Blind Item #3
This B-/C+ list actress who has a very famous name is being written out of a star role on a very popular almost network show because no one can stand her diva behavior. She thinks she is the big star and that she can't be replaced and acts like that to everyone. Apparently she can be replaced though because they rewrote everything to get rid of her. Huh. Must run in the family.

Um... Could it be? I'm not getting my hopes up, but it would be the funniest thing ever if it was true and it was self inflicted like that. The comments think it's either her or Emma Roberts.

Arrow is a network show, and Katie Cassidy doesn't really have any family that act like big stars. Emma Roberts is on FX, which is a cable spin-off from Fox and is the niece of Julia.

CW has always been looked at as a joke of a network, while FX is a cable channel. The comments also say that's how they've referred to the CW there.

I'm going to say Emma Roberts because she's gone batshit insane and because of Julia, but the "almost network" and the recent confusion about casting someone new sort of in Cassidy's place and the producers being vague and weird about their clarification makes this feel like there's a chance. Assuming it's true at all though.

Co-Sign on Katie for all reasons stated above PLUS, blind says "must run in the FAMILY"...as in "Partridge Family"!! As in David Cassidy!!! who acted like a total diva and like he was too big for the show and the only real star, etc. when he blew up. Case closed

This comment makes me think it might in fact be Katie Cassidy.... hmmm. Also makes sense given that they are bringing on this pseudo black canary/love interest out of nowhere (especially when stating in season 1 that Laurel will become the black canary). Too bad if true, while I don't particularly care for Laurel, season 1 inflates her importance greatly with Ollie's obsession, the phone call on the island, the picture on the island, all the flashbacks, etc... there would have to be some pretty big event to shatter Ollie's infatuation with her, and thus for them to write her out.

It's coming true!
 
I'm like 97.8% sure that one is about Emma Roberts. She just got arrested for getting into a fist fight with her boyfriend and has been heavily rumored to be unstable and hard to work with. I can't remember hearing anything about Cassidy. Honestly, I'd imagine she is far more humble since she started off in smaller roles.

Even if her dad wasn't famous, I could Cassidy still being where she is now. She looks good, and worked her way pretty naturally. She took small guest roles, background stuff, and was in some cheap slasher films.Emma Roberts had her own show when she was 13...
 
What's coming up on Arrow...

http://io9.com/how-arrow-will-expand-the-dc-universe-on-television-887806963

With Batman popping up in the next Superman movie, it looks like we'll finally be seeing the DC Universe coming together on the big screen. But Arrow is already planning to bring more DC characters to television, even as Season Two zooms in on the show's core characters.

The cast and producers of Arrow sat down with members of the press during Comic-Con last week to discuss the next season, including the fallout from Tommy's death and the beginning of the Black Canary storyline.

The second season picks up five months after the end of the first, with the residents of Starling City dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake and mourning Tommy. Executive producer Greg Berlanti says that the earthquake will signal a marked turn for Oliver's vigilante activities:

Certainly the initial half of the year will be very much a reaction to the finale and the things that occurred there. The other thing I would say is that Oliver's journey is very much the central journey of the show. And the arc of the series is him going from vigilante to the Green Arrow that we all know, which is a very different character than we introduced last year. So this is the second leg of that. It's a marked turn from wanting to be a vigilante to wanting to be a hero. And everybody, their own stories kind of follow suit.

Actor Stephen Amell says that Tommy's opinion of Oliver will have a lasting impact:

Everything that happens with him going forward is going to be informed by Tommy's death and what Tommy thought of Oliver when he died. He thought he was a murderer. And that's going to change everything.
"There's no more vigilante," he adds. "It has to be about something else. That's what we're working on."

Berlanti explains that while the darkness the show has set up with an Oliver Queen who kills won't be leaving the show, we will gradually see an Oliver who is a bit more like the comic book version of the Green Arrow:

Our intention was always to start however many feet back from the comic book and then to work our way toward it. Sometimes I think it will be two steps forward, one step back. People may say, "Oh wait, you turned him this way, now you're turning him back that way. What are you doing?" Hopefully, we twist it and turn it enough to keep everyone engaged, interested.

Oliver will also be exploring other avenues for helping the people of Starling City in the coming season while his mother attempts to make amends, says executive producer Andrew Kreisberg:

Well, actually, one of the things that's happening this season is Oliver's taking more of an interest in the company and you'll see him trying to use his company's power and his wealth to do good. Unfortunately, after the events of the finale, his name, as we say, is now associate with mass murder because his mother was involved in the undertaking. Just as he's trying to change from being the vigilante to be a hero, he's actually trying to change the connotation of his name now to something better. That influences his arc for the season as Oliver and also Moira's arc over the season. When we catch up with her, she's in a surprising place. This season in a lot of ways is about her trying to redeem her actions from not just last season, but what she'd been doing over the last five years.
Meanwhile, John Diggle and Laurel will be dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake in their own ways. David Ramsey explains that Diggle, ever the soldier, is still all about the mission to protect his home. "We'll see that some people have strayed away from the mission," he says."

Katie Cassidy says that Laurel will go a step further in her desire to help other people and give back to her community. Her mourning, Cassidy explains, has actually made her stronger and better prepared to deal with the challenges ahead. The vigilante has also shifted Laurel's perspective, making her feel that justice can be accomplished outside the law.

Ah, yes. Laurel is Dinah Laurel Lance, and we did see a lady who looks an awful lot like the Black Canary in the Arrow Season Two trailer. But Berlanti says that, though Caity Lotz is joining the cast as part of the Black Canary arc, we won't quite see the full comic book Black Canary — at least not right away:

We are introducing the beginning of the Black Canary story line. But there's no one that will be — just like there's no one on the show right now that's called Green Arrow. There's an evolution to it that we hope to take. And we hope that people check out how we want to twist and turn it. But, yes, we did that with Slade, obviously. We did that with Merlyn. We'll do that again and again. That's sort of the fun of the show. But we're very reverent, all of us, about what our own experiences were with those comic books and also how we know people read them now. And we hope to serve both audiences and both masters.

And don't expect to hear a sonic scream yet, either:

No, we don't have powers on the show yet. So if we were to do anything like that, it would not be from someone's voice.

Hmm, the "yet" is interesting. The producers add that we'll continue to see Slade Wilson's evolution toward Deathstroke, and, while Season Two will focus more tightly on the core cast of characters, we'll also get a few more satellite characters, including some familiar DC names. Summer Glau will appear as Isabel Rochev, and another major player will be introduced in the second episode of the season.

All of the producers were asked if there might be some eventual connection between Arrow and the newest set of DC movies, and each one said that they have no idea, but are eager to find out. But when asked if Arrow might connect to the DC movies the way that S.H.I.E.L.D. connects to the Marvel movies, Amell noted:

We don't have S.H.I.E.L.D. We have A.R.G.U.S. And we have AR.G.U.S. in Season Two. Look, the DC Universe is going to get built on Arrow before it gets built on the big screen. It's time. It's going to be awesome.

THE OTHER MERLYN
Whether or not John Barrowman's Malcolm Merlyn is really dead—The Hood stabbed him with an arrow in the finale—is up for debate. Not only did Barrowman make a surprise appearance at Arrow's Comic-Con panel (wearing an Arrow T-shirt he'd purchased on the exhibition floor, no less), but Amell was very shifty when asked about his return. He did concede, however, that it's very tough to kill Barrowman. And we never did see the body...
