Roy Harper a.k.a. the red-hooded Arsenal was trained by Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen and soon he became the Emerald Archer's sidekick. Roy, however, later left, claiming to be The Arrow and faking his own death to protect Oliver. Roy has only been seen a handful of times since then, although he is mentioned frequently.
Of his departure from the series, Colton said to Entertainment Weekly, "I asked to step away because I cared more about my mental and physical health than my career at the time. I've had terminal anxiety my entire life. Physically ill, fainting. I'm 27 years old, and I have an ulcer. I had to step back."
While Roy's return hasn't been confirmed, fans will get to see fan-favorite villain Slade Wilson a.k.a. Deathstroke (Manu Bennett) when "Arrow" returns for season 6. Slade will be reuniting with one of his sons as "Lucifer" alum Liam Hall has been cast as Joe Wilson.
Joe "has followed in his father's footsteps by joining the secret Australian military agency, A.S.I.S. After years of brutal combat, Joe now finds himself in a remote Kasnian prison under the alias, Kane Wolfman, fighting for his life." Deathstroke is set to return in episode 5 of the upcoming season 5 titled "Deathstroke Returns".
"Arrow" returns for season 6 on Thursday, October 12 at 9 P.M. on The CW.
