Laurel Lance finally got to join the street-fighting team in earnest last season, but her skills have obviously improved heading into Season 4. When asked if she had a chance to train with guest star, and Legends of Tomorrow lead, Caity Lotz, Cassidy had an interesting response:
I have a feeling that she and I will be training together. [laughs] I just think it’s cool. She’s become a really good friend of mine; I totally look up to her. She’s badass, obviously. I feel like she’s a stuntwoman. She’s just so good at it. She’s really dedicated, and I am as well, so I think the two of us, even if it’s on-screen or off-screen, I think the two of us will definitely be training together.
Cassidy wouldn’t reveal anything further, even when asked if the White Canary and Black Canary would team up either on Arrow or Legends of Tomorrow, or possibly both.
I can’t tell you, as much as I’d love to tell you. What’s great about this whole universe and what our producers did so brilliantly, these three shows are all in Vancouver and we’re all in the same world. It’s definitely a possibility for everyone to be crossing over, and with Sara (Lotz) being my sister, you’d think that at least Paul [Blackthorne] and I would be involved in their show, and they’ll hopefully be involved in ours. I’m just so happy to have more friends on the show who are girls. [laughs]
Aside from Laurel fighting as the Black Canary, she’ll continue to have a storyline without the mask, but don’t expect any new romances anytime soon:
I’m really happy because I like the direction they’ve gone with my character. I’m not the girlfriend or the love interest, I actually have my own storyline. I’m not just there to serve as a love interest. Yeah, I’m sure at some point, hopefully … not to be selfish on a personal level, they’ll cast someone to potentially be my love interest. It’ll probably happen and I like that I have my own storyline aside from Team Arrow as well; I have my own identity.
Honestly, I don’t know when they would do it because Laurel, right now, being on the team and being a part of it is still so new to her, that’s just where she’s focused, owning what she’s doing, owning herself, the Black Canary, and proving herself. I think she’s living that world and is supportive of Oliver and Felicity.
