Oh, another Hal Jordan/Green Lantern connection? One day Arrow and/or The Flash will have to actually go all the way and introduce the character, since they've both been teasing him for years, but since that's unlikely to happen soon (or at all, depending on the big screen plans for the character) we'll have to make do with his his sister-in-law, Susan Williams.

The comics version is married to Jim Jordan, young brother of GL Hal, though they may not include that particular bit of backstory. Here, she'll be a reporter from Coast City, who comes to Star City looking for a scoop on the new Mayor, Oliver Queen. Played by Carly Pope (Popular, Elysium), it'll be a recurring role starting in episode 3.
