Arrow Season 7: Ranking The Probability Of Every Major Character Death
3. John Diggle
Oliver's right-hand man, John Diggle has been part of the fabric that holds Arrow together since the very beginning. But, six years later, is that enough reason to keep him around?
Last season, Diggle found himself suffering from PTSD following an injury on Lian Yu and inexplicably decided to hide it from his teammates (which eventually put them in danger). He then threw a major tantrum and lashed out at Oliver because he wanted to be the Green Arrow... again.
There is undoubtedly a charm to Diggle, because he's incredibly reliable in the sense that you know exactly what to expect from him. But on the other hand, he doesn't really add anything new to the show. His issues with Oliver last season led to some great performances from David Ramsey and Stephen Amell but it just felt like a rehash of previous storylines.
Right now, Diggle is like that beloved relic from a legendary time that we keep around out of respect. But the reality is that he hasn't really adapted with the times and each season, he becomes less relevant.
Having said all that, it doesn't mean that the writers would ever consider killing him off. But unfortunately, of the four original Team Arrow members currently on the show, Diggle is unquestionably the most expendable. A death of his calibre would indeed have huge repercussions on the show and would be felt by almost all of the main characters.
Likelihood Of Dying: 6/10
