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.
Emily Bett Rickards begins filming the last several episodes of this season of Arrow on Saturday (January 9) in Vancouver, Canada.
The 24-year-old actress was joined on set by her TV father Paul Blackthorne.
Executive producer Wendy Mericle recently discussed the fate of Felicity (Rickards) and how the Oracle theory is not happening, with regards to her character being shot in the Fall finale.
“That’s something we definitely talked about [doing] with Felicity in the beginning�. But yeah, it will not be Oracle, sadly,” Wendy told TVLine. “People have to tune in to see what happens.”
Brandon Routh is one handsome guy as he arrives at the 2015 CBS, Showtime, & CW Summer TCA Party held at the Pacific Design Center on Monday evening (August 10) in West Hollywood, Calif.
The Legends of Tomorrow star was joined on the red carpet by his co-star Dominic Purcell, as well as Arrow‘s Paul Blackthorne.
“Can’t wait for the epic battles to begin! Welcome to #LegendsofTomorrow! #ATOMvsSavage @caspercrump,” Brandon recently tweeted about the casting of Casper Crump as DC villain Vandal Savage.
Well aside from us, the stars of Warner Bro. Television! In fact, the studio asked them to describe their excitement in just three words.
“Left to their own devices with little instruction and only a cell phone for filming, some of TV’s biggest stars embraced the challenge,” the video caption reads.
Paul Wesley, Candice Accola, and more stars from The Flash, Arrow, iZombie, The 100, and Gotham participated.
Arrow will be staying in the 8PM Wednesday time slot for the upcoming 2015-2016 season on the network, just before Supernatural.
“Nice bunch to go to work with @CW_network @MzKatieCassidy @Willaaaah @amellywood @grantgust @david_ramsey @CavanaghTom #Arrow #TheFlash,” Paul captioned on Instagram from the event. Check out the pic below!
