Sure she is the least interesting character on the show right now but I figured since every other character has a thread dedicated for them, might as well give her one. Maybe one day soon they can give her a turn around and make her as great as she is in the comics.

There are less interesting characters in the show, including some annoying brats. Anyway, Laurel was ok in Season 1, then the producers struggled with her in Season 2, they've even acknowledged it:

IGN: Last question, Laurel knows the big secret. Going into the finale, what can you say about her character now that she knows Ollie's secretly and is essentially a part of his group now?

Kreisberg: Yeah, I mean, it totally changes everyone's dynamic, having Laurel in on the secret. She has become so much more. Look, I don't think it's any big surprise that we're struggled in places with Laurel as a character -- through no fault of Katie Cassidy, who plays her wonderfully and does everything we ask of her -- but ever since she found out, it's just changed the dynamic, and it's made the show a lot more fun and enjoyable to write. So her storyline in the finale is much closer tied to her father and Sarah. But especially going into Season 3, there's a much more different dynamic in the group. It's really fun to see.

Hopefully, her transition to Black Canary will be fine, the lawyer by day, hero by night Laurel could be great, lots of potential.

^^^ For the record Primal made that post back in 2012, it was just bumped to the front of this thread due to it being the first post from the original thread. He's actually one of the biggest Cassidy/Laurel fans on here.

I rematched the finale and noticed that the news scroll on tv once again had the "League champion set to retire after storied career takes him across the globe" line that was there a handful of eps ago.

What does that mean? I never noticed it before.

If Quentin actually dies, doubt it though, she might need her one of those father figure boxing types.

Good catch

I'm totally behind the idea of Ted Grant being on the show.

 

[p4poetic]

Nice catch. I'd like to see him appear.

 

[Mikelus]

I won't be surprised if Quentin stays in a coma for a while, and Ted Grant helps Laurel with her training and becomes kind of a second father to her. But Quentin should recover, he's their James Gordon.

 

[Rorschach2012]

That'd be so awesome if Ted Grant trained Laurel.

 

[vantheman77]

I have no problem with bringing Ted Grant in to train Dinah Laurel to become the Black Canary. It'd be cool if Ted Grant interacts with Dinah Laurel's mother, Dinah Drake, and bring up the Justice Society of America.

Great catch, Luis!!!! Though I don't think he should be a father figure for Laurel.
