11 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2017's Biggest TV Shows

9. Quentin Lance - Arrow

Stranger Things Hopper RIP
The CW

Why He'll Die

Arrow has a long history of killing off its parental figures, especially those who serve that function to Oliver Queen. While Quentin and Oliver haven't always had the easiest relationship, they have steadily built bridges, and now work closely together.

At the same time, the show has stripped Quentin of almost everything - his job, his daughters, his partner - and taken him to the brink. With him turning things around, and believing in Oliver, it'd be a well-timed, particularly cruel twist, either at the end of Season 5 or the mid-season point of Season 6.

How It'll Happen

It depends when, but it seems a fair bet that he'll be killed in the line of duty - even if that isn't as a detective anymore. Whether it's as part of the battle against Prometheus, or the next foe that emerges, I can see him being a major casualty of an attack on Oliver/Green Arrow.
