When you stop and think about it, Thea Queen (Willa Holland) on The CW’s Arrow has quite the distant relationships with the men in her life. She lost her father at a young age, and she thought she lost her older brother then, too. He returned home but kept her at more than an arm’s length, creating some tension and lots of secrets between them. She rebelled against this– as any young woman would– made some bad choices and fell for a bad boy. Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) may be trying to prove his life worthy of saving and clean up Starling City now, but in doing so, he is putting himself and Thea by association in harm’s way and keeping secrets from her, too. She fell for a guy who is damaged in many of the same ways her brother is, and now that she has come so far and matured so much in the five months since the earthquake, it may be time for her to clean up both her professional and personal life.
“Thea Queen, I’d like to think, is better off than most at the beginning of the [second] season…Thea’s actually kind of got herself a bit put together now. She’s running the club at Verdant; she’s managing the bar and actually not drinking behind the counter; she’s actually taking care of things on the other side, which is good for her; and it seems like she’s actually got her head screwed on a little bit tighter than before,” Holland said when LA TV Insider Examiner sat down with her on set.

Willa Holland rocks the Vancouver uniform like no one else.
She popped in to chat with the journalists wearing a giant coat and Uggs to keep warm in her character’s evening gown and jewels. A weird look, for sure, but no one can do it like Willa.Willa’s character Thea is getting her life together.
“Thea Queen, I like to think, is doing better than most,” at the beginning of the season, said Willa. “Thea’s got herself together now. She’s got her head screwed on tight, a little tighter than before. She’s doing a bit better.” As for how she’s dealing with the tough times, Willa said, “She’s used to isolation. The last five months have been about self-growth for her.”
