Arrow: 10 Major Predictions For Season 5

9. Roy Will Return (Again)

There have been conflicting reports about Roy Harper's role in Season 5. He was on the set, he was returning for a multi-episode arc, or not coming back at all. As it stands, the latter is the party line - but with the caveat that the show does want him back if they can make it work scheduling wise, with actor Colton Haynes appearing in Season 2 of Fox's Scream Queens.

After the actor's brief appearance in one episode last year, they're obviously not done with the character. With Season 5 being all about legacy, and Team Arrow short on numbers, it makes sense for a major player from the show's past to return. It might not happen right off the bat, but I think there's a very good chance we'll be seeing Roy return for a couple of episodes this year - helping Thea deal with her choices, fighting crime with Oliver, and of course displaying plenty of needless-but-entertaining parkour.
