‘Arrow’ season 2 spoilers: Laurel’s new career path

Did you like seeing Laurel at the law firm throughout the first season of “Arrow”? Well, prepare to be disappointed then, since the character is going to be taking on an entirely different sort of career path on the show’s second season. Will it be putting on a very specific outfit to sing like a canary? Well probably not yet, given that there is still some evolution left for the character, but it will still be exciting, and give her something else to do beyond just fight with her father and constantly take the moral high road on every little thing.

As for what she will be doing when season 2 picks up in the fall, executive producer Marc Guggenheim’s staying mum. This is all he would give TV Guide on the subject, confirming that her old occupation is official kaput thanks to the building being off the map:

“Because her building has been destroyed, Laurel is looking for a new job and she will not be returning to CNRI next year … She’ll have a new job and a new mission and I’ll leave it to people to speculate for the next three months as to what that mission could be.”

Could it be tied in some way to her father, whose job is also a little bit ambiguous at the moment? It’s possible, but she is still in the dark when it comes to Oliver Queen’s secret, even if she is tied to him romantically. The question that we have to ask now is whether or not that will really last, given that he decided to finally make the move to be with now that Malcolm Merlyn out of the picture. Following Tommy’s death, the mission may be different.

What’s your take on Laurel’s job, and what do you want to see her up to? If you want to check out some more news when it come to Roy Harper’s future, be sure to check out the story here.
