Not to be harsh, but if Lyla were to die - in terms of just the individual - then it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Sure, she's a decent character, but not a major one, and things would move along with her. That's just her as an individual though, because if Lyla were to actually die it would have a big impact on the other characters and the show itself. There's the emotional impact on Diggle, who would have to suffer his wife dying. Then there's the huge shake-up of Team Arrow, because Diggle would be left as a single parent to baby Sara, and he's already finding it tough striking the balance between being a vigilante and a father. That would add a new dynamic to things, and it's not clear whether the show would want to go down that route. Also, while Oliver would no doubt be upset about Lyla's death, would it lead to him vowing to kill again? Maybe for Diggle's sake, so he doesn't become a killer, but it seems slightly less likely.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
