Second Major Character Leaving 'Arrow' At The End Of The Season

A second major character will be leaving the Arrow series after the end of the sixth season. The first character to recent exit is Willa Holland, who played Thea Queen, Oliver Queen’s (Stephen Amell) half-sister also known as “Speedy." The second character to be leaving and not returning is Paul Blackthorne, who played Quentin Lance. Details surrounding how his character will be written out are being kept under wraps.

Though the show was recently renewed for a seventh season, season 6 is typically when actors’ initial contracts are up, hence these two exits.
