Emily Bett Rickards & David Ramsey Preview How Diggle's Drug Use Will Impact Tonight's 'Arrow'
Diggle is ready to fire in this new shot from tonight’s all new Arrow.
In tonight’s episode, as Slade (Manu Bennett) continues to uncover clues about his son’s last few years, Oliver (Stephen Amell) makes a big decision; and, the Green Arrow (David Ramsey) leads the team into battle against “The Dragon,” a villain who is stealing valuable tech in Star City.
David opened up about Diggle’s drug use for his hand tremor and how it’s going to affect him in tonight’s and future episodes.
“[It's] a situation where Diggle’s life is threatened,” David shared with TVLine. “The team has already been jeopardized by Diggle’s indecision, but it’s going to go further with his drug use. So I think he has to come clean at some point to his wife and to his team…It all comes to a head. A tragic, tragic head.”
Emily Bett Rickards adds that it’s possible the team already knows.
“There are people in the team that I think do suspect,” she says. “But because their lives are so erratic and so crazy� You know, you always sort of least expect the person closest to home.”
Arrow airs TONIGHT @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.
