Our Fall TV preview extravaganza was just a small taste of the Arrow intel we’ve collected.

Like Oliver, we aimed higher and are bringing you even more scoop from showrunners Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle about the ex-vigilante’s “bumpy” attempts to get back in Dig’s good graces, Laurel’s struggle to fit in on the team and much more.

Love is in the air for Oliver and Felicity as well as many of the show’s other crimefighters, but at least one person won’t be getting romanced in Season 4, Mericle reveals in our character-by-character spoiler guide.

The EP also shares what some recurring fan faves will be up to when The CW series returns on Wednesday, Oct. 7, while Guggenheim previews new enemy Damien Darhk’s badass qualities.

THEA
Ollie’s sis has a new love interest, and the show fully intends to tap into his portrayer Parker Young’s skills as a comedic performer on Suburgatory and Enlisted. “It’s still going to be dark and gritty, but he’s one of those places [where] we’re bringing [humor] in,” Mericle says, adding that Thea “is going to have the challenge that Oliver had in the first season of, she’s now a superhero and she wants to have a normal life. She’s got this guy. How does she balance both of those things?”
