Arrow Series Finale Review: 12 Ups & 4 Downs From 'Fadeout'

11. The Returns

Saying that the Arrow producers went all out when it came to bringing back familiar faces for the finale simply couldn't encapsulate the impact of that gesture. The fact of the matter is that a who's who of recognisable Arrow vets made their presence felt and every single one of them got at least one moment to stand out.

Susanna Thompson's return was one that obviously caught our attention the most because Moira represented so much of what the show was in its earliest of days, so it was only fitting that she be featured somewhat prominently. The same can be said for Willa Holland, Colton Haynes, Paul Blackthorne, Colin Donnell, Caity Lotz and Jack Moore. However, it was also refreshing to see other less-obvious faces return like Joe Dinicol's Ragman and Sea Shimooka's Emiko Adachi.

As a longtime fan of Arrow, this writer can honestly say that every single comeback and cameo was greatly appreciated. Each one of these actors played a part in shaping the show into what it became and it was a nostalgic joy to see them return one more time.
