‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 10 preview: When will Stephen Amell, cast return?

Did you enjoy “Arrow” tonight? We hope so, since after that big twist, you’re going to be waiting for a substantial period of time.

The upcoming tenth episode of the season is going to air come Wednesday, January 21, and this is going to be a part of a huge story for the Laurel Lance character. Expect much of the early part of the show next year to be huge for the Black Canary backstory, as we start to figure out more and more about what sort of hero she could become. We know she’ll struggle right out of the gate.

We’re going to get more in-depth about “The Climb” a little later tonight, but know that this definitely has all the makings of being a great foundation for the rest of the season.

Above all else, we feel like executives at The CW have to be feeling pretty darn good about themselves right now. The ratings for this show and “The Flash” are killing it, and it’s due to that we wonder if they are going to suddenly start considering if they want to bring another show and add it to the universe. In all honesty, we still would not be shocked if the “Supergirl” spin-off series ends up airing on this network rather than its currently-planned home over on CBS.

Of course, we imagine one of the biggest questions over the next few weeks is this: Can “Arrow” exist without the Arrow? Judging from what happened to Stephen Amell’s character, it will be interesting to see how he comes back.
