OlderColton Haynes Once Again Leaves 'Arrow' Ahead of Final Season
Colton Haynes is exiting Arrow once again.
The 31-year-old actor, who has played Roy Harper, aka Arsenal, in the long running series, will be leaving the show ahead of the final season, Green Arrow TV reports.
The site is reporting that Colton has lost his “series regular” gig.
“We hope to have him back,” showrunner Beth Schwartz shared about Colton‘s exit. “We love him and he’s obviously one of the foundations of the show.”
Colton first left the show after season four, but returned at the end of season six, and was upped to a series regular in season seven.
UPDATE! Colton addressed his leaving Arrow on Twitter, saying that he was asked not to come back as a series regular. However, that doesn’t mean Roy is gone forever.
Getting a lot of angry messages so just to clarify…I didn’t exit the last season of Arrow. I was not asked to come back for the final season as a series regular. But y’all know Roy…he’s never gone for too long 🤗🤗🤗
