as I said CBM picked up news that Robbie Amell's "Ronny" involved now too so what you said is possible it can still be something with them currently put together. we'll find out , but I kinda like your idea too. that can happen especially in the case of Sara. That way they won't interfere with laurel being black canary. as phil mentioned but it will make others unhappy she's not back in the way they want.Maybe it's an anthology, one story is Palmer and Stein being science bros (Firestorm will be on Arrow later on in the season), one story is a Sara prequel and another is a Captain Cold heist caper?
But has it???????
Remember Merlyn is the magician.
This is after all comic book.
Say Thea had Curare arrows.
I know it did not happen like this.
But what if they say Sara's death was an elaborate illusion
Merlyn survived an arrow shoved through Oliver to his chest.
This "death" was unplanned
Sara's death was planned. Remember it gave him enough control over Oliver to send him against the demon.
Think of the season ending cliffhanger if Sara returned from death.
I kind of like this idea.
At this rate, Caity's Sara would have died more times than a character played by Sean Bean.
Firestorm will be on Arrow later on in the season
What if Sara is still alive and her story in this "anthology" is that she's buried alive in the grave that Laurel stuck her in, and trying to claw her way out?
So really really Jason Todd, then? Maybe she also got resurrected by Superboy Prime trying to break out of an interdimensional prison.
IF they actually end up resurrecting Sara, but want Laurel to keep being Black Canary, what about Sara taking on the Manhunter identity? They already killed off Kate Spencer last season, so she's out.
