'Arrow's Paul Blackthorne Set To Leave Show After Season 6

Arrow is now down to just two original stars, as Paul Blackthorne will be exiting the series after season 6.

The actor stars as the Detective Quentin Lance on the long running CW series and has elected not to return for the upcoming seventh season, THR reports.

Paul‘s exit comes just after Willa Holland, who played Thea Queen/Speedy, left the series earlier this year.

Paul was one of the show’s original stars, and with his departure, this leaves only two original actors on the show – Stephen Amell and David Ramsey.

Emily Bett Rickards recurred in season one before being promoted to regular in season two, and Katie Cassidy departed for a season, only to return a season later.
