‘Arrow’ Season 5 Spoilers, News & Update: CW Releases Webclip On App To Prove Laurel Lance Is Alive! More Plot Details, Predictions

Followers of The CW TV series consider the return of Laurel Lance as the highlight of the "Arrow" Season 5 midseason episode. The return of Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), killed in Season 4, was well received by fans who expressed their disagreement with the decision to kill her by not watching the series, resulting in lower ratings.

But some fans of “Arrow” Season 5 doubt it is really Laurel Lance because of a previous claim by Marc Guggenheim, executive producer of “Arrow,” that she would remain dead, referring to Earth-1’s Laurel Lance. Could it be Black Siren, the Earth-2 lookalike of Laurel Lance that viewers had seen?

Only A Hallucination?

Another possibility that fans, eagerly waiting for the resumption of airing of “Arrow” Season 5, are entertaining is that Laurel Lance is just a hallucination, Movie Pilot suggests. Her character, after all, appeared in a dream-like fantasy universe caused by the Dominators during the 100th episode of “Arrow” when there was a crossover of superheroes.

The theory that Laurel Lance is Black Siren, her Earth-2 doppleganger, is further bolstered by the fact that it was also Katie Cassidy who played Laurel Lance the last season on “The Flash.” If such were the case, the she could likely be pretending to be Laurel Lance when “Arrow” Season 5 Episode 9 resumes.

Several People Saw Laurel Lance Alive

However, to debunk those speculations about what would happen on resumption of “Arrow” Season 5, The CW released on their app a webclip that showed Oliver (Stephen Amell) speaking to Diggle (David Ramsey), who is in prison, and telling him that Laurel Lance has been resurrected and is alive. He used the pronoun “we” to indicate that it is not just Oliver who has seen Laurel Lance alive but also some other characters in the series.

Also subject to a lot of speculation when “Arrow” Season 5 returns after the midseason break is reporter Susan Williams (Carly Pope) who likely has an ace against Oliver. Ian, the friend of Susan Williams in government, discovered a photo of Oliver in Russia when people believe he was stranded on Lian Yi, according to iDigitalTimes.
