Juliana Harkavy discusses where Dinah stands on the issue of Oliver Queen stepping back into the part of Light-green Arrow. So far, flavor vi of The CW'southward flagship DC Comics series Arrow has brought about several fundamental changes, not the to the lowest degree of which is Oliver handing over the mantle of Star City's protector to his partner John Diggle. And while Diggle's been in the role for several episodes now, Pointer isn't about to permit an entire season go by without its main character doing what he does best. Sooner or later, Diggle and the Greenish Arrow moniker volition have to part ways, and according to Harkavy, she'll be okay with it every bit long equally information technology makes sense for the team.

Dinah Drake hasn't been with Team Arrow for very long, but she'south come a long way since her days every bit an undercover cop. That mainly has to practice with her becoming a meta-human being and developing a power set that makes her one of the more formidable members of Oliver's squad. Merely Dinah's also in a unique position as her time with the other heroes of Star City has been split between leaders, and at this point she'southward known Diggle's leadership style virtually likewise every bit she got to know Oliver's. And when the leadership changes over again, Dinah's loyalty may not exist with who you'd think.

During a recent Arrow prepare visit attended by Screen Rant, Harkavy chatted about Squad Arrow and whether or not information technology'southward important to Dinah to encounter Oliver in a leadership office and if the secret that Diggle's been keeping from the rest of the group will sway her opinion one way or the other. Harkavy said:

"I recollect that equally long equally it's all-time for the team, Dinah is game. And so I don't think it bothers her that John is the Arrow, I recall what bothers her is that he's the Arrow while he's compromised. If Oliver went back to being the Arrow before it made sense, she would exist upset with that as well, so I think it'southward very organic and they just try to cover their butts and make certain they don't get caught."

Thinking of Diggle equally being compromised because he'south hiding an injury and an addiction while leading Team Arrow after the explosive events of the flavour 5 finale isn't too far off the marker. It's besides fascinating that she thinks Oliver, also, could exist compromised if he were to return earlier he'due south ready, suggesting that even Dinah thinks Ollie'due south return is pretty much a foregone conclusion, no matter how much he insists he's out of the game to raise his son.

For such a new member of the team Harkavy insists that her character is only concern is the practiced of the grouping, and by extension Star City. Merely because Dinah's keeping secrets of her own, later discovering her very personal connectedness to the human being backside the Vigilante visor, possibly she's not quite equally prepared to put the good of Team Pointer ahead of her ain personal feelings. At any rate, it will be interesting to see where Dinah really lands when Oliver tells Diggle it's time to stride aside.
