Arrow: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best
16. Lyla Michaels
Lyla first made her presence felt on the show through her association with A.R.G.U.S. and, more importantly John Diggle. The ex-wife of Oliver Queen's best friend, she wasted no time making an impact on the show, enticing viewers with her badass attitutde and Team Arrow with her competence in the field. In doing so, she became one of Arrow's strongest (if not best) recurring characters.
Lyla may never have been a regular, but she's one of the few supporting characters who feels like they've been fully fleshed out. Now remarried to Diggle and the mother of baby John, she is one half of what is undoubtedly the show's healthiest relationship and has ascended through the ranks in her profession to become the Director of A.R.G.U.S.
When she appears on-screen, you know that all hell is about to break loose and, even after all these years, its still a pleasure to watch Audrey Marie Anderson do her thing.
