Colton Haynes' return to Arrow was rumoured throughout all of Season 5, and yet Roy Harper never did make it back to Star City. Those same rumours have persisted again across Season 6, and now they're actually coming true.

Haynes, who last appeared in Season 4 episode Unchained, was confirmed for a mini-arc on the series late last year, starting with Season 6 episode 15. According to showrunners Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle, he'll return "to help resolve an urgent matter with high stakes for the team."

Their statement also mentions that "His short visit turns into something surprising when he reunites with Thea and sparks a change in both of their lives that will have long-lasting consequences."

Roy became a fan-favourite thanks to his relationship with Thea and penchant for somewhat unnecessary (but always awesome) parkour, and seeing both of those explored again should be great for the show, and even better will be getting something approaching a concrete resolution on his and Thea's story.
