Arrow season 6: Stephen Amell teases returning mystery guest star

Slade Wilson's son

Is a popular guest star from seasons past returning to Arrow season 6? Judging from the latest tease presented by none other than series star Stephen Amell, that does appear to be the case.

In a post on Twitter below, Amell states that he was super-happy to work with someone who he hasn’t had a chance to in a while. He didn’t really offer up a clue as to who he’s working with, but we’re going to assume for now that it’s not someone whose return is already well-known including Katrina Law and Colton Haynes. Meanwhile, people like Colin Donnell and Manu Bennett appeared so recently that it’s hard to think that the person is them. We’ve come up with a few other interesting candidates instead.

John Barrowman – Could we get a little bit of Malcolm Merlyn on the series again? It seems as though he’s dead and that Barrowman is done with the Arrow-verse for now. Nonetheless, never say never, right?

Caity Lotz – Given that Legends of Tomorrow has been working on the end of season 2 as of late, is it possible that Caity could come over to Arrow for an episode or two near the end of that season? We like to think so.

Josh Segarra – Just in terms of sheer performance alone Adrian Chase was one of the best characters in Arrow history. Yet, Prometheus is clearly dead and this isn’t even a situation a la Malcolm where he is just presumed dead. We saw Adrian die. Maybe this brings credence to the twin theory?

Joe Dinicol – We still don’t understand why Arrow chose to move forward without Rory a.k.a. Ragman, given that he was arguably the coolest character in the midst of all of the newbies that they first introduced last year.

Colin Salmon – Anyone else fondly remember the Walter Steele character? We’re still bummed that there wasn’t much else done with him beyond the early seasons and the actor understandably moved on.
