” Clayton on Arrow, has been upped to a series regular for the eighth and final season of the CW’s linchpin superhero franchise.
Lewis made his first appearance on Arrow last October in the Season 7 premiere, which introduced him as a future adult version of the title hero’s son.. Will is the child of the late Samantha Clayton and Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), the former billionaire playboy and one-time mayor of Star City who battles crime as a vigilante archer.
Lewis recently wrapped on the feature film Covers, the Working Title/Focus Features comedy directed by Nisha Ganatra (Late Night) and starring Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades series) and Tracee Ellis Ross (Blackish).

Ben Lewis is joining the cast of the CW’s Arrow for a season-long arc after being introduced in Monday night’s season premiere as the future adult version of William “Will” Clayton, the son of Oliver Queen and the late Samantha Clayton.
The character was initially presented to Arrow viewers as a mystery man seeking Lian Yu, the island in the North China Sea where Queen (Stephen Amell) learned the skills that made him the show’s title hero. The climax of Monday’s episode revealed his surprising heritage during his unexpected encounter with Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) — but that only deepened the mystery since that meeting apparently takes place two decades in the future.
The character of young William Clayton has been portrayed since 2015 by Canadian actor Jack Moore, who recently appeared in the season 7 premiere of Arrow.

Arrow‘s Thanksgiving-themed episode on Thursday was stuffed with dramatic developments — including the reveal of a Big Bad’s true beef and the return of a smiling face.
The holiday started off lovely enough for Oliver & Co., as he segued from a successful food drive to the unveiling of the (very quickly constructed) new police precinct. It was during the latter ceremony, though, where FBI Agent Watson showed up to arrest the mayor, in front of his son and the public, on charges related to his (alleged!) activities as the Green Arrow.
Watson seems to have a “smoking gun” to...

The finale of Arrow season 5 ended on the show’s most explosive cliffhanger yet. And we mean that literally. The closing moments of the episode titled “Lian Yu” saw Oliver Queen helplessly look on as his friends and family members were apparently blown up by his latest nemesis Prometheus. Obviously, few fans believe that the series has just wiped out its core cast, but surely not every one of Team Arrow could have escaped the bomb’s blast alive?
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, exec producer Mark Guggenheim has teased that maybe we’re asking the wrong questions about the repercussions of the finale. According to him, there are other possible consequences to the events of the episode than just the deaths of some of the characters.
“A lot of the discussion that we’ve had and a lot of the discussion we’ve seen online is very binary — people either live or they’ll die. There are other consequences that can come out of what happened at the end of [episode] 523. While everyone is focused on one thing, you know us on Arrow, we may be doing something else.”

Guggenheim’s comments are intriguing, as they suggest that there might be issues other than just dying that could plague Team Arrow next year. Maybe the characters who survive will suffer from the guilt and grief they feel at making it through when others didn’t? Alternatively, this might be Guggenheim’s way of saying that no one – at least none of the major characters – will die from the blast, and fans should expect a different kind of fallout from the event.
Still, someone we can personally see being up for the chop is Samantha Clayton, the mother of Oliver’s son William. If she dies, Oliver will have to raise the boy himself, which will give a whole new dynamic to the character and the show that could be quite interesting.
